Recap: A Heavenly Honeymoon & A Courtship Countdown

Now that the wedding is over, the newly married couple heads to their honeymoon in California. They fly to San Francisco and drive up the Pacific Coast Highway to view the amazing view of the Pacific Ocean. They stopped at the Natural Bridge State Beach for a lunch break. Bobby says that for the first few days of their marriage, they felt that they snuck off and about to get caught at any second.

Carlin and Josie discuss how weird it is to be the oldest sisters living at the house currently. Carlin and Josie recently shared her courtship in January 2018.

Bobby and Tori are heading for a private boat ride in Monterey Bay. They sail past a big group of sea lions. After they are finished their boat ride, the couple face times Gil and Kelly who have been having a hard time since Tori got married.

Since Tori's birthday was a few days after the wedding, the couple heads to Yosemite Valley. Bobby has set up a sleigh ride to celebrate her birthday which could not be completed without a nice hot apple cider. Tori reveals going from courting and being engaged, you have to be careful that you are not too close then one second later you are married and can do whatever you want. It's a big difference. Bobby ends her birthday celebrate with her favorite meal which is steak.

Kelton is getting ready for the whole courtship proposal with Josie so he meets his father to discuss the plans. The plan is to spend the day in Gatlinburg. When Kelton was 13, his mother passed away while welcoming his sister, Kerstin, into the world. Kelton reveals that it was a very difficult time for their family. Kelton revealed that his father had made it his passion to be dedicated to his siblings and him. Kelton reveals that his father is carrying out his mother's wishes for him.

Kelton is getting ready for the big day and manages to get permission from the city to put up lights on Emerets Cove Covered Bridge in Sevierville. His father and brother Carson helped him with putting them up.   

It's time to put the courtship proposal into motion so he heads over to the house with roses to throw Josie off. He was super nervous about walking up since he has never been in a courtship.

Josie, Kelton, Gil, Kelly and Michael head over to Gatlinburg. They take the aerial tram up to the mountain to the Ober Gatlinburg Ski Area. The couple goes ice skating and he jokes about getting down to one knee. Josie reveals that he could skip the courtship stage and go to propose. Kelton adds that it would have been in his pocket then it would happen but since he did not have it. Josie knows that it's coming and it should be soon.

After skating, they head over to the covered bridge where the couple walks under the bridge. The parents stay back to give them space.

Kelton has a few heart-felt words for his lady which are  “You know that I have had very strong feelings about you for a long time, and today one of the things that I love most about you is that you absolutely are my best friend. I love your sweet spirit and your tenderness for other people. I love your diligence and even your determination to succeed, that those who don’t know you well might not even see. I really love your green eyes though, and I love this little beauty mark that you try to tell me that you hate because it’s beautiful. But above all, I love your heart. I want to make a commitment to you tonight to pursue your heart, and I brought you a gift tonight to help remind you of my commitment to pursue your heart. I love you, Josie Bates. Can I have your heart?”

Kelton brings out a diamond heart necklace and the two of them share a romantic hug.

The parents are so happy for the newly courting couple. Twenty-five years and two days ago, Kelton parents got married and came to Gatlinburg for their honeymoon and it was amazing how things just lined up like that it seems somewhat surreal that it did for Josie and Kelton.

Kelton revealed that his parents were in truly and deeply in love with each other. Kelton was told  that his father's prayer and dream was that he would find someone that would mean so much to him as his mother was to his father. Kelton reveals that Josie is the one that means that much to him and doesn't know how anyone else could.
