Marty was a street performer who came to Miami hoping to make it big. As luck would have it, he wasn't too far from the restaurant that Cuban singer Gloria Estefan owned, and the famed German music producer happened to be dining there the day he discovered Marty performing. Initially, Marty thought he was being played, but later found out that this truly was, the famous producer responsible for the likes of Boney M, La Bouche, and other famous Eurodance acts. Marty then got together with Hernandez twins, which was even better considering their previous experiences.
The group of 6 Cuban friends went to Miami Beach for a walk. Ariel and Cassandra had already started dating. He explained to her the night he saw her singing at the restaurant, and asked her about the song she sang.
"Was it something you came up with or something you heard before?" He asked.
"It was an ABBA song." She explained.
"ABBA? That Swedish group?" Said Ariel.
"Si." She said. "They're my favorite. They even sang some songs in Spanish."
"Interesting." He said.
They talked about their past experiences in show business, and they were impressed with one another. They also showed each other their photos in magazines (Their parents were so proud of them that they kept every single magazine they appeared in!).
Meanwhile, Gabriel was chatting up Danielle.
"I don't think I got the chance to introduce myself to you. Soy Gabriel."
"Soy Danielle, it's lovely to meet you. You guys are so talented."
The twins and the girls shared funny stories about their childhood, as well as stories from their modelling so far.
When the families met each other, it was like they'd known each other for years. The Hernandez family loved both girls, and vice versa was true as well.
One night, Jose and Hortenzia Hernandez were coming to dinner at Abuela Leticia's home, joined by Ariel, Cassandra, her parents, and Abuela Barbara.
Leticia and Barbara greeted each other with big hugs and kisses.
Cassandra put on the Spanish version of ABBA's Andante Andante before setting the table while dancing gracefully, singing along.
Ariel then took her into her arms and waltzed with her while she laughed with joy. Her grandmothers came out of the kitchen to see what was going on, and they smiled with tears in their eyes at the beautiful romance unfolding before them.
Ariel and Cassandra looked into each other's eyes before sharing a tender kiss, oblivious to their surroundings until the oven timer went off and the song was over.
Ariel sat down with his parents while Cassandra helped her grandmothers bring the dishes to the table.
"Cassandra, I had never seen my son so happy." Said Hortenzia. "Every time he talks about you his face lights up."
"I say the same thing for Cassandra." Said Soledad. "Now every time I see her she has a great big smile."
"A beautiful smile." Said Leticia.
"Gracias." Said Cassandra, slightly blushing.
"I obviously did something right." Said Hortenzia.
"You?" Said Jose. "He clearly got his passion from me!"
"What passion?" Said Hortenzia. "You won't so much as look at me anymore, Jose!"
While Cassandra was slightly amused, Ariel was embarrassed.
"Guys, this is not the time." He said.
"You're right." Said Hortenzia. "Lo siento. I just hope you're better than your father in that respect. Although it shouldn't be difficult for you, I mean look at her! She's a very beautiful girl."
Jose and Hortenzia loved Cassandra, and even more so when they tasted her food. Cassandra made several of the dishes eaten that night to help her mother and grandmothers, one of which was Cuban Quesadillas, also one of her favorites.
"This is good, did you make this?" Hortenzia asked Cassandra. "It's so delicious!"
"This one's a keeper, son." Said Jose. "Grab on and don't let go!"
"You're just like an angel, Cassandra. Muchas gracias for making our son so happy." Said Hortenzia.
After dinner, everyone talked for a while before the grandmothers offered dessert.
"Before you bring out the desserts, there's something I'd like to ask Cassandra." Said Ariel.
Ariel walked to where Cassandra was sitting, and presented her with a diamond ring!
"Will you marry me?" He asked her.
"Si! Of course!" Said Cassandra with joy in her voice. And at that, he put the ring on her finger before kissing her as the family cheered. Now there was going to be a wedding!
In preparation for the wedding, the couple brought their savings together to purchase a villa in Little Havana. It was a beautiful mansion, one they could afford because of their lucrative earnings.

They agreed that it was perfect for them, as they had no intentions of leaving Little Havana! It was a beautiful home with a Spanish/Latin feel, the master bedroom where they would sleep, had a beautiful ensuite with a spa bath and it was convenient too, as it was close to everything like the grocery stores and bustling areas, and they could visit family and vice versa whenever they wanted to.
They moved their belongings into the home, and furnished it, ensuring the home would be ready for them upon their return from their honeymoon.
