‘Golden Bachelor’ runner-up Leslie to attend Gerry, Theresa’s TV wedding

Gerry Turner‘s runner-up on “The Golden Bachelor,” Leslie Fhima, will still be attending his wedding to Theresa Nist on Thursday.

Fhima, 65, is set to make an appearance at the nuptials despite feeling ill and undergoing a recent surgery.

She shared on her Instagram stories Wednesday that she spent her birthday — which is on Dec. 28 — at the hospital.

“Yes, I had a bowel blockage, severe cramping, came into the ER,” she said, adding that the pain stemmed from scar tissue left by an appendectomy she underwent as a teen.

“I’m definitely on the mend. I’m feeling so much better, that now I get to go to the wedding,” she dished.

“I can’t wait to support Gerry and Theresa on their beautiful day. I know it’s going to be really, really amazing,” Fhima added.

On the season finale of “The Golden Bachelor” that aired in November, Turner, 72, had to choose between Nist, 70, and Fhima.

“I came to the realization that you’re not the right person for me to live with,” Turner told Nist on the finale before getting down on one knee. “You’re the person that I can’t live without.”

While he loved both, “there was a clear choice” with Nist.

Fhima, meanwhile, broke down in tears when he broke up with her and said he “lied” to her. Despite feeling like he led her on, the exes made up during the “After the Final Rose” special.

Nist told Entertainment Weekly on Tuesday that she “wants all of the women from ‘The Golden Bachelor’ to be there.”

“We don’t know who’s going to be able to make it. And there will be people there from Bachelor Nation and then our close family and friends,” she said.

Turner then chimed in: “We want it to have the feel of a celebration, a big happy family that gets extended to our very best friends. That’s what we’re aiming for.”

Nist also joked that at the moment, “85%” of the wedding planning had been done.

Her daughter Jen, 39, has been a big help with the planning process.

“I can’t say enough about how wonderful she’s been,” Nist divulged to People in a recent chat. “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.”

According to the outlet, the “very elegant but not stuffy” wedding will occur at the La Quinta Resort & Club in La Quinta, California.

“Pale colors of pinks and peaches” will be the theme of the bash in an effort to achieve a “very light and airy look,” according to Nist.

“Golden Bachelor” contestant Susan Noles will be officiating at the ceremony.
