Carey, who has worked his way up through the celebrity ranks since retiring from the Marines more than two decades ago, has been getting overwhelmingly positive reviews after taking Bob Barker's post on the Price is Right and the show, despite being a dinosaur in television years, has managed to climb in ratings. Now, with his post as host locked down, fans ask: ?Will Drew Carey and Nicole Jaracz finally tie the knot this summer??

Carey, who is deemed overweight and obese by some critic circles, has managed to fend off the societal stigma against fat people while at the same time gaining a reputation for his ability to mow through giant dinner portions. That insatiable appetite may meet its match with his bride-to-be. Jaracz has said, ?the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.? Coincidently, she is a trained and practiced chef who recently graduated from culinary school. Friends close to the couple have said the young cook thinks Carey is a dream come true and she finds him irresistibly handsome. She has long thought that fat is beautiful.

There has been much speculation on the two lovebirds and their unreleased wedding plans, as 50-year-old Carey, who has worked in both movies and television, grows in fame. One thing is for certain, say insiders, the food served at the reception will be ?out of this world? and the cake will be ?unbelievably good.? In a statement regarding the engagement, publicist Christina Papadopoulos wrote, ?It will be the first marriage for both. No date for a wedding has been set yet. They are both very happy and excited about their future together.?
