ReplyDeleteEllie, do you attend all of the Duggar/Bates weddings?
ReplyDeleteI haven't been able to attend all of them, but I have been to some. Ironically, a few have been on days that I had already RSVPed to another wedding.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kelton and Josie on your upcoming wedding. Thanks gor being a great role model to my dsughters. Sending hugs from Pembroke NC home of the Lumbee Native Americans.
ReplyDeleteSo cool!! Josie is my favorite Bates. We were both born on the 4th of a month in 1999, both have curly hair, and both like style. I got engaged only a week after she did and am getting married in November. I can imagine she is pretty excited for the big day.
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting!
DeleteSure hope we don't have to wait for the new season to see wedding pictures. Josie will be a beautiful bride. Also hope we get a picture of Tori this late in her pregnancy. Kade's birth date is getting so close. God has blessed this family and I am thankful that we get to share some of their lives.
ReplyDeleteSo so happy for the two love birds and I will be saying a prayer for you and a rosary I hope you have nice weather
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet, we will say a rosary for you too :)
DeleteAs for the weather, it's unseasonably hot outside, but rain held off for rehearsal. Tomorrow will be beautiful no matter what since it will be full of Christ's love :)
