Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner and his fiancée Theresa Nist have just a few weeks to prepare for their wedding, but they have plenty of help.

“We have daughters who are so involved,” Theresa, 70, says in a joint interview with Gerry, 72. “My daughter has witnessed a million weddings and is fantastic. She has created the vision board. ‘Do you like this?’ she asks. ‘Do you like it?’ ‘Wow, okay, I don’t even have to do this,’ I think. This is fantastic.’ She’s mostly in control.”

Gerry gladly turned the keys over to Theresa and her daughter, Jen.

“I can just hear the joy in her voice when I talk to her, and she’s talking about whether it’s a dress or a cake or flowers or whatever it is,” he said. “It makes me so happy that she’s having so much fun with it.” What could be more enjoyable?”

So far, they’ve agreed on the majority of wedding-related decisions. “When she’s thinking out loud and I’m thinking out loud, they’re pretty much in harmony,” Gerry said. “I haven’t come across anything that wouldn’t work.” It’s going to be amazing.”

Gerry does have one input regarding the big day: “He did tell me that he wants a blue suit,” Theresa explains.

Thersea has a concept of how she wants her gown and veil to appear, as well as ideas for “the look of the cake. ” She chose flower colors and wants a lot of them “because my daughter and I are both gardeners,” Theresa explains. “I have abundant roses and gardens.”

For the reception, the couple wants large tables with a covered ceiling. “And originally our idea was to have these cypress trees like you see in Italy, but it’s not going to happen at this location,” she says. “But it’s just as spectacular; what is going to happen?”

They haven’t settled on first dance music yet, but “we’re suggesting a certain band,” according to Theresa. “I won’t say who it is because I’m not sure if we’ll get it.” But I’d want to see a choreographed dance.”

Gerry has asked his sons-in-law to be his best men, and Theresa’s daughter has agreed to be her maid of honor.

“She’s overjoyed!” exclaims the financial services specialist. “All six of my grandsons will be involved, and we want Henry to be the ring bearer.” And my sisters will serve as flower girls, something they are unaware of. They’re more mature. That should make them very happy.”

Gerry and Theresa intend to spend their honeymoon in Italy, courtesy of a trip offered to them by ABC during Thursday’s After the Final Rose event. “It’s at the top of her list, and it’s become the top of mine,” adds the retired restaurateur.

Gerry wants Theresa to take the lead on holiday planning as well.

“Theresa’s a really good planner,” he extols. “So when it comes to vacations, this is one thing I’m looking forward to: we’ll agree on a budget, she can plan, and I just show up the first day.”

Theresa is excited to see where her life with Gerry will take her.

“I would say finding a home together and creating that home that everyone would want to come to—our entire family, our friends—and just exploring life together and having adventures, going on vacation together, and having a fun, incredible, wonderful life,” she said. “We feel like we’re going to have the best lives ever.”
