‘The Golden Bachelor’ Wedding: What Did You Think of the Live Nuptials?
It was an all-star ‘Bachelor Nation’ event on Thursday night’s The Golden Wedding, when The Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner tied the knot with his final rose contestant and now wife, Theresa Nist.
Before the ceremony began, there was an hour red carpet, of sorts, wedding event, where various ‘Bachelor’, ‘Golden Bachelor’ and ‘Bachelorette’ favorites were milling about.
In addition, host Jesse Palmer revealed that his wife is at home expecting their child at any moment and it could happen while he is live at the nuptials!

ABC’s The Golden Bachelor was a rating success through its entire season, showing that you can find love a second time and in the latter years of life. It offered many heart-tugging moments between Gerry and the women vying for his heart.
The payoff all culminated with the live ‘Golden Wedding’. Fan favorite, Susan served as the officiant while mouthy Kathy Swartz from the season worked the room as a correspondent. Even Leslie, who was most hurt by Gerry picking Theresa over her, showed up to wish all good things on the happy couple.
Gerry and Theresa’s children and grandchildren were in the wedding party, and the vows were emotional and touching and at times, a bit clumsy, but that’s what made it feel so real, against the backdrop of reality television.
Inside the two-hour wedding special, there were two other ‘Bachelor Nation’ bombshells … Brayden proposed to Christina, and Charity Lawson and her man, Dotun revealed they plan to get hitched in the fall of 2025.

After the “I do’s”, Theresa threw the bouquet, which came a part into multiple ladies hands, Gerry addressed the attendees, and then in the reception that followed, ‘Bachelor’ alum Ben Higgins took to the dance floor with a stunning array of ‘Bachelor Nation’ alums to get the party started.
Gerry and Theresa’s love story gave hope to millions at home that you can find love again, and that you’re never too old to find someone to share the rest of your life with.
What did you think about The Golden Wedding? Comment below.
I loved every minute of it. I was very impressed with the friendships that the women formed and seeing the families join together. I loved that Brayden asked for Gerry and Theresa’s blessing before his proposal. I would love to see Susan as the next bachelorette, she’s awesome.
Can’t stand Susan, she too full of herself.
Didn’t like Kathy. You know what she is going to say before she opens her mouth.
Didn’t watch it. Besides her gown should have been gold, not that thing she wore.
The dress and veil were pretty but too youthful. For her, looks ridiculous for a 70 year old to be wearing a white mermaid dress and long veil. She should have worn something more mature, classy and simple. Also, her hair and makeup were a mess. Didn’t like the way Susan officiated,certainly didn’t like all the boudoir scenes and stripper grinding beforehand either. Would not watch again. overall I’d give it a 5 out of 10.
I thought the gown and veil were too young looking for her age, she needed a new hair do and the necklace she wore looked like Walmart….She is not a first time bride and not in her 20’s.
I agree, I felt her dress was too young for her age. Even though she had the figure for it I think something more age appropriate would have been classier! Since it was a second marriage I expected a gown with gold in it and would have been a nice touch for the “Golden Wedding” for the “Golden Bachelor!”
I agree. That necklace didn’t look real and way overpowered the dress! I agree she should have worn something much more simple! That was like she was 25 ! She should have just worn something to her knee! Where was her makeup and her face looks so oily! I don’t get it. I think her hair up and a dress to her knee would have been perfect! She wore white gold. WHERE WAS THE GOLD ??? Someone explain
Who cares, she’s 70 and feels wonderful and excited. What’s it to you. Why are you so bitter, be happy for her!
Don’t watch again, did you have to write it to make yourself feel better because you watched it the first time.
She’s a hot mess!
Dress should have been more suitable for her age. Hair should have been up. Maybe a shorter veil would look nicer. Whole ceremony too cheesy and not very serious. Kathy was way overboard with most interviews. Should have just had Charity.
I got dragged into watching some of it because I was at some friends’ house and they really wanted to see it (but tellingly, even they had had enough after 45 minutes or so and changed the channel; we didn’t even come close to making it to the actual wedding, so maybe that was better than the lead-up). It was even worse than I imagined: most of it felt very forced and “for the camera,” and very little of it felt real and sincere; some of the scenes had me cringing because of how awkward and contrived they were (especially the ones with the little kids, who I think were their grandchildren). Nearly everyone involved came off as a publicity whore, in the worst way, whether that’s the actual reality or not.
I hope for their sakes that behind the cameras, there’s actual love and commitment and affection as they start their new lives together. I had the sense that the real people behind the on-screen ones might be worth rooting for, and if so, I wish them well.
I found it funny he had to read what he felt! If you feel it you should not have to read it! And still screw it up!!
Did you ever consider he may be nervous with speaking in that situation. He possibly just didn’t want to forget to say something to her or maybe has some memory issues.
Give the guy a break.
How many people get married on television, at age 70, and your complaining about reading from a piece of paper.
Get real!!
It was wonderful
Anyway you bring Steve back I’m sure will be a hit!!!
As far as Jac goes he went too far and doesn’t deserve to return to GH…never burn your bridges…
B and B needs an intriguing store line or two! Drinking and sex can only be enjoyed in moderation. Steffy and Finn/ Thomas and Hope are like rabbits…
Golden Bachelor was way over top…I would like to see how you went about finding so many people as fit, in good health, active as all these seniors are…
I had to turn the wedding off in the middle the program. Kathy and Charity were awful. Sorry ladies!
Agree, Charity just seems so fake to me…never like her, her facial expressions and laugh
Kathy didn’t like either, on show she was terrible and at wedding, she appeared drunk or on drugs.
They allowed the other women of the show to get too much attention, especially Susan who married them. It took the focus off Gary and Theresa. The dress was overwhelming, too young. Glad they got married on TV, hope they are happy.
I loved the wedding.
If I’d be so lucky to find that love again at my “Golden,” age, I would absolutely want Susan to Officiate.
I would love too have my special person with me during my next phase of life. It’s never to late to find LOVE! ❤️
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
