"I feel like it should have happened years ago, so I'm kind of shocked," she tells Us.

Stanger, 48, tells Us Friedman -- a 51-year-old real estate executive whom she met through a matchmaker five and a half years ago -- popped the question in Maui, Hawaii, on her May 31 birthday. A black swan named Raymond delivered the 4-carat ring.

Of the ring, she tells Us, "I have a rule, if you go out a year and he doesn't propose, it goes up a carat a year." Now, the L.A.-based duo, who don't live together, are planning for 2010 nuptials.
