Susan, Theresa and Gerry prepare for the big day.
The happy couple came up with the idea because we became so close during the show, Susan tellsGlamour.
Gerrys my buddy and now Teresa is my girlfriend, so why not?
I never asked them why, to tell you the truth.
Sandra, Leslie, Gerry, Theresa, Ellen, and Susan at the Santa Monica Pier during one of the last group dates.
But Im really glad they did.
Id never kissed a groom prior to this wedding, she confirms with a laugh.
This is just over-the-top fun, she says.

But the opportunity to do this is so special.
Its because of the bond between the three of us.
And I love doing it for people that I care about.
Gerry and Susan didn’t have romantic sparks, but they developed a deep friendship.
And now, some three months later, that same calming nature is proving invaluable once again.
Everything from A to Z is being taken care of, says Susan.
ensure we get a dance together.
Gerry and Theresa get ready for the big day.
Lets have fun at this reception.
Let everything go and just be you.
Be with your friends.
I did her tell Ill be there if theres something she doesnt like or wants tweaked, Susan adds.
I said, Just pull me aside and well fix whatever you need.
That same emotional support will extend to Gerry as well.
Its okay, Susan recalls.
He would always say to me, Susan, that means so much to me.
You brought me back.
And for the actual wedding ceremony, you know Gerrys going to cry.
Gerry and Susan didnt have romantic sparks, but they developed a deep friendship.
Plus, the 66-year-old has had plenty of practice.
I was 50-something years old going, Youre going to ask me to be in a wedding?
I dont want to be in a wedding.
But another girlfriend said to me, Noles, itll be fine.
You just go online.
Itll cost like $29 [to become ordained].
Long story short, two days later I had spent over a hundred dollars.
I can do funerals.
I took it very seriously.
But more importantly, Susan says the real reward is how it makes her feel.
People heard and listened to what I said [at the first ceremony].
I had people almost ready to cry, and then I made it light and we would laugh.
I fell in love with it, and Im in love with being in love.
So to marry somebody is like the perfect day.
Now the requests forNuptials by Nolesare coming in faster than Susan can keep up with.
I wanted to hire somebody just to answer the emails, Susan says of the interest.
Its already taken off since the show.
People want me to come to Florida.
They want me to go to Ohio.
They want me to go to Alabama.
I need an assistant, I know.
The influx of requests aside, Susan is laser-focused on the Turner-Nist nuptials.
But instead of six-inch heels, Ill probably wear four-inch heels this time!
She is going to be stunning.
It is going to be a show, Im telling you.
Everybodys going to look fabulous.
Gerry and Theresa get ready for the big day.
However, I will be bringing cookies [for the crew].
I just did an extra batch from Christmas, and I have them all packed up.
Or theyll ask, Are you going to the wedding?
To that Id say, I wouldn’t miss it, but I avoided the officiating question.
Susan says the only people she told were her immediate family.
(April is sadly no longer able to make that trip.)
I realized I am the good catch.
Im not looking anymore and Im okay with it.
If its going to happen, itll happen.
Like this show and meeting these women.
It was a beautiful, beautiful journey, a life-changing experience.
And now with the wedding, I just couldnt be any more excited.
Itll be sweet, and funny, and meaningful.
Its a little bit of everything, and thats what I love to do.
