Published on April 20, 2026 EDT The "Golden" gal and former Bachelorette will interview guests as they arrive at the event.

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist's Golden Wedding is turning into a Bachelor Nation family affair.

The Golden Bachelor lovebirds are set to get married live on ABC tonight with former contestant (and technically Gerry's ex) Susan Noles officiating the ceremony. Now EW can reveal that another Golden lady, Kathy "Zip it!" Swarts, will be interviewing guests alongside former Bachelorette star Charity Lawson as they arrive and walk the "Gold Carpet."

According to the network, "Friends, family and Bachelor Nation guests will enter the reception area via a televised walkway, where Gold Carpet Correspondents and Bachelor Nation faves Kathy Swarts and Charity Lawson will be stopping guests for on-camera interviews and capturing cute moments from familiar faces."

Host Jesse Palmer, who told EW in December that he hoped to "get to at least be an usher," will be on hand to "guide the night from the pre-reception [party] nearby" during the first portion of the wedding special.

Other former contestants and franchise staples attending the Golden nuptials in Southern California include Bachelor in Paradise bartender/de facto therapist Wells Adams, reigning King and Queen of Bachelor Nation Trista and Ryan Sutter, and Golden Bachelor runner-up Leslie Fhima, who recently spent her 65th birthday hospitalized for a bowel obstruction. "I'm definitely on the mend," she said in a video posted to her Instagram stories on Wednesday. "I'm feeling so much better that now I get to go to the wedding."

The Golden Wedding airs Thursday, January 4 at 8 p.m. on ABC.
