I love Trace's boyish laugh and seeing him be so happy. He sure found himself a sweet and beautiful bride.
Right?! It made me laugh.
I was about to say the same thing Such a lovely couple
I like his laugh too, its sweet and innocent.😊
Agree. He is so joyful and positive. Boyish giggles totally just shows his happiness.
I have always enjoyed that Gil is a man that shows his emotions, especially when it involves his children and grandchildren.
@@dustinsindledecker154 Yes there is not anything wrong with it
Mama Jane wrap coat is giving EVERYTHING 🙌
The PIMP cane was just the cherry topper! Mama J 4 Ever
She looked like pure royalty it's nice
@@ew2626 😄
I was coming here to say the SAME THING. Grandma wins the fashion game, everyone else can go home
Momma Jane looked amazing! ❤
Great wedding. Full of God, family and love. UP TV messed up when canceling the Bates. They will wish one day they hadn't. Such a Godly wonderful family. Watching Gil's face as each of his children came down the isle was priceless and Traces little giggle. Such a beautiful wedding with such amazing vows. Be blessed! Love the Bates.
What a great wedding it was like being right there. Thank you for allowing us to share your day.
Beautiful wedding. Wish we could have heard Lawson singing.
Its nice to finally see a bates wedding w/o editing from UP TV. Also nice seeing Gil officiating in full. Not a lot of people are fortunate to have their Dad be the Pastor for the wedding. Blessings to both of you.
Gil has done just about every one of his kids wedding. I thought.
@@cheyennehalliger5438 I think Gill " officiating in full" is the main thing Aarin is saying. Most ceremonies were shared with other pastors.
@@cheyennehalliger5438 I guess I should watch entire video before I open my mouth. So sorry. This too is a shared ceremony with her pastor. Sorry again.
I'm sad there is music over playing Lawsons song but thankful to be apart of this wedding and the bates lives 😀
This bought to 53 years in the past when our marriage took place
This was so special. It truly made me cry. Both pastors were amazing. I pray that many unbelievers watch this and get saved. Thank you for sharing this with us.
It was a beautiful wedding and I am happy Trace found his soulmate that has a gentle spirit.
Kelly looked STUNNING🤩 gorgeous couple and ceremony!
Yes and they made beautiful children!
Tori and Erin played beautifully something about the wedding march I cry every time ♥️
They played Pachelbels Canon not the Wedding March:)
Couldn't hear Lawson sing!
@@margaretsirianni1711 …it might have been an copyright issue.
Beautiful ceremony! 😍 I wish we could of heard Lawson sing tho! Wishing yall a lifetime of happiness!
What a beautiful wedding. Trace and Lydia, l wish you the very best in your life together. God bless y'all....😊
Awe. Trace’s giggle said it all. He was so excited. …Beautiful wedding and bride.
When UPtv canceled the Bates we all know that they blew it and I know now that they know it. But when a family is this loved and this welcomed into so many lives as truly cherished it's bc they bring so much of themselves as examples of what is good and glorified and that is what is always evident as it was in this wedding. With a center of God and love ❤️
Perfectly said, I haven't gone back to that channel since
It is so refreshing to hear such a great Christ centered ceremony ❤️
That's a bit of a tongue twister lol
Such a beautiful wedding. Prayers for an even more glorious marriage. What a blessing to have both sets of parents and grandparents in attendance. I love the idea of a unity plant versus the traditional unity candle or sand pouring. So unique. The music was beautiful too. Thanks for sharing. Blessings!
What a beautiful couple, a beautiful wedding and a beautiful tribute to a Godly marriage. God bless them with much happiness and health. ❤️
Mama B looks GORGEOUS
She really did. I like how she switches it up, unlike Michelle Duggar with the same hairstyle and dress at everywedding. I even saw Michelle at this wedding, same tired hairstyle🤦🏽♀️ I love the Bates
Thank you for sharing your special day with us. It was so beautiful and God-honoring from start to finish. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Bates!
How wonderful to see a ceremony so close to the actual time of the wedding. It was just beautiful ❤ thank you for sharing with all of us.
Erin plays piano so beautifully
What a beautiful ceremony. I miss this show so much. The younger kids so grown up.
