Tensions rise as Veah meets Sunny’s father in 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days

Veah’s preparation for the meeting

Veah’s long-awaited opportunity to meet Sunny’s father came with apprehension, as she had felt that Sunny was reluctant to introduce her due to her tattoos and differing religious background. Before the meeting, Sunny suggested Veah wear clothing to cover her tattoos, an idea she reluctantly accepted to make a good impression.

"I don’t normally dress like this..I just want to be accepted for who I am," she said.

Despite her efforts, the interaction began on an uncomfortable note when Sunny’s father remarked that Veah looked different. He said she looked more "healthy" in pictures. Veah, already feeling self-conscious, interpreted this as a comment about her weight.

“I don’t know if it’s just the language barrier or what, but I feel a little bit attacked,” she said in a 90 Day Fiancé confessional.

Conflict over tattoos and religion

As the conversation progressed, Sunny’s father focused on Veah’s tattoos, expressing his disapproval, firmly saying they "don't like" that. Veah explained the personal significance of her tattoos:

"They tell the story of my life. My leg tells the story of my family, and it even has the date my brother passed away."

However, Sunny’s father insisted and said,

"Tattoo totally wrong… When you feel comfortable, then you can remove [them] after two months, three months, when you like."

The conversation turned even more tense when Sunny’s father questioned whether Veah would convert to Islam, saying,

“So if Sunny say goodbye to your religions, you will do that. You should do that if you love Sunny. You know, you see, if the head of family is Muslim, I'm sorry. You should follow.”

Veah, however, firmly declined. Feeling overwhelmed by the judgmental remarks, Veah excused herself and left the restaurant, saying she was "done" and didn't want to be there anymore.

The aftermath

After the meeting, Sunny apologized to his father for putting him in that "situation," but his father remained steadfast, saying he doesn't like what he sees in her. Sunny acknowledged in a private confessional,

“It was already going to be difficult to win my father over with the cultural differences we have. And running out the way she did… she just messed up everything.”

Later, Sunny confronted Veah about her decision to leave, expressing his disappointment.

“You wanted to see my dad. I listened to you. I did everything you asked for. Do you think how does this make me feel that you just walk away from the table?” he asked.

Veah explained her feelings, saying,

“I just kind of had an anxiety attack…I just had to leave. I just didn't know what to say and I was uncomfortable. Like your dad's talking about all these things, you know, how you need to have your tattoos removed and I don't know. I just kind of felt like a tag team."

The discussion revealed deeper issues between the couple, particularly regarding religious expectations. Sunny admitted in a 90 Day Fiancé confessional,

“The truth is, if Veah doesn’t convert, I can’t be with her. I wish I did talk to her about converting religion before we met my father, but I was so scared of losing her. Now we are in a bigger mess.”
