In the biggest SURprise ever, Beau Clark and Stassi Schroeder, stars of Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, are engaged (!!!). …And the proposal happened in a cemetery, which, if you’ve watched even one episode of the hit reality TV show, then you know it’s the most thoughtful way Beau could have popped the question to Stassi, who loves all things death-related and morbid. (I mean, she had a freaking exorcism last season, after all.)

But up there with her obsession with murder mysteries and gore (and SUR’s fried goat cheese balls), is my love her love for Beau—a quirky breath of fresh air who pretty much put all of Stassi’s previous, well, beaus to shame.

How about a quick refresher? There was Patrick who constantly spoke over and for Stassi, belittled her, and then broke up with her on their fourth anniversary. And while he certainly seemed like THE WORST, he was somehow one-upped by Mr. Jax Taylor, Stassi’s castmate and SUR bartender who swept the Next Level Basic author off her feet before cheating on her many, many times—including that time he slept with Stassi’s best friend, Kristen, another castmate and server at SUR. (Oh, and let’s not forget that Kristen’s boyfriend was in the next room!)

But all that relationship drama’s over now (jk jk, this is Stassi we’re talking about). The Straight Up With Stassi podcast host has finally found the one in Beau, which their friends and family were more than ready to celebrate following the proposal. According to Stassi’s Instagram Stories, after the couple had some one-on-one time at Stassi’s future resting place and she admired what she describes as a Downton Abbey-esque diamond (not bad, Beau), the pair headed to an intimate lunch hosted at Villa Rosa, a.k.a. Lisa Vanderpump’s house.

Based on social media and reruns of the series, if you ask me, Stassi and Beau will be together forever. But these aren’t things you just leave up to the #PumpRules gods. Instead, Terri Orbuch, PhD, author of 5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage From Good to Great and professor at Oakland University in Michigan, stepped in to analyze the couple’s body language to reveal whether this union, which started off in a cemetery, will see its end sooner than these two might expect.

What matters to Stassi matters to Beau.

All eyes were on Stassi at her fashion event and Beau, according Orbuch, clearly knew that. His adjusting her hair is something Orbuch says Stassi both invited and appreciated because of the way she’s smiling and looking at Beau with “adoring eyes.”

It’s one of the simple ways Beau shows Stassi he’ll be there for her whenever she needs him. I mean, just look at his concentration! Orbuch says it’s as if Stassi asked him how her hair looks, and he instantly dedicated all of his attention to keeping it at its best.

Beau loves reminding Stassi how proud he is to be with her.

ICYMI, Beau is the life of the party, and he brings out Stassi’s playful side. He keeps a smile on her face while showing her (and everyone else, for that matter) that he loves loving every part of her—birthday meltdowns and all.

His propping her leg up is for laughs, of course, but Orbuch can see that there’s something more behind it. Beau is communicating: “Can you believe this?! I’m with her!” And Stassi, standing tall and serving up a genuine smile, can’t get enough.

Beau is Stassi’s happy place when she needs one.

It’s no secret that reality show reunions are hea-ted and, somehow, Beau’s guest appearance at the season seven reunion brought Stassi some much-needed calm (especially since she was sitting next to James Kennedy).

“Both Stassi and Beau look comfortable and happy in this photo,” says Orbuch. Beau’s large smile is a dead giveaway, but what you might not pick up on is how Stassi is leaning back in her seat and angling her head toward Beau, meaning she’s at ease now that he’s by her side.

Plus, they’ve got their hands on each other’s legs—a healthy possessive move that convinces Orbuch these two only have eyes for each other.

This couple’s totally in sync.

There’s just a bunch of good things going on here, according to Orbuch.

First, there’s the touching bodies. The lack of space means Stassi and Beau are bonded to each other (almost literally). Then, there’s the matching stances: their feet pointing toward each other means they’ve got one another on the brain, despite all the cameras in their faces.

And THEN, Orbuch notes the way they’re both standing tall. Though Stassi and Beau have heart eyes for each other, the way they’re standing tall without leaning on each other shows how confident they are in themselves. That, she says, proves their being together is a choice based on love, not necessity.

Stassi doesn’t want to be in anyone else’s arms.

Stassi makes a good point in the Instagram caption she wrote for this photo: “The Look of Love or Gone Girl vibes?”

Regardless of which you choose, the romance in this photo is undeniable. Even when this couple poses for the ‘gram, it’s clear to Orbuch that Stassi and Beau take care of each other because of the way their arms are extended toward one another. “She’s staring intensely right at Beau,” a look which tells Orbuch that Beau is Stassi’s one and only.

They trust each other with all they’ve got.

This is one Orbuch called “cute” and “comfortable—” two labels she wishes she could give every couple.

While looking good together is a bonus, being comfortable with each other means Stassi and Beau can totally be themselves when they’re together. The trust is especially obvious because of the way Stassi’s nestled up to Beau, who wraps an arm around her in order to better support her.

Plus, the fact that Stassi’s entire body is facing Beau’s and his knees are angled toward hers shows there are no walls between these two.

Looks like these Stassi and Beau are going to last.

I mean, this pic just says it all—no analysis needed. Congratulations to the happy couple!
