"The Golden Bachelor" star Gerry Turner and fiancée Theresa Nist tied the knot less than a month after finding true love on the hit reality show.
During the ABC series' "After the Final Rose" special Nov. 30, the 72-year-old retired restaurateur and the 70-year-old financial services professional announced they planned to marry in a live, televised ceremony Jan. 4.
"We're going to do it as quickly as we can because, at our age, we don't have a lot of time to waste," Turner said. "As quickly as we can put together a wedding plan, we’re getting married."
Turner and Nist tied the knot at the La Quinta Resort & Club, with their friends, family and other members of the Bachelor Nation family.

Nist was walked down the aisle by her son Tommy, wearing a Badgley Mischka gown and carrying a bouquet of white roses. Her daughter, Jen, and Turner's daughters, Jenny and Angie, were all bridesmaids. Turner's son-in-law, Rob, acted as his best man, while Nist's son-in-law, Matt, was a groomsman.
"Golden Bachelor" alum Susan Noles served as the officiant for the couple, delivering fun and heartfelt remarks before completing the ceremony.
