“It was a complete surprise,” Sweetin tells PEOPLE. “We are just thrilled and I am in shock still! I was glad that everybody was there. People videotaped it, it was great.”

The 29 year-old mother-of-two claims the original 2½-carat oval sapphire, surrounded by 18 diamonds in a snowflake shape engagement ring “is so beautiful”. Jodie was happy to share this moment with family and friends, including the couple’s 5-month old daughter Beatrix and her 2 year-old daughter Zoie, whose father is her ex-husband Cody Herpin.

“We are in no hurry as far as dates or anything like that,” says Sweetin, who adds that gay marriage rights factor into their decision to wait. Adds Coyle: “We want to wait until there’s equality for everybody to get married.”

And if that day doesn’t come anytime soon? “That’s okay,” says Sweetin. “We were absolutely committed before this, anyway. We’re just so excited.”

Adds her new fiancé of their happy news: “Just because we weren’t married doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve a ring.”

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! Jodie and Morty want to wait for the perfect time to get married, but that does not mean they aren’t already enjoying the pleasures of parenthood and life together.