Thank you Trace & Lydia your wedding was so beautiful & Gil did a great job. That dress was incredible just gorgeous! Love the Bates Family! ❤🇨🇦
My husband and I have been married just over 12years and have never gone to sleep without having a time of prayer . We even pray together even when it has been necessary for us to be away from one another we still make time to prayer and worship via the phone and FaceTime. I encourage you to do likewise. Never go to sleep without praying for each other and asking Gods protection over you while you sleep. May God richly bless you both.
What wonderful Godily words by Gill Bates. Beautiful wedding.
That song when Trace came in, that is so totally him and suits him so much. Beautiful bride and wedding. The ring bearers looked so awesome and the flowers girls so cute.
Beautiful wedding and Lydia that gown is so perfect and stunning on you!!
As I have watched these young couples join their lives together and the Bates family grow larger and larger, I find myself wishing that I had been fortunate enough to have a family like this. The product of a broken home, I grew up in an orphanage and never knew the love and closeness of a real family, never had the guidance of loving parents. And, I envy your choice to raise your family in the church, it obviously appears to be so vital in your strong loving family. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Beautiful wedding. Tears from start to finish. So nice to see Tori and Bobby, Mama Jane and Papa Bill.
I loved seeing how grown and beautiful Ellie and Addie are. Both so beautiful
I came here for the video, but that sermon 😊😊....whew!!!! Every newlywed couple needs to hear it. Thank You for Sharing your Wedding Video with us. ❤ May you be blessed with joy, long life and happy marriage.
Congratulations. Such a beautiful wedding . I especially enjoyed Mr Bates advice around the three C’s . May God bless you both
GOOD WORDS PASTOR BATES, LOVE, LOVE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING!!!!
What a beautiful, convicting sermon. Bates children, you are truly blessed to be raised by such godly parents.
Pastor Bates those were the most wonderful words for a couple ❤ Congratulations to the newly married couple!!! God bless you guys ! 🙏🏻🌹🤗
What a good message from Gil!
Gills marriage advice is my favorite. Truer words were never spoken. We have been blessed with 43 years of marriage and the 3 c’s are a cornerstone of a lasting relationship blessed by God. May the good Lord bless your marriage beyond measure Trace & Lydia. Congratulations ❤🙏🏻❤
❤❤😊
I loved all that Gill Bates said & prayed. It was beautiful!
Beautiful wedding. Congratulations! I hear Erin working her magic on the piano!💖
Thank you so much for sharing this video of your special day with all of us!❤️ Congratulations and I wish you both a lifetime of good health, love and happiness and success in every you do! Lots of love from Claire(Bobby's wife)❤️
This was the MOST beautiful and inspiring wedding video I watched online. Thank you for making a video that shows the whole wedding ceremony. What makes this video so special and set apart from the others is the way God was brought up and talked about constantly. Your dad's message touched my heart. I wrote everything he said down. You got a new subscriber. Keep sharing your life especially the most important part of your life which is your faith in God.
I absolutely love this couple
Trace was soo excited and happy he had the joyful giggles. God Bless you both.🌹💙❤💞💖
Lovely and Beautiful! Hope we get to see the Reception!!
Got a sermon, a little counseling and marriage vows in one wedding. Nice job mr Bates. Love how you share your faith
So happy you got to have your wedding ceremony at the original venue. It was so beautiful and picturesque. Best wishes to both of you! Congratulations!!
Such a beautiful Wedding...and Lydia was a Gorgeous Bride.
Very happy for you guys love what Pastor Bates said to you both and the wedding vows I love that to because it was from the Bible God bless you both in your life together

Dear Trace and Lydia, It was truly an honor to be able to be apart of your special day through this platform!🤍 I am so happy for you both, and I hope and pray you both will not only grow closer to Christ, but you will also grow closer to each other in this next exciting and beautiful season of your lives!! Your wedding was such a beautiful picture of Christ’s relationship with us, the Bride of Christ!🤍 Your wedding also was a great reminder to me to live for Jesus with everything within me, and to trust Him and His plan for me! It also encouraged me to continue to live a life of Purity, and to wait patiently for that guy Jesus has for me, if it is His will. Thanks for having a pure relationship, and being such a great testimony of Jesus!🤍 I love you all!♥️ Love, Hannah
