An Engagement and A Courtship?

Before too long, Gil and Kelly Bates could be giving away three more daughters in marriage! Tori Bates, Carlin Bates, and Josie Bates are all in serious, marriage-minded relationships. In fact, they gathered their guys for a triple date in Downtown Knoxville this weekend.

The last official word was that Tori and Bobby were courting, Carlin and Evan were boyfriend and girlfriend, and Josie and Kelton were "special friends," but stay tuned for some exciting announcements!

Looking ahead to next Thursday's episode of Bringing Up Bates, Evan and Carlin will sit down with Gil and Kelly for a "large talk" to discuss entering an official courtship.

Tori and Bobby have said many times that their original plan was to tie the knot next May but that they could see themselves moving that day even closer. Also on next week's episode, Bobby will ask Gil a very important question.

Josie has just started her final semester of cosmetology school, and Kelton is already a college graduate.

If you had to guess, when do you think each of these Bates weddings will be?
