Wedding Distraction

After the scandal was revealed, Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist sped up the “I do’s” by announcing their wedding.

Some believe this was a “Hail Mary” or a last-ditch attempt to redeem Gerry’s reputation after the tarnishing information was leaked. Seemingly, Theresa was forgiving of the matter and they were sailing forward with their “forever” in focus. While she said she forgave his dishonesty, it still tainted the way she viewed their relationship from that point forward. But the deal was underway and they were quickly approaching the alter.

When The Golden Wedding aired, it was a perfect opportunity for Bachelor Nation publicity. However, it was filled with pageantry, pomp, and circumstance. Former Bachelor Nation alums filled the guest list and they rolled out a golden carpet for the spectacular event. Packed with people and an on-screen party, some people think it lacked the personal feel of the couple and served more as a diversion from the scandal than anything else.
