Ellie Bates' Thoughts on Marriage


Are you ready for a good laugh? At Josie Bates' wedding shower, Kelly asks the guests to write down marriage tips. Evan the unmarried girls and ladies participate, and nine-year-old Callie Bates share some pretty wise advice. Eleven-year-old Ellie Bates is very serious about the tip that she contributes, and she has the women laughing hysterically. Find out what it is in the video below.

  1. We have 4 girls that we adopted. I'm getting ideas when they get married one day. Well y'all have a great day. Sending hugs from Pembroke NC home of the Lumbee Native Americans 💖😆

    1. Unknown- I'm an adoptive parent and our kids are now grown. Don't be at all surprised if the ideas or plans you have now for their future weddings are not embraced by your children when the time comes. They may not want much fuss and just want a simple private ceremony. Let them do the planning and take their lead. There's also the very real possibility that one or more may not want to ever get married and you'll have to accept that, too.

  3. It must be exhausting planning so many back-to-back showers and weddings. It's a good thing they seem to be a high-energy family. I'm perfectly satisfied with having just two kids!

    1. Evan and Carlin’s engagement is already history. Their wedding date is set for May 25th.
      Perhaps you were meaning you couldn’t wait for their wedding??

    2. They have not shown Evan and Carlin's engagement on the show yet. So yes, some of us are eagerly waiting to see their engagement

  8. A tea party with all girls/women for a bridal shower is not unique.

    1. I think it's unique for their family. Not unique generally.

  9. For those of you who can’t see the video but are dying to know what Ellie said, she says, “Don’t get married!” 😂

  10. I agree that a bridal shower with women only is NOT unique. It's the traditional thing to do..also, children usually do not attend. It is a time for the LADIES to get together and give the bride to be gifts for her household.

    1. At the many bridal showers I have attended there have always been children. Bachelorette parties do not.

    2. There were girls at my shower as well as ladies. Nothing wrong with including girls, especially if there are young sisters in the family like the Bates have.
