Wedding bells are ringing for Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist.
The “Golden Bachelor” alums will tie the knot in a televised ceremony at La Quinta Resort & Club near Palm Springs, Calif., on Thursday.
The location — which was first revealed by Reality Steve in December when the engaged couple were seen touring the grounds — will be familiar to Bachelor Nation fans.
La Quinta previously served as the backdrop for Season 16 of “The Bachelorette,” which was filmed in 2020 and starred Tayshia Adams.
The luxe venue boasts 41 climate-controlled pools, multiple golf courses and several private suites.
Guests will stay in rooms featuring French doors that open up to private patios with hot tubs and stunning mountain views.
One guest room even offers visitors the chance to experience “the historic poolside suite where [former President Dwight D.] Eisenhower vacationed after leaving office,” per the resort’s website.
Since arriving at the property, the lovebirds have been seen posing for snaps with family members and friends, including cast members from the inaugural season of the over-60’s dating show.
Turner, 72, popped the question to Nist, 70, during the “Golden Bachelor” finale, which aired last month.
The couple, who both shared two children with their deceased spouses, only had a handful of weeks to plan their nuptials, which will be broadcast live on ABC.
The bride-to-be told People that her daughter, Jen, 39, has been particularly helpful with wedding planning.
“I can’t say enough about how wonderful she’s been,” Nist explained.
“There are so many decisions to be made, and many, many times we weren’t available to give an answer, and she’s provided it. And then his daughters are involved, and my daughter’s talking to his daughters — it’s been a family event.”
She noted that many of their loved ones “want to say something” at the reception.
“Some of it you will see, some of it you won’t see, but every single person is really involved,” she teased.
As for the bridal party, Nist’s son, Tommy, 46, will walk her down the aisle and her son-in-law, Matt, will be one of the groomsmen.
The bride’s grandsons Brandon, Braxton, Brody, Dempsey and Leo are all set to be junior groomsmen, while her youngest grandson, Henry, will be the ceremony’s ring bearer.

Turner’s best man is his son-in-law Rob, 44, while his two daughters, Angie Warner, 43, and Jenny Young, 49, and Young’s daughters, Charlee, 16, and Payton, 22, will be bridesmaids and junior bridesmaids, respectively.
Even Turner’s 92-year-old father, Everett — who can’t travel from Indiana to California because of his health — will be involved.
“I made arrangements with a baker in Fort Wayne to take a small replica of the wedding cake to his home address the night of the wedding,” the reality star said.
“He has had watch parties every Thursday, and so we’ll take a little bit of the wedding to him.”
“The Golden Wedding” airs Thursday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
