The Golden Bachelorrunner-upLeslie Fhimais revealing what moment made her “a little uncomfortable” while attending exGerry Turnerandhis now-wifeTheresa Nist’s wedding.
The 65-year-old fitness instructor shared that she had mixed emotions about when Costa Rica — where the couple got engaged but her relationship with Turner ended — was brought up during the ceremony.
“It was a little uncomfortable during the ceremony when they were talking about Costa Rica, because I was there too,” Fhima shared onAlmost Famouspodcast.

However, her discomfort was short-lived. She shared, “It was probably the only time it was really uncomfortable for me and seeing Theresa so happy really, kind of, just took that away anyhow.”
During his vows, Turner, 72, told Nist, “From the first sip of chocolate shake to the last taste of Costa Rican coffee, I learned that you are the woman I can’t live without.”
“I was 100% certain that I was his girl,” she explained. “And things he said to me on our overnight and meeting his family, I mean, they didn’t show everything, but we had such a good time.”

She later told Turner, “Because of your integrity, your words meant so much to me. I didn’t take them for granted, I took them and put them in my heart. Everybody knows what was said on camera but only you and I know what was said on the overnight. And I would never share that with anyone. It’s our private time. But those words gave me 100% certainty that I was your girl and we were going to get engaged.”
Fhima’s decision toattend the nuptialscame after her recenthospitalization.
“Hey guys, happy new year! I just want to say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for all your kind and encouraging words while I was in the hospital and then when I got home and now I’m definitely on the mend,” she shared on her Instagram Story Wednesday.
She added, “I’m feeling so much better that now I get to go to the wedding, and I can’t wait to support Gerry and Teresa in their beautiful day, and I know it’s going to be really really amazing. Bye!”
Fhima said she was hospitalized on Dec. 28 — her 65th birthday — to undergo a “random” surgery.

“Hey everybody! I know that everyone was just curious to know what I did on my 65th birthday. I spent it in the hospital. Yes, I had a bowel blockage, severe cramping, came into the ER,” she explained in a since-expired Instagram Story post, according tomultiple outlets.
Fhima explained that it was “just something so random. Actually, scar tissue from an appendectomy I had when I was 18 years old.” She then warned fans, “If you have severe stomach issues, don’t wait 12 hours to go to the hospital like I did.”
