Newlyweds Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist, known for their appearance on the popular reality TV show 'Golden Bachelor,' are embracing married life with enthusiasm. Following their televised wedding on January 4th, the couple has been sharing glimpses of their post-wedding adventures, including a recent trip to a New Jersey diner.
Theresa Nist, 70, took to Instagram to document their visit to a local diner, paying tribute to their first date on the ABC series. The photos featured Gerry Turner, 72, enjoying classic diner fare such as eggs, bacon, and pancakes. The couple posed in front of the diner and even took selfies inside the restaurant, capturing their joyful moments.
Nist's Instagram post highlights the significance of diners in their relationship, as she writes, 'A diner date is part of our story… so, I had to bring Gerry to a New Jersey diner. (we are kinda famous for them here!). Eggs, bacon, and pancakes (for him), a spinach, feta cheese omelet, and a fruit cup for me..so much fun meeting new and old friends!'
Turner also shared some photos from their diner outing on his Instagram. Among the images were the same shots taken by Nist, as well as a couple of selfies capturing the couple braving the cold weather outside the eatery. In his caption, Turner humorously mentions, 'Out of 530 diners in New Jersey, Theresa took me to one of the best. With only 529 more to go, I'll be busy through June of 2025.'
Their love story began during their on-screen date on 'Golden Bachelor,' where they enjoyed a memorable dinner coupled with an unexpected flash mob performance to Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing.' Their relationship blossomed throughout the show, leading to Turner's proposal on the season finale aired on November 30th. The couple later revealed their dream-come-true plans to have their wedding televised on ABC.
Reflecting on their decision to tie the knot, Turner explained, 'When you're in your 20s and you put something off for a year, it's a very small percentage of your life... In your 70s, the clock ticks faster. And I'm 100% certain I found the right girl for me. So it's like, why not?' Nist concurred, saying, 'I met the man of my dreams. It wasn't our original timeline, but to be presented with the wedding of our dreams? Spectacular, incredible, wow!'
Following their wedding, officiated by 'Golden Bachelor' fan favorite Susan Noles at the La Quinta Resort and Club in La Quinta, California, Turner and Nist expressed their excitement about blending their families and embarking on this new chapter of their lives. The couple looks forward to creating a loving home where their family and friends can gather, going on adventures, and enjoying a fulfilling and joyful life together.
The heartwarming story of Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist continues to inspire both fans of 'Golden Bachelor' and new followers alike. With their commitment to embracing life and love at any stage, they serve as a reminder that it's never too late to find happiness and celebrate shared moments.
