Golden Bachelor fans fear key finalist will skip Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist's wedding after spott
FANS have been questioning whether or not Leslie Fhima will be at the first-ever Golden Bachelor wedding following her recent surgery.
Gerry Turner, 72, is gearing up to tie the knot with his fiancee Theresa Nist, 70, this Thursday in a televised ABC event.
Gerry proposed to the financial services professional after his gutwrenching breakup with his other finalist, Leslie, 64.
Fans of The Golden Bachelor were given the news of the upcoming wedding during the finale episode at the end of November.
Other contestants are set to be in attendance for the special day, as Gerry has declared he has remained friends with many of the women from his season.
However, fans have shown concern over whether Leslie will be celebrating or not, due to her being rushed into emergency surgery just days ago.

In an online forum, one fan asked: "Are we going to see Christina and Leslie on Thursday?"
They noted that Leslie was still recovering after going to the hospital, adding: "I'd really like to see Leslie again. I hope she is well enough to fly out for the event."
The post maker also said that one of Gerry's frontrunners, Sanda Mason, posted that she and fellow contestants Faith Martin, Joan Vassos, and Ellen Goltzer were planning on attending the wedding.
Others chimed in with their thoughts, with one writing: "I feel like Leslie can't be there if she was just in the hospital, sad!"

A second wrote: "I don’t think Leslie wants to be there. She seemed really hurt in the finale. Her legitimate medical issues give her an easy way out because now she couldn’t go even if she wanted to."
"Leslie had surgery, there’s no way she’s getting on a plane," a third guessed.
A fourth added: "I would not go if I were Leslie, healthy or not. Going to the wedding of someone you had/have feelings for only a few months later, after they dumped you on national television, and knowing your every move will be heavily scrutinised? No way."
"I’m sure Leslie is 100% a no show with very good reason," another said.
LESLIE'S SURGERY
On New Year's Eve, the personal trainer revealed she had to spend her 65th birthday in a hospital emergency department following complications from an old surgery.
"Hi, everybody. If you are wondering what I did for my 65th birthday. I spent it in the hospital," she said in an Instagram Story on Sunday.
Leslie took the video while wearing a hospital gown and being hooked up to an IV.
"Yes. I had a bowel blockage. Severe cramping. Came into the ER and they saw that I had this blockage," she went on.
She said that the doctors told her that she needed surgery, adding: "It was something so random. It was actually scar tissue from when I had an appendectomy when I was 18 years old."
Leslie said that she waited 12 hours before going to the hospital and had been staying there for a few days.
She wished everyone a Happy New Year before ending the video.
