They told Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest about their whirlwind romance, comprising of a blind date, followed by an engagement two months later, and then a wedding six months after that.

The Good Morning America host and his comedian wife then started talking about their daughters, Elliott, 19, and Harper, 16, and how they benefited the most from Valentine's Day, receiving roses and candy from their father and pajamas from their mom.

Kelly then excitedly posed the question: "A guy meets Elliott at school, and two months later says 'I'm in love with your daughter, I want to marry her'."

George and Ali talked about their relationship and family on LIVE!

"Now?!" George incredulously asked, to which Kelly responded: "Now. At the Jefferson Hotel. What say you," referencing the place where the GMA star asked his wife's father for her hand in marriage.

"I would say no," Ali instantly replied, continuing: "I've told Elliott and Harper, I was 36 when I got married. You don't buy the first car you see, you test drive a few cars first. I would definitely say no."

The two then hilariously concluded that due to their age, it was easier for them to make the decision, but they wouldn't want the same for their daughters.

George and Ali also played the Newlywed Game on the show, which they did lose. But Ali shared an adorable snapshot of the couple from the studio that showed they were just as much in love regardless.
