Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner say I DO on TV

Theresa Nist is Mrs. Turner now!

She married the first Golden Bachelor, Gerry Turner, during a live television wedding on ABC on Thursday night.

During their wedding in Palm Springs, California, the New Jersey grandmother looked stunning in a Badgley Mishka gown.

The 70-year-old walked down the aisle in the off-the-shoulder mermaid gown as her son, Tommy, walked her down the aisle, during the Golden Wedding special.

Nist’s amazing wedding look also consisted of a plunging neckline and tulle train. For her special day, the bride wore her hair down in loose curls underneath her long veil.

Turner, 72, for his part, looked handsome in a black tuxedo.

The new bride’s amazing wedding dress comes after the shimmering sequined outfit she wore while celebrating the couple’s rehearsal dinner on Wednesday night.

Nist looked chic in a silver-and-gold sleeveless dress by Mac Duggal and added a pink fur wrap to fight the evening chill. Theresa matched her dress with coordinating gold pumps with ankle straps.

Talking about the ring, it was a 3.15-carat sparkler that features a princess-cut center stone “accented with two baguette cut diamonds, and further set with 128 small, round brilliant cut diamonds,”

Lane who handcrafted and hand-signed the piece said that it was a very special piece that was better than other rings he’s ever created for the franchise.

He told People,

“I think maybe we were losing the significance of a ring for a while, and now we have two people that really… that significance of the ring, even though it’s a small little jewel, it embodies their affection, their future, their lives together,”

“It’s more profound in a way… maybe it’s a different profoundness,”
