 Today is the big day for Jackson and Emerson! They will be married in a few hours. 

We will be sharing their wedding photo as soon as possible. 

Two months until wedding

The wedding is only two months away. 

October birthdays and anniversaries cover

It's time to release our October birthdays and anniversaries cover. The Bates family currently have five birthdays and two anniversaries but by the end of the month they will have six birthdays and three anniversaries.

Bradley is currently the only grandbaby to be born in the month of October. As many of you know Nathan and Esther's baby girl will be born next month.

We will be updating our October birthdays and anniversaries cover right before our November birthdays and anniversary cover.

On October 1st, the Bates family will have three wedding anniversaries.

More wedding photos of Nathan and Esther

Since we shared Nathan and Esther's first wedding photo on October 25th, many have been asking for more. 

Esther's wedding dress was designed by Renee who has done many dresses for the Bates girls and daughter-in-law.

Nathan is the second son to be married.

Esther and Nathan both had their own grand entrance to the wedding. Nathan went by plane while Esther went by a carriage. 

After the wedding ceremony.

We love this photo of Esther and her dress.

It is now time to party.

Mr. and Mrs. Bates #3

Nathan and Esther are officially married! Congrats to the happy couple.

This morning, we shared their wedding day post and promised that we will be sharing photos as soon as we can.

It's hard to believe that the last wedding announcement was when Carlin and Evan got married in May 2019.

Nathan is the second son to get married following Zach's 2013 wedding to Whitney.

Nathan's wedding day!

Happy wedding day to Nathan and Esther!

Be sure to stay tune later today for their official wedding announcement. We know that you all would love to see photos of their wedding, we will be sharing them in a few days.

Wedding day tomorrow

We can't believe that their wedding is tomorrow. A week before their wedding, Nathan and Esther got their marriage license. 

We can't wait to see what her dress looks like and all the little details have got into planning. Please be sure to stay tune for their wedding announcement post which will be out tomorrow night.

October birthdays and anniversaries cover

October is a very busy month for the Bates family. The Bates family has four birthdays and one anniversary.

But with Esther marrying into the family on October 22nd, we are adding her birthday to the birthday cover. We also added a picture of her and Nathan.

Up Next: Kelton and Josie's wedding

As many of you know that Kelton and Josie's wedding is planning to air next week on Bringing Up Bates! We are all so excited and can't wait.



Be sure to check out Kelton and Josie's wedding day post. The couple has currently been married for fourth month of marriage.

Recap: A proposal to plan & Wedding to dos

Evan is still working on the engagement plan for Carlin and ends up meeting with Kelly and Erin. Callie reveals that her future brother-in-law doesn’t know everything.

Zach feels that he is against Evan meets up with Kelly and Erin since by the time that Callie gets married then they might have to do a marriage in Mars or an engagement in space.

Gil reveals that he knew that they were in trouble because it might be wee over the top. Kelly comes up with an idea to do the Maine lighthouse backdrop.

Erin reveals that the highlight of the proposal will be Carlin dancing with Evan. Gil and Kelly reveal that they don’t do much dancing so it’s going to be a first dance.

The family gathers for a cook-off with Zach, Erin and Lawson. They are making a chicken dish with a veggie on the side. They are having Callie, Ellie, Judson and Jeb judge on the taste and appearance.

Erin has her veggies pre-diced and cut up all as her brother, Zach puts it. Meanwhile Zach has made stuffed mushrooms and jalapeno chicken and Erin makes stuffed Chicken with rainbow of veggies. Lawson is looking to please the judges and just makes mac and cheese with fried chicken.

It’s time for the final scores and here they are:

1.      Erin with 69 points

2.      Lawson with 66 points

3.      Zach with 52 points

Zach reveals that the siblings have never been to a fancy dinner and don’t know anything about plating. Judson counters that the cooks should have made bacon and eggs.

Kelly has jumped the boat from engagement talks with Evan to wedding planning with Josie. Recently Josie finds the location that she wants to get married but is worried about the rain since she wants an outdoor wedding.

Zach and Whitney recently learned that they miscarried their third child. Chad and Erin load up their kids and head to Zach and Whitney’s home for a visit. Zach explain his children that they are going to plant a dogwood tree to show that life is there and it’s growing.

Zach reveals that it broke Bradley’s heart but he believes that Jesus will put another baby in mommy’s belly.

Whitney reveals that the tree will serve as a reminder that there not just bad times, but that God is always good to us.
