- Hi, my name is Jai.
I'm from Phoenix, Arizona, but I was born in Korea.
I never really had anybody that I really
looked towards for relationships.
Oh, Full House.
Full House showed me good relationships,
and Family Matters.
And then Step by Step.
TGI Friday was really why I turned out.
- Hello, my name's Kendall Moore.
I'm from Pasadena, California, born and raised there.
I come from a single mother, I'm an only child.
I've been married previously,
and it was kind of hard for me to
understand where things went wrong.
- Wet met online.
I lived in Arizona, he lived in California.
I was about to take my profile down,
had my clicker over the deactivate your account link,
and a little email popped up,
and it turned out to be Kendall.
- You have all these potential people
that you would wanna meet,
and I saw her picture at the top,
but I had already clicked on somebody else.
- How dare you?
- Go back and kinda search again
and hope that that picture came up.
- I was like, all right, well,
let's give this guy a chance,
and then a week after we started talking,
we met in person.
I pulled up to the hotel where you were staying,
and I could see him walking down the stairs,
and I was like, oh, he's real.
- After we met in person, we just
didn't wanna be apart again.
- The week after, I came to California,
met him and his mom.
A month later, Christmas Day rolls around and
he called me.
He was like, "I wish I could see you,"
and I was like, "Okay."
Got in the car, packed my stuff,
and moved to Pasadena.
And that was it.
I didn't think about it, I just did it.
(laughing)
- I think getting married was kind of like
on a whim too. - Yes, definitely a whim.
- We didn't really think it was necessary.
- I didn't really think I would ever get married.
I was like, let's just be together,
it just seems complicated.
- And then we're like, oh, well,
if you're not married before--
- Yeah, it was because of taxes.
It was for taxes.
We were like, oh, we're gonna get more money
if we just get married.
It all happened in seven weeks.
We met, moved, got married.
We took whirlwind and made it like hurricane tornado.
Like, whirlwind romance.
It was just whoosh, and then we're done.
I think that there was an air of, like,
this is the most perfect relationship on Earth
when we first met.
We were on a high, and then we got married
and real life happened,
and then we had to come down to reality a little bit.
It was a struggle.
He's very shy, which annoys me because I'm like,
why do you care so much what people think?
And then he's like, why don't you care
what anyone thinks?
(laughing)
- Like, in public she would be very outspoken,
or dance around a little bit,
or twirl here and there in line.
- I can't be anyone else but me, okay?
And so I dance in public, maybe a little.
I had spent two years without
dating anybody at all.
It was always just me, myself.
This is what I do and the consequences are my own.
And then it got into this environment where
we got married, so everything all of a sudden was together.
- We've questioned whether or not
we made the correct decision,
whether or not we knew enough about each other
before we decided to get married,
and then did we really get married for love,
or was it really just for taxes,
or just maybe to help convince ourselves
that we would make it,
even though we weren't really that sure.
- We got into a big fight.
He wasn't expressing to me
how he really felt about things,
and it came out very passive aggressively,
which I really did not like.
And I just got to the point where I was like,
if you can't tell me how you feel about things,
if you can't be honest and we can't get along,
then I'm not gonna do this anymore.
So I left.
- We were prepared for things to not be perfect,
but at the same time, I think we were
actually pretty disappointed that they weren't.
- Apparently, life is not a movie.
- Yes.
We are in love.
- Head over heels in love.
He's my number one forever.
- Love of my life.
She's all I look forward to when I am at work,
when I wanna come home.
My life would not be the same without her in it.
- We just did everything backwards.
We got married first and then figured everything else out,
and it worked out.
- So I have something from our past,
and it's the poem.
- Oh, it's the poem. - Can you read the first?
- It's called "For This Love."
"May our love always shine as bright as the first day.
"May this love last into eternity's eternity.
"May our hearts beat as one until both are still,
"and may our days be filled with joy and happiness."
I love you, Kendall, you're the light of my life.
(laughing)
Sometimes it starts out with a little arm swing,
and then when he's least expecting it.
(laughing)
- Out of nowhere.
