In a joint interview with PEOPLE, Gerry and Theresa talked about their daughters and how they helped them plan their wedding.
“We have daughters who are so involved,” Theresa said. “My daughter, she’s seen a million weddings and she’s amazing. She put together a vision board. She asks me: ‘Do you like this? Do you like this?’ And I’m like, ‘Wow, well, I don’t even have to do that. This is excellent.’ She carries it pretty well.”
Gerry, on the other hand, shared that he was more than happy to hand over the reins to his bride-to-be and Jen.
“I just hear the joy in her voice when I talk to her, and she’s talking about whether it’s the dress or the cake or the flowers or whatever,” he says. “It makes me so happy that she’s having such a good time with it. It’s like, what could be more fun?”

Gerry asked his sons-in-law to be his best men and Theresa’s daughter to be his girlfriend.
“She’s so excited!” Theresa said about her daughter’s upcoming duties. “All six of my grandchildren will be involved and we want to have Henry as the ring bearer. And we will have my sisters – they don’t know this – as flower girls. They are older. They should be delighted with it.”
Theresa also shared how she is looking forward to her new life with Gerry and the home they will make for their blended family.
“I would say finding a home together and creating that home that everyone would want to come to — our whole family, our friends — and just exploring life together and having adventures and going on vacations together and having a fun, amazing, wonderful life,” she said. “We feel like we’re going to have the best lives ever.”
