"Gerry and Theresa's 'Golden Wedding': From Reality TV Romance to Altar with Susan Noles Officiating"
Gerry Turner, a 72-year-old widower from Indiana, proposed to Theresa Nist, a 70-year-old financial adviser from New Jersey, in the finale of the reality dating show "The Golden Bachelor." The show featured senior contestants seeking love after the loss of their spouses. Despite drama with other contestants and a controversy regarding Gerry's past, the couple is set to marry in a live two-hour special called "The Golden Wedding" in Palm Springs, California. The wedding will be attended by fellow contestants, including popular contestant Susan Noles who will officiate. The honeymoon will be a trip to Italy, which the couple discussed on their first date, but it will not be televised.
