A wrestling company treated a Michigan couple to a professional wrestling event after they were robbed on their wedding day.

MLive reports that Kip and Kyren Orfield planned to attend a show by U.K.-based Progress Wrestling after their wedding ceremony in Pontiac on Sunday, Aug. 12.

But the couple discovered that same day that someone had stolen $1,600 from them, as well as their tickets to the wrestling event.

Friends and family reached out to the company to inform them of the stolen tickets and see if any other tickets were available.

Event officials invited the couple to the show in Livonia, where they were able to meet several professional wrestlers.

Kip Orfield says the wrestling community has been very supportive.

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office is investigating the theft.
