They got along okay regardless that they didn't have any mutual friends. One weekend came along and he asked her to hang out by finding her number from the recall work roster. Things went well that weekend at the beach and they soon started hanging and working out together all the time.

After many years and trials of adversity in their relationship, they are finally able to move forward with their dream of being legally bound together, by love and law, for survival.
