Tune in to UPtv tonight at 9pm ET/8pm CT for part one of a two part episode of Bringing Up Bates. As the wedding gets closer, Kelly and Josie Bates fly back to New York City to try on Josie's completed wedding gown.
When Josie returns to Tennessee, Kelly and the sisters throw her a tea party themed bridal shower. The gathering will likely end up running on Bates time, but once it gets started, all the guests have a lovely time.

And at the end of the episode, Evan kicks off his big proposal trip by surprising Carlin in Nashville at a recording studio.

But before he does that, he asks his mom to give him a dance lesson so he can share a special first dance with Carlin. Be sure to come back to the blog after the episode to read our written recap.
