"Top Chef," produced by the Bravo television network, pits top chefs against each other. A panel of celebrity chefs -- such as Tom Colicchio -- then judges the food productions.

Colicchio was unable to attend the ceremony, but Dieterle spoke to him about the wedding.

"He just wished me good luck and had some advice," Dieterle told the magazine.

The couple traveled to Italy for their honeymoon.
