In a joint interview with PEOPLE, Gerry and Theresa gushed about their daughters and how they’ve helped out withthe wedding planning.
“We have daughters who are so involved,” Theresa said. “My daughter, she’s seen a million weddings and she is incredible. She’s put together the vision board. She’s asking me, ‘Do you like this? Do you like this?’ And I go, ‘Wow, okay, I don’t even have to do this. This is awesome.’ She’s handling it pretty much.”
Gerry, on the other hand, shared how he was more than happy to hand over the reins to his bride-to-be and Jen.
“I can just hear the joy in her voice when I talk to her and she’s talking about whether it’s a dress or a cake or flowers or whatever it is,” he says. “It makes me so happy that she’s having this much of a good time with it. It’s like, what could be more fun?”

“She is so thrilled!” Theresa said of her daughter’s impending duties. “All of my six grandsons will be involved and we want to have Henry as the ring bearer. And we’re going to have my sisters — they don’t know this — as flower girls. They’re older. They should be thrilled with that.”
