Blessed by God. I've just recently discovered The Bates and began watching season one. I'm on season 3 now. Amazingly talented and beautiful, each and every one of the Bates, beginning with Mom Bates and Dad Bates. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
I am crying remembering beautiful Josie as a child with her angelic face and beautiful curly hair...now she is all grown up with a handsome husband, and anyone can see from the pictures that they adore each other...Congratulations Kelton and Josie! Don't mean to rush anything but can't wait to see your precious first child. Thank you Kelly Jo and Gil for sharing Josie with us over the years. What a wonderful girl she is!
I have been waiting to see the video from you both, Josie and Kelton. Had to admit you are my most FAV Bates /Balka from the group. Re-watched all episodes that you both were on it. Love the courting, engagement, and marriage episodes--I laughed the hardest on learning to drive episode with you, Josie and younger sis, Katie(?). I admire you both for your maturity beyond your years. What a lovely, adorable, beautiful couple and family. Keep it up. Love you both and kids!!!
Both beautiful inside/out..in such a large family..never a boring moment..Love, Luv the Bates..genuine they are from exceptional parents..moi, Canada🇨🇦 🤗
Congratulations to the beautiful couple gorgeous bride and handsome groom may God bless all their days. The music was heavenly I love a harp. The pictures tell and show the great love between them.
What a beautiful couple .What a reflection of God's love. May our Heavenly Father continue to bless you and your future. God bless you Gil , I know it's bitter sweet.
What a beautiful journey to see this young couple so much in love. Congratulations to you both and may you have many years of wonderful memories as you live your life according to God's Will.
Beautiful wedding, God was shining on you two the whole service, Mr and Mrs Bates , you both have raised your children with God as your guide. Beautiful family. God has blessed your union...
Congrats!!! WOW!! You both got married on my birthday!! The first year I had to celebrate without my husband as he died last May. I am Celebrating with you too.
So sorry for your loss. May your husband rest in peace. count your blessings that you had somebody that you love with all of your heart and soul keep your thoughts good and positive. Also keep the thought that you shall be reunited one day .
Many of the kids are, but some of the older ones did not. I do not think Zach and Whitney and Chad and Erin followed strict courting rules - I cannot remember exactly who, but they mentioned it on the show before. It seems that when the family started getting more publicity, they got stricter, but both the families say that ultimately it is up to the kids. IBLP, which both families are deeply involved with, really stress courtship (stress may be an understatement). I have issues with a lot of IBLP stuff - there is a lot of stuff stressed that to a young person could come across as "the Bible says it" when in fact, it is just good ideas. Reminds me a lot of the Jewish leaders in Jesus's day - follow the To'Na'Kh plus all these other rules
Jana Dugger only one in these 2 families with any sense. Seems like all of them could not get away from parents and family fast enough. Sad because big fan of the Bates but some serious red flags around the way they go about marrying off there kids especially the girls.
The Bates and the Duggar’s get married to Quick! Is it BECAUSE of TEMPTATION? That’s Wonderful that EVERYONE is a VIRGIN. But, I do NOT see all these marriages being a LIFE TIME OF LOVE, and HAPPINESS! But their babies sure are always GORGES!
I tend to agree with you Donna..though most if not all the Bates girls are educated..they will be able to make choices should their Marital Bliss is no more..good job..mama and papa Bates..moi 🇨🇦
Oh gawd im glad i wasn't the only one thinking this. If my child at 18/ 19 years of age wanted to get married....hell would have to freeze the hell over first.....no way Too young.
I dated 20 women before met meet my wife. How does first guy she dates become her soul mate, it is totally impossible. Now 4 daughters married and they all found there soul mate with 1st guy they dated.. I wish them the best. good luck.
Steve, my husband is the only man I ever dated, and we've now been happily married 47 years. So no, it's not "totally impossible". It may not happen for everyone, but it is entirely possible and DOES happen for some. I know because I have lived it and still am living it! :-)
I only dated 1 other guy before I got married at 22, my hubby only dated a few ladies as well( less than 5).. My hubby and I have been married for over 17 years😊. You don't have to date a ton of people before settling down, although I know that's the norm of this time. They( the Bates) and other families like them teach their kids that dating is not just for casual hooking up and messing around but should be with the intent of finding a future spouse. The more people you connect with the more people you bring into the marriage, that's why it isn't a lot of dating
They both are good looking. What disturbs me is to see how many people love them BECAUSE they are attractive. Would you say I love this amazing couple if - I will be blunt _ ugly??? It is all based on looks. And why is she carrying an entire tree down the aisle?
This was amazingly Beautiful. I love everything about the Bates Family. They have the Joy of the Lord

Paul Berschauer, You can order her CD on her website which is: www.ErinCrossHarpist.com
Are the Bates following the same rules as the Duggars for courting. The Bates are looking much happier, to me.....
fay King yes very happy

similar but they are allowed to have private conversations hold hands and front hug
Is the wedding going to be on tv. I hope so. If so I can't wait. I love your wedding dress . Good luck in the further. Keep smiling.
You Are Such A Cute Couple and God Bless You And Your Family ! ❤️
Thank You For Your Reply And God Bless You And Your Family 🙏🏻
Just wondering why you made this video
what color is the girls being painted now
Isn’t she gorgeous!

the only way to fly the coop is with a male bird
Why are NM politicals ad on here. BS
Yeah, it's crazy what commercial gets put on RUclips videos nowadays... and we have no way of controlling it.

Steve Reinertsen did your wife date 20 men before she found you

With God all things are possible, it's just humans are impatient and don't listen to His directions..

Stop whining....
