Pink smoke said it's a girl and then he dropped to one knee: a Cuban dad turned a gender reveal into a double surprise

A Cuban couple in the US threw a party to learn if their baby is a boy or a girl. It's a girl. Then he asked her to marry him in front of everyone.

Most gender reveal parties have exactly one big moment. You wait for the color, you scream and you go eat. One Cuban family in the United States just raised the bar for everybody.

The couple invited family and friends to a ranch and pool venue to find out if their baby is a boy or a girl. The answer came out pink. It's a girl. Cheers filled the party and the mom-to-be was still taking it in when her partner had one more announcement.

He got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

One party with two reasons to cry

The dad shared the whole thing in a video that took off almost right away. In its first few hours it piled up more than 87,000 views and around 10,000 likes. A second clip from the same party pulled in tens of thousands more.

He set it to a sweet romantic song with a lyric that fits the day perfectly. It goes something like this. I don't know if I found you or if you found me. I can only be grateful.

This little girl will not be his first. He is already dad to a daughter named Valeria. Now Valeria is getting a baby sister and a new chapter for the whole family.

A Cuban tradition in the making

It turns out this is becoming a bit of a trend. Cuban couples across the country have used baby showers and reveal parties as the setup for a proposal more than once. One dad popped the question at his girlfriend's baby shower this summer. Another knelt for his partner when she was pregnant with twins.

Viewers loved that the couple found a way to make one day about two kinds of love at once. The bride-to-be will never forget the date. Neither will the family photographer.

Somewhere there is a wedding planner and a pink nursery waiting. Congratulations to the happy couple and to their baby girl.
