Will you marry me? A virtual romantic proposal

Amigo Live’s family reunions, story of the week
By Francisco Rendon

Nervousness and excitement were the feelings Norma Judith Perez was experiencing the day she was going to meet her boyfriend of 5 years, Aurelio Ixcot. But this time it was not one of the regular dates they used to go on in her native town of Quetzaltenango in Guatemala: the usual walk in the park in the afternoon or going to a party. After two years of being physically apart, Aurelio in Trenton New Jersey and Norma in Guatemala, and only keeping in touch via the telephone; today they were having a virtual date, face-to-face, thanks to the video conferencing services of AmigoLatino. During their highly emotional virtual conversation, both cried and laughed, and then at the end of their hour-long meeting, Aurelio took Norma by surprise by popping the big question, if she would agree to marry him? Although shocked, Norma took a couple of seconds to breath and then, to Aurelio’s relief, immediately cried out YES!!!!!!

Here are some of their comments about their experience connecting through Amigo Live, AmigoLatino’s affordable video conferencing service:

Q: How long was it been since you last saw each other?
A: It has been a little over 2 years that we have been apart, ever since I left Guatemala to come to the USA to work

Q: What did you to keep in touch during this time?
A: We talked over the phone on a weekly basis only (sometimes more)

Q: What were the emotions you were going through before your Amigo Live video conference today?
A: A lot of emotion including nervousness, excitement and happiness that I was going to finally see my girlfriend again

Q: Would you recommend the Amigo Live service to others?
Definitely!!!! It is worth every penny and it’s the best way to keep in touch with the ones you love the most. This service beats phone calls because I get to see her and talk to her at the same time. I will be returning every month now.

This meeting via Amigo Live took place between the Trenton, New Jersey office of Comunicaciones y Envios and AmigoLatino’s office in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. For more information visit us at www.amigolatino.com
