Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s Unforgettable ‘Blended Family’ Christmas Celebration

Gerry and Theresa had previously informed PEOPLE about how their daughters will be participating in their wedding, which is going to be broadcasted on television in January.

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist are celebrating the holiday season by dressing up their families in matching Christmas sweaters. The engaged couple, who made history on the Golden Bachelor by becoming the first couple to get engaged on the show, shared a photo on Instagram of their blended family wearing red sweaters that read “A Very Gerry Christmas”. The post also revealed that the couple plans to televise their wedding on January 4 at the After the Final Rose special.

Gerry Turner and his new fiancée, Theresa, have chosen to tie the knot in January, as they believe that time flies faster in their 70s. In a recent exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the couple expressed their gratitude for their daughters’ involvement in the wedding planning process. Theresa’s daughter, who has witnessed numerous weddings, has created a vision board and is taking care of most of the preparations. Gerry, on the other hand, is thrilled to let his bride-to-be and her daughter take the lead. He is delighted to hear the excitement in her voice when she talks about dresses, cakes, flowers, and other details and finds it extremely enjoyable.

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist are preparing for their upcoming wedding in Charleston, which they believe was meant to be. Gerry has chosen his sons-in-law to be his best men, while Theresa’s daughter will be her maid of honor. Even the grandsons will be involved, with little Henry as the ring bearer and Theresa’s older sisters as flower girls. The couple is excited to create a welcoming home for their blended family and to share adventures together. They feel that they are going to have the best lives ever and cannot wait to start this new chapter together. Stay updated on their love story by signing up for PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter.
