The journalist presumably didn't have time to hang around for the next 5 years to see how it will work out.

Well, married may be a bit far out...

What about just a week later so we know if they were even getting along in person? And how their expectations and understanding upon meeting each other changed?

There's a documentary, Seeking Asian Female, that charts a relationship like this over a longer period of time (although the bride is Chinese). You might be interested.
