"It was an extraordinary thing. You met, and then you (Emily) were immediately diagnosed with a very serious condition and you (Kumail) obviously stood by her. Were you planning to get married before the coma happened?" questioned Christiane, referencing Emily's eight-day medically induced coma after which the two got married.
Turns out, they hadn't planned it the way it panned out! "I went into the hospital with a very casual boyfriend," exclaimed Emily, with Kumail chiming in how two months after the coma they were married.
"No, we had not really talked about anything serious, but I do remember thinking, you know... I'm getting emotional," said Kumail, almost tearing up as he recalled that time in their lives.

"I was like, if she comes out of this, we're going to get married. I remember thinking that," he continued, almost making his wife cry as well - she could barely hold her emotions back.
Talk about a marriage for ages!
