    Do you know who that girl is on the far left in the pictures of the girls watching Micheal try on her wedding dress? I know a family friend but she seems to be there a lot.?

  4. Is there some law in TN that says that the father has to sign the marriage license? That seems very patriarchal! I just saw that Michael turned 26 recently, so it's not like she needed her father's permission to get married!

    I'm getting married in a little more than a month and I'm looking forward to walking down the aisle with my fiance since it's us who are going into this new phase of life (not that we're expecting any monumental relationship shifts since we already live together). As an independent woman, I certainly have no need for my father to give me away. I'm not giving anything away! My fiance and I are going to both hyphenate so that neither of us loses our previous identity while we gain a new combined one.

    1. Please correct me if I am wrong but Gil is also a pastor and I think the licence needed a pastors signature?
      Huge Congrats Michael and Brandon. I can identify with your skills and love how you put it to such good use! x

  5. Do the Bates do some kind pre-marriage counseling book with the engaged couples like the Duggars do?
