Matilda and Niles, a couple from 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days Season 7, have quickly become fan favorites. Their genuine connection and heartfelt moments stand out, especially when compared to the other couples from the same season, who often seem mismatched and hopeless. Niles, who hails from Mobile, Alabama, and Matilda, from Offinso, Ghana, are the only couple from the seventh season of Before The 90 Days with a chance for a happily ever after.
Niles has always been clear about his intentions to marry Matilda and bring her to the United States. However, he wanted to take his time to get to know her better in person before making such a significant commitment. During his first trip to Ghana, Niles was not financially prepared for a traditional Ghanaian wedding or to pay Matilda’s dowry, which added to his decision to postpone the wedding.
In this week’s episode, viewers saw Niles proposing to Matilda with a beautiful engagement ring he bought in Ghana. The proposal was a touching moment, showcasing Niles’ deep affection and love for Matilda. However, when he informed her that they wouldn’t be getting married on this trip, Matilda felt disappointed and upset, leading her to storm off. This reaction highlighted the cultural and personal expectations that both are navigating in their relationship.
Despite the minor setback, Niles’ trip to Ghana was far from a failure. He got to know Matilda better, and their engagement marked a significant step forward in their relationship. Despite Matilda’s disappointment at having to wait several more years for her dream Ghanaian wedding, it seems that she and her partner celebrated their engagement with a party. The event was attended by close family members and friends, which demonstrates their commitment to each other. The engagement party helped Niles show Matilda and her family that he was serious about her and allowed him to meet and get to know his future in-laws.
Initially, the viewers were skeptical about Matilda’s intentions, suspecting she might be using Niles to move to the U.S., secure a better life, and eventually obtain a green card. However, with each new episode, it has become increasingly clear that Matilda genuinely loves her American partner. Her actions and how she treats Niles have shown that she is not a scammer with bad intentions.
