Faith Martin told Gerry Turner he could call off his wedding
Admittedly, Gerry’s feet still felt quite icy when he shared a chat with his first impression rose the recipient Faith at the rehearsal dinner.
“As I sat there, I poured my heart out to her,” he detailed. “‘Going through this wedding is the wrong thing to do,’ I said. ‘I wish I wasn’t where I am, but I have no way out. I’m completely trapped.’ Faith stuck a finger into my chest and said, ‘What the hell are you doing? If you know in your heart that this is not right, why do you go ahead with it? It’s not you.”
And yet it was. While Faith reminded him that he didn’t have to walk down the aisle, “My need to please everyone, which was built into me from childhood, was too strong to release its destructive grip,” he explained why he still decided to exchange those vows. “I couldn’t let down my girls, Theresa’s family, the cast who had traveled for the event and everyone who had worked tirelessly to pull off a magical wedding. Most of all, I couldn’t let down Theresa, who I still loved dearly even though I was worried about the pace of our relationship.”
But if you ask her, she’d rather be a smitten bride than a divorcee.
“It makes me very sad to think that he felt empty and trapped,” she said Us Weekly. “I wish he would have said something and just ended it.”
