Ali Wentworth and George Stephanopoulos have been married for twenty-two years, since 2001, and though it has been two decades since their wedding, there are some things you just don't forget.
You particularly wouldn't forget a gift from, say, the iconic Barbara Walters, and Ali certainly remembers what the late journalist gifted the couple on their nuptials.
Speaking on The View – it was the 20/20 alum who founded the hit talk show and co-hosted with Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Joy Behar and Debbie Matenopoulos – the Ali's Well That Ends Well author looked back fondly on some of her favorite memories of Barbara.

After host Sara Haines asked her to tell a special story about the visionary journalist, Ali said: "Well, one of them was… she wanted me to be a host on this show, and I said to her, 'Oh I don't know Barbra, you know, I sort of say whatever comes to mind and I'll probably get into a lot of trouble.'"
She then joked: "She goes, 'Well sweetheart that's the point,' and I was like, well, I want to stay married."

The mom-of-two added: "We were trying to figure it out, and George ran into Barbara a few days later and he said [that] she said, 'Did you like the present?' He said, 'We did, [but] we didn't know what it was,' which she got very upset about."
