Bad Historical Precedent
Though Joan and Chock have seemed happy since getting engaged on The Golden Bachelorette season 1, they’re in no rush to walk down the aisle. The first Golden Bachelor couple rushed things. The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner, 71, and 70-year-old Theresa Nist got married just a few weeks after getting engaged, then divorced only three months later. Joan and Chock don’t want to repeat the same mistake. There’s little doubt that once their busy lives settle down a little, they’ll find time to plan another Golden Bachelor wedding.
