I have always enjoyed that Gil is a man that shows his emotions, especially when it involves his children and grandchildren.

This was so special. It truly made me cry. Both pastors were amazing. I pray that many unbelievers watch this and get saved. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I love Trace's boyish laugh and seeing him be so happy. He sure found himself a sweet and beautiful bride.

My husband and I have been married just over 12years and have never gone to sleep without having a time of prayer . We even pray together even when it has been necessary for us to be away from one another we still make time to prayer and worship via the phone and FaceTime.
I encourage you to do likewise. Never go to sleep without praying for each other and asking Gods protection over you while you sleep.
May God richly bless you both.

Such a beautiful wedding. Prayers for an even more glorious marriage. What a blessing to have both sets of parents and grandparents in attendance. I love the idea of a unity plant versus the traditional unity candle or sand pouring. So unique. The music was beautiful too. Thanks for sharing. Blessings!

Its nice to finally see a bates wedding w/o editing from UP TV. Also nice seeing Gil officiating in full. Not a lot of people are fortunate to have their Dad be the Pastor for the wedding. Blessings to both of you.

Thank you for sharing your special day with us. It was so beautiful and God-honoring from start to finish. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Bates!

Thank you Trace & Lydia your wedding was so beautiful & Gil did a great job. That dress was incredible just gorgeous! Love the Bates Family! ❤🇨🇦

As I have watched these young couples join their lives together and the Bates family grow larger and larger, I find myself wishing that I had been fortunate enough to have a family like this. The product of a broken home, I grew up in an orphanage and never knew the love and closeness of a real family, never had the guidance of loving parents. And, I envy your choice to raise your family in the church, it obviously appears to be so vital in your strong loving family. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.

What a beautiful couple, a beautiful wedding and a beautiful tribute to a Godly marriage. God bless them with much happiness and health. ❤️

Congratulations. Such a beautiful wedding . I especially enjoyed Mr Bates advice around the three C’s .
May God bless you both

[vkmccable]

Gills marriage advice is my favorite. Truer words were never spoken. We have been blessed with 43 years of marriage and the 3 c’s are a cornerstone of a lasting relationship blessed by God. May the good Lord bless your marriage beyond measure Trace & Lydia. Congratulations ❤🙏🏻❤

That song when Trace came in, that is so totally him and suits him so much. Beautiful bride and wedding. The ring bearers looked so awesome and the flowers girls so cute.

[carolwhisenhunt]

Great wedding. Full of God, family and love. UP TV messed up when canceling the Bates. They will wish one day they hadn't. Such a Godly wonderful family. Watching Gil's face as each of his children came down the isle was priceless and Traces little giggle. Such a beautiful wedding with such amazing vows. Be blessed! Love the Bates.
