    This is nuts! You don’t decide who you’ll marry the night of fantasy suites! And definitely not from a conversation of where to live.
    Yes, we know you both lost a spouse, but that conversation isn’t going to sustain a lifelong commitment because that topic will get old.
    Older people marry for companionship, not sex, tho they think they’ll have it once in a while. They just don’t want to be alone.
    They don’t marry for kids, or having them… they just want their children to like their new spouse. The “be happy for me”.
    Gerry doesn’t know who he loves because he threw that word around too freely. He’s only marrying Theresa because she won’t throw a wrench in his system, but will be more agreeable. Period.

    I am very disappointed with how this show ended. I like a lot of other people felt Gerry was the real thing. Unfortunately it seems he wasn’t!  I will not be watching the wedding. Seems like a scam!!!!
