JWoww aka Jenni Farley is following the steps of her best friend Snooki toward family life. The "Jersey Shore" star announced her engagement to boyfriend Roger Mathews whom she has been dating for two and a half years.

The engaged couple appeared on the cover of InTouch magazine along with the huge bling. "It's more than I ever expected," Farley told the magazine. "Roger's not an average-looking guy, he's huge: his personality, his size [6'4"]. So I always said, 'I want my ring like you - big! The bigger the better!' " The ring reportedly is 5 carats and surrounded by 2.5 carats of pink and white diamonds.

Mathews popped the question during a recent skydiving session after months of planning. "I look over and see a hand-written sign: 'Jenni, will you ... ' and then I turned to him and freaked out," JWoww recalled. "The whole time I'm screaming, 'What are you doing? What's going on? He's like, 'I want to spend the rest of my life with you! Will you allow me to?' "

JWoww's "Jersey Shore" co-stars have poured in their congratulations. New mom Snooki tweeted, "CONGRATS on the engagement boo! Love you so much." DJ Pauly D wrote, "Congrats!!!!! @RogerMathewsNJ @JENNIWOWW I Just Herd The News!!!! They Grow Up So Fast :)"
