Jennifer Pedranti, a star from "The Real Housewives of Orange County," announced that she and her fiancé Ryan Boyajian have finally set a wedding date after years of speculation among fans and co-stars. The couple decided to take this step due to encouragement from their children rather than pressure from the show's other cast members or viewers. Pedranti also discussed recent drama involving fellow cast member Vicki Gunvalson, who has been deflecting questions about her own relationship by focusing on Pedranti’s marriage plans and calling her “low-hanging fruit.”
