Carlin and Evan have nailed down a wedding date! The two will become husband and wife on May 25th, 2019, which also happens to be one day after Alyssa and John Webster's five-year anniversary.

So far, all six of the Bates couples have been engaged between three and four months before getting married. When Carlin and Evan tie the knot, they will have been engaged for eight months. They started courting in August 2017 after meeting at a women's conference at Evan's church one year earlier.

    1. Maybe to give Carlin more time to mature.

    2. 3:30, your comment wasn’t very mature. Even if you feel that way you could practice a little restraint and decorum. She has matured much more in the last two years, and will continue to do so just like any other young adult. Some people just get there sooner than others.

    3. I agree 3:30. I think that was also stated on the show or in an interview.

  3. Perhaps his parents encouraged him to have a more "normal" engagement period. At least what most people have, although I am not exactly sure why.

    1. Probably so the could finish the school year, it’s not that complicated to guess.

    2. I think the reasons why many people have long engagements are: 1. Venue-lots of venues have a year long waiting list.
      2. Having a longer period of time to plan everything is less stressful since you aren’t running around trying to arrange everything as fast as you can
      3. Either the bride or the groom or both are finishing their studies and want to wait until they are working so they have an income

    3. And perhaps Carlin's parents encouraged them to make it a longer engagement too, so they can afford it. Josie just got married, so May gives the parents time to recover financially

    4. From a practical perspective, where I live, engagements are usually 6+ months because venues book up months if not a year or more in advance. Also, many wedding dress companies take months to fulfill orders. The Bates and Duggars seem to have better access to dresses given their "celebrity" status and relationships with certain retailers. Carlin and Evan will have beautiful lush backdrops for photos with a May wedding. Engagement is such an exciting time.

  8. I love that Evan and Carlin broke the normal timing and did their own thing. If I remember correctly Alyssa and John were married on Papa Bill and Mama Jane wedding date. Congrats to the upcoming Stewarts.

  12. MO- I think Evan and Carlin's parents might have been the driving force requiring the long engagement. Just by watching the show, it seemed to me like they wanted to get married ASAP. (when they first started courting) It will be an interesting new season in January! :o)

  13. This couple seems to have allowed a longer period of time for each steps of their relationship. I wonder if they plan to be married for a while before they have a baby?

    1. Tori and Bobby had similar timelines between meeting and official courtship and between courting and engagement. The reason they pushed their wedding up was due to Bobby's job.

    1. MO- Yes, I've wondered the same thing. I'm surprised that there hasn't been much said about what they do to earn money except that Evan sings with his family. :o)

    2. Evan is going to school for an electrician; however, it seems he's already working.

      Carlin gives piano lessons.

  20. Perhaps that is when both will be finished with school. I personally think it is more mature of them than some people gave them credit for. Hope they are happy.

  21. So excited for them! If I could've picked a month to be born in, I would've picked May!
