Messages for Carlin and Evan

Bobby Smith, Kade Smith, Tori Smith

"Carlin Stewart, oh ya, that's really going to be hard. But I'm all for it, Carlin Stewart, okay. On my phone she'll still be Carlin Bates, though."
-Gil Bates

The Bates family has some sweet things to say about Carlin, Evan, and the couple's wedding day. Gil gets emotional when he talks about his little girl. And Tori (Bates) Smith has the biggest smile on her face when she shares her thoughts on the wedding and how much she loves her sister.

The videos from Gil and Kelly and the Smiths are below, and you can watch videos from Lawson Bates, Josie and Kelton Balka, Michael and Brandon Keilen, and Kate Bates on the UPtv website.

  4. This is so beautiful, these people are not perfect-but their love for God and His Ways are so sincere.
    Wish we could access the network that does the show in Canada-we are seriously missing out.
    Bless this family!

  6. Could you find out if Tori plans on teaching again, or if she plans on being a SAHM

    1. I’m going to guess she’ll be a stay at home mom for awhile, since pretty much all the money she would make as a teacher would have to be spent on daycare, and wouldn’t really balance out the effort of working.

    1. I think they are both great parents to each one of their 19 kids! As each one gets married, you can tell how close they were to the child and how well they knew them. I also enjoy how much fun they have with each other and how they always make each other laugh.

  12. I would really, really like to know where Tori got her dress for Carlin’s wedding! I absolutely love the style and color! I am needing to get a nice dress for an upcoming wedding, and I really like that one !

  13. Congrats, dear Carlin! Have loved to watch you growing up into a beautiful young woman of God!

  14. Tori`s dress could have been modified with a lace overlay over the entire upper section (more like Whitney`s), rather than just having a satiny fabric extending out from the strapless bodice. It is not an attractive alteration when you can see where the original dress ends and the add-on starts. A lace overlay can be very modest.
