“I’m beyond excited for our future together,” she told PEOPLE in November 2019. “Rick is my best friend. My partner in crime. I’m so in love. I can’t believe this happened to me. I feel like I just won the lottery,”
“He said this amazing speech about our love and then got down on one knee and pulled out this giant ring,” Dodd said of her joyous surprise. “I couldn’t believe it!”
Leventhal added, “I feel like the luckiest guy on earth.”
At the time, the couple was already eyeing Oct. 10, 2020, as their wedding date.
Towards the end of September, the couple both commemorated one major step in their engagement: getting their marriage license!

Days ahead of her wedding, Dodd opened up about what their special day would be like, telling Bravo Insider that the ceremony would be "intimate" amid the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
"We just have limited guests," Dodd said, adding that "it's kind of nice, though. Because it's intimate."
"I have friends from like grade school coming. It's very informal. It's not like it's going to have the flower girls and the whole thing. It's just gonna be her there and that's it," explained Dodd, who revealed that Jolie would "be my maid of honor."
She also shared that Leventhal's friend "is going to ordain us in the ceremony."
"It's really going to be intimate and special," Dodd said during the interview.
While the wedding will be small, Dodd shared that in an effort to protect her guests, she had "masks made."
"It says Rick and Kelly [and] 10-10-2020 for everybody to wear," Dodd added.
