HollywoodLife.com spoke with ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ star Tamra who tells us that she and Eddie are slowing planning their big day — Plus, she reveals what her three kids think!

Tamra Barney is planning a wedding! The Bravo reality star says that since announcing her engagement this past March, her life has been a whirlwind. But she says even though she and fiance Eddie Judge are “taking things slow,” she knows she wants it in Italy!

“Honestly we’re talking about February,” she told us of her upcoming nuptials. “We have a lot going on, a destination wedding maybe in Italy?”

But she did add that she and Eddie aren’t in a huge rush because she wants to make sure her kids can adjust.

“We are just taking it slow,” she says. “We just combined our families together back in February, so it’s a whole process. I said I’d get married when the kids are ready.”

So are her kids with ex-husband Simon Barney: Sidney, 14, Spencer, 12, and Sophia, 6, ready for their mom to say ‘I’do’?

“Divorce is never easy and it takes a long time for the kids to adjust,” she says. “I don’t know if the kids will ever be completely ready. They still in their minds hope and dream their parents will be together. So we are just taking it slow one day at a time. It’ll happen when it happens.”

But one things for sure, her kids will definitely be involved in the ceremony: “Sidney has a lot to say about the dress, my six-year-old definitely wants to be a flower girl and my 12-year-old son could care less.”
