The Golden BachelorTheresa Nist had a night to remember at her bachelorette party!
The 70-year-old financial services professional celebrated with her pals from the inaugural season of the ABC dating show ahead of her wedding to fiancé Gerry Turner. Sandra Mason, Ellen Goltzer, Faith Martin and Susan Noles attended the ceremony.
Kicking off the celebration, the women presented Theresa with champagne glasses from her wedding registry. “The best choice happened, so here’s to making it work,” Faith said as she toasted the group.
Theresa then arranged for the women to participate in a boudoir photo shoot, complete with sexy lingerie. The group was initially hesitant about having the photo taken – except for Theresa, who was excited to embrace her sexy side – but they quickly got over their fears and began to feel empowered.
“I think every woman at any age should feel sexy and confident and comfortable in her own skin,” Theresa said in front of the cameras.

During her photos, Sandra joked that she “has X-rated thoughts about Denzel [Washington]” and they served as inspiration for her sexy mood. Ellen said she “felt really good and really sexy”, while Faith expressed that she was happy to take pictures later in life.
Later, as they played Never Have I Ever, the women greeted a few Chippendales dancers from Las Vegas. The men danced on their laps and showed off their abs, which made the women swoon.
“I’ve never seen such beautiful abs in my life,” Ellen joked, while Theresa said: “I can’t help myself!”

“This is the best bachelorette party I’ve ever been to!” Ellen stated.

As for their first dance, Theresa hoped their “plan would go the way we envisioned.”
