The starting season The Golden Bachelor ended with Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple getting engaged on national television, and I’m convinced we’ll get another to celebrate The Golden Bachelor wedding in 2025. 61-year-old Joan was no stranger to finding love on television, making her debut as a contestant The Golden Bachelor season 1. When he had to leave early due to a family emergency, he thought Bachelor the journey was over, but it had only just begun. Soon he was announced by name The Golden Bachelor.
Joan began The Golden Bachelor season 1 by saluting 24 singles men, including 60-year-old Chock Chapple. The season ended with the couple getting engaged and riding off into the sunset to get their happy ending. Since the engagement, the couple have looked happy as they juggle their lives and families. It’s been too long The Golden Bachelor donated us a Golden wedding, but I am convinced that in the future we will have another starry wedding of our franchise.
The first golden bachelor wedding
Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist
The Golden Bachelor season 1 ended with a wedding. 72-year-old Gerry Turner gave his last rose to 70-year-old Theresa Nist in a lavish wedding event that aired on ABC a few weeks after the final rose ceremony. Gerry and Theresa were both widows who had never expected to walk down the aisle. Neither of them had big weddings with their late spouses, and ABC didn’t skimp on the fairytale dream wedding.
