**90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days** brought viewers an intriguing storyline featuring Veah Netherton and Sunny Mahdi. While the couple appeared united throughout the Tell All episode, several unexpected revelations emerged following the finale of season 7. Sunny, originally from Bangladesh and residing in South Africa, worked alongside his father in a family store. He met Veah, hailing from Florida, through an online dating platform. Their troubled pasts shaped their connection—Sunny experienced parental absence while Veah faced a tumultuous upbringing in foster care and a religious cult due to her parents’ struggles with addiction.
Upon traveling to Durban, Veah was accompanied by her ex-boyfriend-turned-friend Rory to alleviate her anxiety about going alone. This lack of transparency created trust issues with Sunny, especially after his father expressed concern over their differing religious beliefs and Veah’s tattoos. Despite his own instances of straying from religious norms, Sunny pressured Veah to convert to Islam, a request she found difficult. Additionally, Veah had been hiding the fact that she was living with a brain tumor while filming the series.

Even before Veah arrived in South Africa, Sunny was carrying an engagement ring, but was conflicted about his future with her due to her refusal to convert to Islam. After spending over two weeks together, Sunny whisked Veah to a picturesque waterfall and proposed, acknowledging their “special”connection and expressing that he feared he might not find love again like theirs.
“I’ve thought about it, and yes!”
With excitement, Veah accepted Sunny’s proposal, marking a significant turn in their relationship. While Sunny chose to keep their engagement a secret from his father, discussions about Sunny moving to the U.S. to be with Veah ensued. However, upon meeting Sunny’s father, tensions escalated as he deemed the reluctance for Veah to convert as “unacceptable,”demanding that Sunny choose between his family or his fiancée.
