ReplyDeleteWhat makes your world go around is that you all know how to love perfectly!! Praise GOD for that could only come from the giver of love.
ReplyDeleteI think I can read Carlin's mind in that picture! :) She and Tori look great.
ReplyDeleteTori looks STUNNING!!!!!!! Wow, beautiful dress. Her makeup and hair look fabulous, the little girls look adorable, Carlin's bridesmaid dress is also stunning.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures they are beautiful. Lawson with the flowers girls are cute! Who are the flower girls?
ReplyDeleteOne of them is Tori's little sister Callie. The other one is probably one of Bobby's relatives. Maybe a cousin or a niece.
DeleteThe other little girl is Gil's niece.
DeleteI love the pictures they are beautiful. Lawson with the flowers girls are cute! Who are the flower girls?
ReplyDeleteThere were three flower girls- Tori's sister, Tori's cousin and Bobby's cousin

ReplyDeletelovely wedding
ReplyDeleteWhen will there be a video of the couples wedding?
ReplyDeleteThe bride looked lovely her dress was just fitted enough to have a little va va voom but still modest! Love the bridesmaids dress, lovely design, gorgeous colour.
ReplyDeleteWhy did they go with Renee Miller? Is she at ATI-IBLP friend? The Bates haven’t used her in weddings before this, and Tori’s dress is hands down the most stylish Bates dress to date. Definitely not the discount David’s bridal getup the older girls had to endure.
ReplyDeleteBut, my question is...why Renee? Out of all the dressmakers in the USA, the Bates used the Duggars’ dress lady.
It makes perfect sense to me. They've been to the Duggar weddings and seen Renee's beautiful dresses, no doubt the Duggars have told them about their good experience with Renee since the families are friends, and with the help of the show they probably have avenues now that they didn't have before. And the other Bates brides looked beautiful as well. No need to insult their dresses.
DeleteMaybe because she's an AMAZING dress maker? I would go to her too!
DeleteMost of the brides I've known over the years have had to "endure" buying a wedding dress that was not custom made, myself included. Somehow we managed to pull through without being forever traumatized.
DeleteDon’t you shop where your friends shop? When my friends tell me about a new restaurant or store, I will go check it out. It makes sense that they heard about Renee from the Duggars and decided to use her. She does a beautiful job!
DeleteWow 12:36, how rude. If someone care afford to have a custom made dress and wants one there is NO REASON why they shouldn't get one. Your comment makes you sound bitter.
Delete1:14- I think 12:36 was responding to 6:17 AM's comment that insinuated the other Bates brides had to "endure" discount dresses, rather than having a custom made dress.
DeleteAll brides have a budget.....perhaps her sisters wanted to spend less on a dress and more on something else?
DeleteMy daughter is getting a custom made dress that is costing the same as a pre made dress. Custom does not mean more expensive.
DeleteI can only agree with the comment that Tori is STUNNING. The wedding looks amazing from what we see so far. Even though we may have to wait for the pics, I wish they would release the names of the wedding party. That would be interesting to me. Tori's flowers are fabulous, the girls' dresses, everything I could see so far. Thanks for posting. Tori made the perfect choice to wear her hair up.
ReplyDeleteTori is so beautiful thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, for sharing the pictures, Ellie! Praying many blessings for
ReplyDeleteTori and Bobby now and always!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I'm so happy for them. Praying for the Lord's blessing on their marriage.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tori and Bobby. Tori is a beautiful bride. God Bless. Wishing you a life of happiness and love.

Tori's bouquet looks kind of different. It looks too large, white and round for her dress style. I wonder if there was some personal reason she choose that style? It just didn't seem to look right.
ReplyDeleteIt stands to reason that she chose the bouquet simply because she liked it. It may not look right to you, but that doesn't really matter, does it?
DeleteMaybe she didn't even choose the bouquet style? Doesn't Kelly's sister usually do the flowers for the wedding? I discussed my bouquet with my florist before the wedding, and I was shocked at how huge it was when I showed up at the church. At the end of the day, though, it really didn't matter. We got married in a meaningful ceremony, surrounded by friends and family.
DeleteReally? Personally I thought it was gorgeous. To each their own I guess.
DeletePer haps they were artificial flowers; Alyssa had them for her wedding. I agree, the bouquet was too white and too round for her beige gown.
DeleteI didn't like the white flowers against the beige dress, but the dress was beautiful and flattering!
Delete@anony. 12:10--- the white flowers were too white against her beige gown.
DeleteEverything is so beautiful Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your beautiful pic's with us. Such a lovely couple, love the Bates Family, you are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations
ReplyDeleteIs the dress whitest the top then beige at the waist and skirt or does it just look that way. Pretty though
