Vini wanted to make the proposal special and wanted the family to be part of it. He got everyone together for a surprise dinner with the help of Daniel. Sonia was told told by her brother Daniel he was doing a dinner for his going away before he went back to work in Texas. Vini called both Sonia's parents and asked for there permission to marry her. Of course they both said yes with happiness. Vini had one last person to ask to make sure it was okay, Sonia's youngest daughter, Sophie. Sophie is the feisty one of the kids. He knew if Sophie was cool with it then Sonia's other daughter Alicia would be cool with it. Vini went up to Sophie and said "I am going to ask your mom to marry me do you want to see the ring?" Sophie said yes. Vini showed her the ring and said "is it ok if I ask her to marry me?" Sophie smiled and said yes! The night of the dinner Sonia, Vini, and their kids all went to meet up with everyone. There were so many family members and friends. Sonia was shocked on how many people were there for the dinner from both sides. Vini couldn't wait to ask Sonia, he tried to wait after everyone got their food but instead he asked when he knew everyone was there. So while everyone was getting their drinks Vini stood up. He start telling everyone thank you for coming out and then turned his speech and attention to Sonia. He said' we have been together for a long time and with every challenge we faced we came out stronger then when we started and that is why I want to spend the rest of my like with you, will you be my wife?" Sonia was shocked. It took her a couple seconds to recognize what was going on but once she did she said yes!! and gave Vini a big huge. The room filled with cheer and smiles.
