CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA: 'The Golden Bachelors' stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist got a sneak peek into their potential wedding experience when they were playfully fake-married by Mark Consuelos on 'Live With Kelly and Mark'.

The familiar notes of Mendelssohn’s 'Wedding March' filled the air as Consuelos' co-host and wife Kelly Ripa, 53, humorously plucked a bouquet of flowers from a nearby coffee table.

"We understand that they want you guys to get married on TV. Mark is an ordained minister and since we’re all gathered here today, we could just do a wedding right here," Ripa told the couple on the show. 

Laughter ensued as Consuelos, 52, placed a pair of rings before the couple and began reciting vows.

However, the lighthearted moment took an unexpected turn when Theresa burst into laughter and playfully interrupted Consuelos before they reached the part where they were supposed to kiss.

With a mischievous tone, she exclaimed, “No, wait, we’re not ready.”

Despite the playful antics, 'The Golden Wedding' couple awaits the moment in the spotlight on Thursday, January 4, 2024, at 8 pm ET on ABC. 

'Golden Bachelor' stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist disagree on prenup

It was revealed that Nist, 70, is reportedly keen on having a prenuptial agreement, while Turner, 72, stands on the opposite side, expressing no interest in such legal arrangements.

A source close to the reality TV couple shared insights with the National Enquirer, revealing, "[Theresa] wants a prenup." This desire has, however, become a point of contention as Turner took offense, feeling a lack of trust in the relationship.

The situation has led to frequent arguments, although, according to the tipster, the bickering tends to dissipate when the cameras start rolling.

Despite the differences in their stance on a prenup, Theresa remains committed and willing to navigate these challenges.
