  • "The Golden Bachelor" stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist tied the knot in a televised ceremony.
  • They're not the only couple from Bachelor Nation to have a wedding that's aired on TV.

On Thursday, "The Golden Bachelor" stars Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner became the latest "Bachelor" couple to get married in a live televised wedding ceremony.

Dubbed "The Golden Wedding" by ABC, the ceremony was officiated by fellow "Golden Bachelor" contestant and fan favorite Susan Noles. Past participants in the "Bachelor" franchise, including Trista and Ryan Sutter, were also in attendance.

Gerry and Theresa aren't the only couple from "The Bachelor" and its various spinoffs to have a televised wedding ceremony — Trista and Ryan were the first couple from the franchise to have their wedding air on TV back in 2003.

Here are eight "Bachelor" couples who've also gotten hitched in a televised ceremony.

Rehn, a runner-up on "The Bachelor," was the first ever star of "The Bachelorette." She and Sutter got engaged on the first season of the spinoff, and got married in an ABC special broadcast (the first ever televised "Bachelor" wedding) in December 2003.

The couple are still together to this day, and have two children together.

Despite proposing to Melissa Rycroft during the season 13 finale of "The Bachelor," Mesnick later admitted that he was still in love with runner-up Malaney.

After reconciling on "After the Final Rose" and getting engaged in 2009, Mesnick and Malaney tied the knot during a 2010 televised special. They're still together to this day, and have a daughter, born in 2013, together.

Rosenbaum and Hebert got engaged on the season seven finale of "The Bachelorette" in 2011, and were married in a televised ceremony on ABC in 2012. And in 2018, they renewed their vows in Aruba.

They went on to have two children together — son Fordham Rhys, born in 2014, and daughter Essex "Essie" Reese, born in 2016. But the couple announced in 2020 that they were separating due to "differences" in their relationship. Their divorce was finalized in October 2021.

Lowe and Giudici had their first son Samuel in July 2016, two years after their televised wedding in 2014. Their second son, Isaiah, was born in May 2018.

In addition to Samuel and Isaiah, the couple welcomed a third child, daughter Mia, in December 2019.
