Noticed that Robert Irvine was marrying a woman named Gail Kim. I thought,“Isn’t there a wrestler with that name?” Broke my brain when I saw she was the bride-to-be! **Never** pegged Robert Irvine as a wrestling fan. ---

I’m not sure that implies he’s a fan. I’m not particularly interested in enterprise database products which is what my wife does. Though I just asked her (since she is, to my sadness, watching the show now). Apparently they met when an episode of Restaurant Impossible involved a professional wrestling event. If he’s indifferent to wrestling, he may just be a fan of someone he can spend 17 hours day in the gym with. ---

I didn’t pay all that much attention to this episode, but yes, she was a kitchen assistant on a Dinner Impossible episode involving a WWE event called Summerslam in 2009. Their eyes met while cutting up vegetables. Was it tears of joy or just the diced onions? ---

Nice little 15 minute show on the wedding and the planning. ---

Good luck to her- he seems like an unpleasant person. ---

Did you actually watch the show? Because they explained how they met. I agree with **Son of a Rich**. I actually like Robert a lot less after having seen and heard him on the Wedding: Impossible special. He seems like a controlling asshole instead of just a loud perfectionist that he seems like in the other shows. ---
