She was tired of being asked when she was going to get a “bigger ring.”

Rachel Pederson is receiving support from all around the country after writing an epic Facebook post that defends the size of her engagement ring against all those who have criticized it, writes Self. The article details the humble romantic beginnings of Pederson, a single mother living in Minnesota, and her husband, a window washer who drained his savings to buy the ring. She describes their love as being so “instant” and “strong” that the size of the diamond didn’t matter to her, nor does it reflect the success that she and her husband have achieved. Check out her post below.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
