Swarts and Noles were on the first season of \"The Golden Bachelor\" where they tried to win Gerry Turner's heart.

Swarts was known during the season for telling Theresa Nist to \"zip it\" after Nist would overshare details about her time with Turner. But despite the conflict that transpired between the both of them during the season, Swarts and Nist, who ultimately won Turner's heart in the end, have remained good friends. Swarts even helped Nist pick out her wedding dress for her wedding to Turner.

Noles has also remained a close friend to Nist. Noles, who is a wedding officiant from Aston, Pennsylvania, officiated Nist and Turner's wedding in January.

\"Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour\" kicks off on March 28.
