Live Kelly and Mark
The Golden Bachelor’sGerry Turnerand his fiancéeTheresa Nistare one step ahead in their wedding prep, thanks toKelly RipaandMark Consuelos!
While appearing on Tuesday’s episode ofLive with Kelly and Mark, the engaged couple partook in an impromptu dress rehearsal ahead of their official wedding — and, thankfully, they happened to be wearing outfits just right for the occasion.
Turner, 72, looked dapper in a classic gray suit teamed with a lilac button-up shirt and coordinating tie.
Nist, 70, wore a glamorous black mini dress with rhinestones, which matched her silver manicure, and heeled ankle boots. (Nist had shared a peek attheir outfitsearlier this month before the episode aired.)
Ripa then hands Nist a bouquet of white roses and Turner a ring pillow. The surprised couple laugh at the props.
The soon-to-be newlyweds exchange promises to love one another “forever” with the help of Consuelos’ script. And, just as Consuelos starts to close out the rehearsal wedding, Nist playfully rejects his confirmation, saying, “We’re not ready!”
“You may now suck on your ring pops,” announces Ripa.

While sweet, the candy accessory can’t out-beat the “vintage-inspired”Neil Laneengagement ring Turner proposed with onThe Golden Bachelorseason finale.
“The symbolism of it is so important,” Turner told PEOPLE exclusively of the sparkler. “It was just like, the minute she slipped it on, again, it was like, ‘Oh, my god, this is that joyful happiness that I want to feel, that I want everyone to see.’”

When it was announced to the world that Nist was the lucky winner to receive Turner’s final rose, she was incredibly glad to finally be able to wear her new rock.
“It was gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous,” she told PEOPLE of her ring. “I get to wear it, finally. It’s been such a long time. They took this away from me so quickly. It’s beautiful, beyond. Beyond, beyond. So gorgeous. I love it.”
