These two lovebirds tied the knot in a beautiful wedding ceremony that aired on ABC on Thursday, January 4. It was a moment that brought joy to so many, and it was everything you'd hope for in a fairy-tale ending.
Love in Full Bloom
Theresa, 72, and Gerry, 70, were nothing short of radiant as they exchanged vows in front of their family, friends, and fans. Their special day was filled with laughter, tears, and all the feels. The couple's wedding was attended by their fellow Golden Bachelor cast members, adding a touch of reality TV charm to the occasion. It was truly a celebration of love, and it was impossible not to be swept up in the magic.
A Rush of Love and Logistics
You might be wondering, how did they pull this off so quickly? Well, the wedding happened just weeks after their engagement aired on the Golden Bachelor finale in November 2023. Gerry proposed to Theresa in a heartfelt moment, leaving Leslie Fhima, the runner-up, heartbroken but still supportive enough to attend the wedding. Talk about class! Gerry’s proposal was nothing short of poetic, as he admitted to having mixed feelings before realizing that Theresa was the one he couldn’t live without. He asked her, “Will you marry me?” and the rest, as they say, is history.

Love Lessons from the Past
Gerry and Theresa have both been through the ups and downs of love before. They were previously married to their high school sweethearts, Toni Turner and William “Bill” Nist, who both passed away, leaving them widowed. With over 40 years of marriage experience under their belts, they know a thing or two about what makes a relationship last. In a recent interview, Gerry emphasized the importance of communication. “Even if it’s uncomfortable, you’ve got to talk it out,” he said. “Find a way to resolve issues and keep the lines of communication open.”
Theresa echoed his sentiments, adding, “Never hold resentments because they only grow bigger over time. Always talk to each other directly, not through others. You’re on the same team, no matter what the issue is. Communication is key, and it’s what keeps the love alive.”
Blending Families with Grace
Gerry and Theresa each have two children from their first marriages. Gerry also has two granddaughters, while Theresa boasts six grandsons. Despite their busy family lives, they managed to celebrate Christmas separately with their respective families and reunited for New Year’s Eve ahead of their big day. They were quick to point out that blending their families hasn’t been a challenge, thanks to their kids getting along like a house on fire. “Our kids couldn’t be happier for us,” they shared. “It’s been such a smooth transition, and we’re so grateful for that.”
So there you have it, folks. Gerry and Theresa’s love story is a testament to the fact that love knows no age and that it’s never too late to find happiness. Their journey from the Golden Bachelor to married life is nothing short of inspiring. Here's to many more years of love, laughter, and life together for these two amazing people!
