Recap: The Bates Royal Wedding Celebration
**** Special News: Bringing Up Bates will have brand new episodes come June 2018 *****
Gil and Kelly have a goal for their nineteen children to be morally and emotionally pure for their future spouse. They had chose a route that they did not even know about when they were dating. There are many names for it such as dating with a purpose or courtship. The family doesn't do traditional dating.
In September 2013, Zach and Whitney relive their proposal. Zach had surprised her with a trip to Florida and pop the question on the beach with a candlelight dinner and a ring.
In August 2013, Chad and Erin got engaged under a gazebo after taking a horse drawn carriage ride in the park. The couple also looked back at their wedding, which took place in November 2013.. Both Chad and Erin were the first one to get married. UP TV aired photos of their wedding since the wedding was taped on TLC for 19 kids and counting.
During Michaella and Brandon's engagement, Michaella didn't have her brothers tag along that much. Both Lawson and Nathan have opinions about someone looks. Nathan is very honest and he will say what he thinks while Lawson will agree to it.
John and Alyssa relive how they first met which was from a friend's wedding. Alyssa got to know John's brother during a Romania mission trip. The couple fell in love during John's father campaign for Congress that she, Tori and Lawson helped with. Alyssa shared that she was super nervous for her wedding date. She joked that her father was going to raise another Alyssa. She would later described it absolutely blissful after the wedding and shared that her husband cried for a little bit.
“We’ve got a lot of excitement around, a lot of things happening, a lot of kids changing,” says Gil.
