– During a recent Highspots Sign It Live event, former WWE Superstar Mia Yim discussed her wedding to Keith Lee, Mick Foley officiating the ceremony, and taking a break from wrestling. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Mia Yim on Mick Foley officiating her wedding: “Mick Foley was our officiant which was really cool. When Keith and I got engaged and we posted the picture up [on Twitter]. He commented, ‘hey, if you ever need an officiant, like, let me know.’ So I DMed him, I was like, ‘hey, were you serious or were you just, were you just saying that?’ He was like, ‘no, no. For you guys, yeah definitely. Let me know, I’ll do it.’ He is the goodest of good souls. Like, I love Mick so much. He’s the best.”

On her wedding day: “My main focus was, I just wanted to marry Keith and eat the cake, and that’s all I wanted. It was a lavender cake; orange-scented, with white chocolate filling. Immaculate. It was delicious. And so Chris [Riddle] was there and it went better than I expected because, so we had a Disney wedding and, and the communication because COVID wasn’t really all there, but they came through like the final week of the wedding. So we had like, Mickie and Minnie was there. We got the, hell yeah we did. Mickie’s my favorite. And then we got the Cinderella’s carriage.”

On taking a break from wrestling: “I had to take a break. I know my 90 days was up in February, but I had to take a break and not take bookings until March because I got married in February and then a week-and-a-half later, we were moving halfway across the country and I’m like, ‘if Keith is going to be doing the traveling, I might as well be the one at home getting everything together.”

Yim and Lee were married last month. They were both released by WWE last November.
