Kathy shared her opinion on whether she would have a televised wedding like Gerry and Theresa if she became The Golden Bachelorette. “I would do the televised wedding,” she admitted. However, as an afterthought, she added, “I just think for me, I'd want to be engaged longer,” as she threw some subtle shade at Gerry and Theresa, whose wedding lasted barely three months. Gerry and Theresa got married in an elaborate and live wedding special in January 2024 at the La Quinta Resort and Club in California. They had been engaged on The Golden Bachelor’s November 2023 finale.
