Golden Bachelor Ladies Reunite For Fun Day

Kathy Swarts didn’t get very far in her quest to win Gerry Turner’s love on the first Golden Bachelor season. After butting heads with Theresa Nist, Kathy was sent home in Week 4. Gerry proposed to Theresa during the season finale, and they wed two months later in a televised ceremony.

Surprisingly, Kathy Swarts not only attended the Golden Wedding, she was one of the pre-show hosts. Despite their disagreement on the show, Kathy and Theresa buried the hatchet and became friends.

They both attended a recent get-together with other Golden Bachelor contestants. They joined Joan Vassos, Nancy Hulkower, Christina Kempton, and Susan Noles for a day out at a winery. Ladies only! Gerry Turner wasn’t invited to the mini-reunion.
