Big News--Bates Fan File


Happy Saturday! I (Ellie, your faithful blog author) have a fun surprise for my readers.

Today marks the start of an exciting new partnership between myself and UP. The network is introducing a video series called the Bringing up Bates Fan File and has asked me to host.

Following each new episode of the show, I’ll have a new Fan File video to share with you all. I’m thrilled about this partnership and eager to show you the first installment (below).

  5. Love the bates family. I try to never miss an episode. Love your blog also. Was a little disappointment with York's attitude on cake and other wedding plans. Maybe it was nerves but rudeness is not a Bates.

  7. Very nicely done, congrats on your new gig with UP. We don't get UP, so I hope you will continue with the Blog as well. As far as your question if I could plan a Bates-sized wedding in just three months, my answer is NO. But our weddings are very detailed with appetizers and drinks, sit down 3 or 4 course dinner and dessert, open bar, speeches, hiring a DJ for dancing, 11pm buffet of foods and desserts and coffee/tea, and this all requires very early reservations for these services. Planning is usually minimum ONE YEAR here.

  10. I’m a little confused. What will the fan file be about? I watched the video but Ellie just did a synopsis of the last episode. I thought the fan file would be more? Or will it only be a synopsis of that weeks episode? Sorry if I missed something....

    1. Hopefully that's just the "starter" video and they will come up with some new content as time goes on.

  13. Hi! Good luck with your new gig. I I love the Bates family and I am excited to have another format to learn more about them. IIcome from a community where it is very common to plan very large weddings during the time-frame of a three month engagement. It is a vet hectic time, and sometimes not everything gets done in time. It is extra stressful because the bride needs to buy a Wig as well, because women cover their hair in our community, after they are married. I think there are benefits to a long engagement and to a short engagement, and I prefer when the community tradition is that each couple or family makes the choice that works best for them. Nathan's Lake party sounds fantastic. Men need their clubs. I have not posted in a while because I figure they have a lot of fans, so do they need another comment? I watched the pre-show YouTube clip with Erin and her husband and the parents discussed how much encouragement they get from fan feedback. I love their show. It is a blessing and inspiration to watch and how they invite us to learn from and be a part if their lives. I live in Israel and I love meeting with Christian visitors and tourists, sharing and showing them the Holy land. If I they decide to come I would love to help them prepare their trip and join them on some of their explorations and travels. Avishagbatshunam@gmail.com
    I also have a blog about Israel, the Bible, religion, recipes, culture and health science. Theshunamshindig.blogspot.co.il.
