Who says you should only get proposed to once? Dean Smith popped the question to his girlfriend, Jennifer Kessel, a whopping 365 times — without her knowing — using a whiteboard while going about his daily routine! He captured the year-long proposal spree on tape, which he finally unveiled to Kessel on January 8, 2015 (her 26th birthday) while they were on vacation at the Playa Linda Beach Resort in Aruba. (Jennifer has been vacationing at the resort since childhood.)
"I just wanted to let you know how much I love you and how special you are to me. How incredibly smart, funny, caring, and stunningly beautiful. To me, you are perfect. Exactly one year ago, I realized that you were the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with...but how do I plan the perfect proposal? One that shows you how much I love you, how you're in my thoughts every moment of every day? Then I came up with a brilliant idea: We all know how much you love countdowns. That's it! I'll make a countdown video," Smith explained.
Jennifer is not easily surprised, but Dean pulled it off because she thought the hoopla was just for her birthday. They met through online dating: he’s originally from South Africa, and she’s from Arizona.
Watch the romantic video that's taken the Internet by storm:
They are getting married in Phoenix next April and returning to Aruba for their honeymoon, the destination where they first agreed on forever.
