This is one of the most beautiful wedding ceremonies I've ever seen. Yes, there were commercial breaks, but I think the main event easily supersedes.

People in formal attire. Stringed instruments in accompaniment. Cocktails at white-cloth-topped tables. Beautiful serene setting. Such a spectacle!

Aging happens....if one is lucky. Denigrating it isn't an attractive trait at any age. I thought Theresa looked absolutely fabulous in that white outfit that showed off her amazing legs.

MAJOR FAUX PAS to propose or announce a pregnancy at another's wedding. Really bad form, ABC.

What's so "sad" about this wedding? And as for its being a "spectacle," as one who got married in a courthouse, I think many "normal" weddings might qualify. It is no secret that Reality TV pays all its participants. It's become a career path. I have a feeling Jesse and his wife probably have agreed on his whereabouts. "Bread and circuses"? Um, TV isn't a new invention. I DO have one criticism: NO WAY should Treesa be decked out like a never-been-married bride!

I hope Cameron finds himself a lovely Kiwi cyclist!

Both Becca and Austin sound ignorant of the religions being discussed.

I think what we see will be a real marriage ceremony. They each could have continued dating on their own without this show. This isn't "MAFS: Australia," and Gerry and Theresa aren't whatever generation is in their 20s now. Catholic Treesa isn't going to merely, as we used to say, shack up with Gerry, nope, not having included her entire family in this televised venture. They will marry. They will honeymoon in fabulous Italy. They will move to and establish a home in SC. They (and families) will be filmed. They have tasted ABC's bread, and will want to keep it buttered. In short, Gerry and Theresa Turner will (aim to) become our Golden Ryan and Trista Sutter. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/golden-bachelor-gerry-turner-theresa-nist-share-wedding-details-admit-fantasy-suite-everything

Would you call a McDonald's franchise owner "a fry cook mostly of a greasy spoon" (a term usually referring to a diner, anyway)? And if Gerry were a fry cook, or later a janitor, is there some unworthiness attached to these jobs? I get the "lies" accusations, but there seems also to be an implied denigration here. In any case, here is what seems to be the reality of Gerry’s varied career history.

There is no joy in Denver; the Mighty Casey "Experts" have struck out.

I can't really read anything now.

Where might one see this wedding playlist?

One wonders if anything is discussed! Or at least considered seriously by the Triumvirate! Dog-dislikers paired with dog-owners. Physical preferences ignored totally. Brides expected to live in buses and basements. Financial security needs married to jobless. Etc.

Add me to the list of lucky visitors to the Italian (and French and Monagasque) Riviera! In fact, I'm sitting in my Family Room under a framed poster of Portofino, next to one of our photos of the Cinque Terre. Good times!

https://hollywoodontheitalianriviera.com/category/santa-margherita/ In a real sense, you had so stepped!

I have watched every episode, read every post in these threads. Yet for the life of me, I still cannot bring readily to my mind's eye either Emily and Brennan, or *re-reads above posts to get the right paired names* Becca and Austin, such is how much the wives and husbands, respectively, look alike to me. 🤪

Elizzikra, Clare shaded Cameron about his work, asking if he wasn't "bored." He clearly wasn't; she was just being a jerk implying she was bored by his job, even as he tried to involve her. (Meanwhile, she had scorned Cameron for not being in therapy, her job.) And I am similar in preparing for a gathering, the way you describe. What Clare did, IIRC, was to dry out the food because she cooked it too early. These two are completely incompatible.

For one thing, messing up the food because she had to be "prepared." But mostly for being very condescending to Cameron and all that he's about.

Clare is an idiot. Emily's lfriends, Pink especially, are loathsome.

Is there a Live Chat?

If, as many suggest, Gerry is indeed primarily out for "companionship" and "being taken care of," why speculate on an imaginary illness for Theresa and then wonder if he'd leave her? We can just as readily wonder if she would leave him were that scenario reversed. But why go down that rabbit hole? As for Gerry's saying he wasn't a handyman "for the money": Doesn't the vernacular mean "I'm not doing it to get rich," rather than the literal "I'm working for free"? Like, "I wasn't a teacher for the money" kind of statement. 🤷‍♀️

Re gray hair: I loved my Salt and Pepper and got compliments. But now I have less of it, alas and alack. So these days I neither cut nor color, but camouflage with a faux fall from Toni Bratton! I'll be watching the 2024 merger...I mean, marriage of G&T, those crazy kidz, as they begin the New Year with a ban...k account discussion! 😉

Yes. But my larger implication was that Gerry might have felt the same as Elizabeth did, to counter the "too soon after Toni's death" criticisms. Of course, it's equally possible that both parties did seek new companionship too soon! [Disclaimer: I have always lived by a "WWETD?" philosophy, heh. 😉]

Back in the day, when Elizabeth Taylor had tallied only 3 marriages..... After #3 Mike Todd perished in his "Lucky Liz" plane crash, some people were aghast that not only did Elizabeth take up with the married Eddie Fisher, but did so "so soon" post-widowhood. Her riposte? "What do you expect me to do? Sleep alone?"
