It was a romantic undertaking
that lasted for five months.

In what has to be one of the most elaborate marriage proposals ever conceived, 38-year-old Ray Smith managed to pop the question nearly 150 times before his girlfriend ever realized it, Yahoo writes. As you can see from this screenshot pulled from a video that Smith made documenting his venture, he did it by writing “Will you marry me?” on a small card and sneaked it into photos – 148 of them over the course of five months, to be exact. According to the article, she said yes after he revealed the photos in a slideshow on Christmas morning. Smith pulled it off by convincing his girlfriend, who was pregnant at the time, to take all the photos in order to “track the progress of the baby, which was a little bit of a ruse.” Indeed. But a ruse well played, sir, a ruse well played.

Windsor Jewelers: Building for Tomorrow with Wilkerson

After 43 years in the jewelry industry, Windsor Jewelers' President Rob Simon knows the value of trusted partnerships. When planning a store expansion in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, he turned to Wilkerson to transform existing inventory into construction capital. "There have been very few companies I've dealt with that I totally trust," Simon shares. "Wilkerson understands their success is 100% based on your success." The partnership enabled Windsor to fund new showcases and construction while maintaining their position as their community's premier jeweler. For Simon, the choice was clear: "Over the years, I've been abused in every direction there is by different people in this industry, so I know what to avoid. One company not to avoid is Wilkerson."
