The Golden Wedding is right around the corner. The happy couple is spending their final days of engagement by sitting down for interviews with every entertainment outlet you can imagine. The topic of conversation this time around? The Golden Bachelor’s kids – and those of his wife-to-be.
Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist will make Bachelor Nation history by becoming the first Golden Bachelor couple to walk down the aisle. During a recent panel with the show’s producers, they shared that the production team dove into wedding planning just hours after the final rose ceremony.
Now, in a new interview with People, the couple has changed their tune a little bit. They clarified that the wedding planning hasn’t been 100% set up by production. Allegedly, Theresa’s daughter has been helping, and they’re all pushing for this spectacular wedding to be a family affair.

Theresa has a daughter named Jen, a son, and six grandkids. Gerry also has two kids and two grandkids. According to the couple, there’s a spot for every single one of them in their wedding party.
“They’re all involved,” Gerry shared. “There’s a spot for every family member in the wedding party … We wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Their kids involvement doesn’t stop there. Theresa said her daughter has been helping plan out all of the wedding details. The bride-to-be called her daughter a “lifesaver” for her role in planning. After all, they only had a few months between the engagement and the wedding.
Theresa explained, “There’s so many decisions that had to be made, and in some instances, she would get the vision board together for me or she would get ideas of dresses and veils and rings.”
Meanwhile, Gerry said he’s just happy to have someone willing to help. He said he hears joy in Jen’s voice when she talks about the wedding, which is just the icing on the cake. He added, “It makes me so happy that she’s having this much of a good time with it. It’s like, what could be more fun?”
Oddly enough, the Golden Wedding falls on the same day as Jen’s birthday. So, they’re going to have two reasons to celebrate. According to Theresa, Jen’s excited to share her special day with the happy couple.
“It’s the biggest gift for her,” Theresa said. “She fell in love with Gerry.”
The Golden Wedding airs Thursday, January 4 on ABC at 8/7c.
