Lawson Bates and Tiffany Espensen
Today, nine of Gil and Kelly Bates' 19 children are married, and 10 are unmarried, but tomorrow, their married kids will officially be the majority. Family and friends have been arriving in San Diego, California, all week, in preparation for the wedding of Lawson Bates and Tiffany Espensen. The two will become husband and wife tomorrow (Thursday).

Alyssa's not going and I think it's great she set that boundary. She'd be traveling to weddings and showers all the time if she didn't. Travel is expensive. Good for her, that shows courage!
ReplyDeleteWhat? Where did you hear that? Instagram? I can't believe that she didn't go to her own brother's wedding. So sad.😥
DeleteWe don't know why she didn't.
DeleteIt makes a big difference when you have 18 siblings! It’s not as if she only has a few, like most people. They can’t possibly do it all.
DeleteShe said that herself in a post. Because she’s been to a wedding in November a wedding in December and family I love you day in February
DeleteAlyssa said her family wasn’t attending Lawson’s wedding due to the cost of plane tickets for six of them! She said it in one of her You Tube vlogs.
DeleteShe said that on her YouTube channel
DeleteAll the siblings and kids where at the wedding. Is something wrong with her. Her health, pregnancy or money problems?
DeleteAlyssa couldn’t go by herself? There’s nothing wrong with that unless John couldn’t/wouldn’t take care of the girls.
Delete3:38 It's really nobody's business why they didn't go.
DeleteThese two superstar yacht-marrying people could have paid to have their whole family fly in for free.
Delete@1:24-I think you are right!
DeleteWish you much happiness .may God bless you with many wonderful years together. Love from the Jacksons in Missouri
ReplyDeleteSo excited for you two to marry tomorrow.🤵👰🏻♀️💕 It's a little unusual to marry on a weekday but I understand it's cheaper than a weekend wedding too. Hope all 19 of Lawson's siblings are in attendance and some have a part in the ceremony as groomsmen and bridesmaids and some of his nieces and nephews are flower girls and ring bearers too. Can't wait to see the photos of the big day from People and US Magazine later on tomorrow/Friday online. Please post as soon as possible when photos are made available online from one of the magazine's. I've been anticipating this wedding for months as I imagine it will be the biggest in Bates history with 1,000 guests since Tiffany is an actress with celebrity friends like Tom Holland and Zendaya from Spiderman movie franchise (as she has acted a small part according to the internet in one of those movies).
ReplyDeleteI doubt they were concerned about the cost. Probably it was more about when the venue they wanted was available. After all they went to Italy to get engaged so they aren't pinching pennies or anything like that.
DeleteLawson and Tiffany have said that there will be about 200 people at the wedding. They said it will just be family and close friends.
DeleteActually, it’s a small wedding.
DeleteIf you watch their YouTube posts, they gave wedding info already. Less than 200 people coming, only a few of the siblings are in the wedding, and not all the Bates siblings are coming. California is a long ways to travel. Tiffany is also not an A list actress… hasn’t been in anything in quite a long time.
DeleteWhy would you invite 1000 people to your wedding? You couldn't possibly have the time to visit with each one at a reception. How do you write that many thank-you notes or handle that many gifts? Seems like a wedding that got out of control, between 2 people who think they need a large audience. Personally, I wouldn't bother going to a wedding with that many guests. It's too impersonal.

DeleteSo happy for you both. God's Blessings on your new lives together
ReplyDeleteI just wish you all were still on tv. I miss your show so much. I was looking forward to seeing the wedding and births. Congrats to you all
ReplyDeleteI feel the exact same way!
DeleteSeems odd to have a wedding on a Thursday but that's up to them. I know they can save money by getting married on a weekday. I do hope they gave some thought to how this weekday choice may inconvenience their guests.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding this site is almost impossible to leave a comment on. Good grief!
Lawson and Tiffany said they are purposely trying to make their wedding small and intimate. That might be part of why they chose to get married on a weekday. They anticipate having about 200 people at the wedding.
DeleteGuests are free to decline the invitation if a weekday wedding is inconvenient. I don't question someone else's wedding plans.
DeleteCongratulations, may you be blessed with many wonderful years together.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you both. Wishing you a long life together ❤ from Ohio
ReplyDeleteAwesome and Congrats! May 12th is my youngest daughters Birthday!
ReplyDeleteWeddings on the weekends are probably booked out for a long time after all the weddings that had to be postponed because of the pandemic
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing their honeymoon destination is Santorini, Greece. Any other guesses?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tiffany and Lawson. God Bless
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tiffany and Lawson hope you have many many happy years together!! God Bless. I wish your guys show was still on TV was my favorite show so we could see all the weddings.
