Wedding in 128 Days

In just over four months, Trace Bates will become the fourth Bates son to wed. He and Lydia Romeike will tie the knot on October 1st, 2022, in Jefferson City, about one hour from the Bates' hometown of Rocky Top, Tennessee. The wedding will take place four days before Josie and Kelton's fourth anniversary, which is fitting because Josie is responsible for setting Trace up with Lydia. You can view the couple's wedding website and registry on The Knot. After this event, Gil and Kelly will be able to say that their 11 oldest children are married.

    1. At least she's only been mother of the bride for one - the MOB is usually more imvolved than the MOG.

    4. 12:16, yes. She has been MOB for only one of the four weddings in this past year, which is what the original comment was about. The comment was not about how many weddings she has been a MOB in all, ever.

  7. Congratulations to Trace and Lydia! Imagine 4 weddings in just a 1 year period for the Bates family! WOW!😯 Had a family in our church who had 2 kids (a boy and a girl) and the siblings got married almost a month apart in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020( just small weddings due to the capacity limits). It was a lot of planning but the family got through both weddings and now they are enjoying being grandparents to soon 2 grandchildren. Hard to think that after this wedding, there will be 8 kids left at home. Praying for the family.🙏

  9. The wedding is in Jefferson City, not Rocky Top. I'm pretty sure Jefferson City is closer to where she lives.
