The real-time "I dos" for ABC's "Golden Bachelor" Gerry Turner and his fiancée Theresa Nist will be heard live across the nation as the network broadcasts the reality show's climactic wedding. It also sounds like they'll be heard here in the Coachella Valley.
Current social media posts of cast members and neighborhood reports from residents to the News Channel 3 newsroom both indicate that the ceremony is set to happen at the La Quinta Resort.
Susan Noles shared with her "Bachelor Nation" fans in her Instagram story that she was on her way to "start the festivities" as she was being driven through a resort.
Bachelorette alum Trista Sutter shared in a pickleball-courtside Instagram story that "obviously the secret's out, everyone's been sharing on social" that she was on site for the Golden Bachelor wedding.
ABC's network representatives would not confirm the shooting location.

"The Bachelor' in the Coachella Valley
ABC's hit reality show has made several trips to the desert for production. If you watched the season premiere of "The Bachelorette" on ABC/KESQ in October of 2021, you saw thirty men arriving in Indian Wells with the hopes of courting bachelorette Michelle Young. Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells was the host location for part of that season.
Coachella Valley is familiar to the show's production team. In 2020, the show was filmed exclusively at the La Quinta Resort & Club for Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adam's season. Back in 2017, then-bachelorette Rachel Lindsay filmed a date at the Palm Springs home of actor Kirk Douglas.
In 2017, "Bachelorettes" had a date in Palm Springs.
