Gerry Turner and Theresa NistThe Golden Bachelor’s Theresa Nist had a night to remember at her bachelorette party!
The 70-year-old financial service professional celebrated with her friends from the inaugural season of the ABC dating show ahead of her nuptials to fiancé Gerry Turner. In attendance for the festivities were Sandra Mason, Ellen Goltzer, Faith Martin, and Susan Noles.
Kicking off the celebrations, the women gifted Theresa some champagne glasses from her wedding registry. "The best choice happened so here's to having it all work out the way it should've," Faith said while giving a group toast.
Theresa then arranged for the women to take part in a boudoir photoshoot, complete with sexy lingerie. The group was initially hesitant about the photo shoot — aside from Theresa, who was excited to embrace her sexy side — but they quickly got over their fears and began to feel empowered.
"I think any woman at any age should feel sexy and confident, and comfortable in their own skin," Theresa told cameras.

Ellen said she "felt really good and really sexy," while Faith expressed that she was happy to have done the photo shoot later in life.
Later, while playing Never Have I Ever, the women welcomed a few Chippendales dancers from Las Vegas. The men gave them lap dances and showed off their abs, which left the women swooning.
"Never have I ever seen so many gorgeous abs in my life," Ellen joked, as Theresa gushed, "I can't help myself!"

"This is the best bachelorette party that I've been to!" Ellen declared.
One dancer, Shyllon, even escorted Sandra to The Golden Wedding — donning nothing but a tuxedo jacket, black pants and bowtie.

“Oh, I will definitely do a bouquet toss,” she said, before adding with a laugh: “There's plenty of women who want to catch that bouquet.”
Her fiancé added: “So true.”
"Sorry!" Theresa shared, apologizing for the comment — an underhanded reference to the 20 other women who vied for her fiancé’s heart on national television in the inaugural season of the Bachelor spinoff show. “I think we will do all the traditional things that you normally do at a wedding.”

Theresa Nist and Gerry TurnerAs for their first dance, Theresa was hoping that their “plan goes off the way we envision it.”
Gerry added: “You've seen me dance. It's not exactly pretty. So I'm going to do the best I can.”
The pair have had dance lessons to prepare, Gerry explained. “I'm a little sore and tired right now from a long morning of rehearsals. You have to remember, I was married 43 years. I came into this relationship well-trained, so when she tells me there's a song that I like, there's a song that I like.”
