The 72-year-old retired restaurateur and 70-year-old Theresa exchanged vows at the exclusive La Quinta Resort and Club in La Quinta, California, surrounded by their family, friends, and former castmates. The bride looked stunning in a white lace gown, while the groom wore a navy suit and a pink tie. The ceremony was officiated by a close friend of Gerry, who praised the couple for their "genuine, honest, and passionate" relationship.
The Golden Bachelor concluded on November 30 with Gerry choosing Theresa over runner-up Leslie Fhima, 64, a fitness instructor from Minnesota. Gerry proposed to Theresa with a 3-carat diamond ring, saying that she was "the best thing that ever happened" to him. Theresa accepted, saying that she felt "blessed and lucky" to have found Gerry.
The wedding was hosted by Jesse Palmer, 45, the former NFL quarterback and Bachelor star, who also hosted The Golden Bachelor. Palmer told viewers at the start of the show that his pregnant wife Emely was due to deliver their first child together at any moment, and joked that he might have to leave the wedding early.

The wedding was watched by millions of viewers, who took to social media to congratulate the happy couple and comment on the romantic event. Many fans praised The Golden Bachelor for showcasing that love can happen at any age, and hoped for more seasons of the spin-off series. Some also speculated on the fate of the other contestants, and wondered if they would find their own happy endings.
