Dad Walks Bride Down Aisle Before Passing
30 May
Summary
- Couple moved wedding so father could attend before his death.
- Father died three days after walking his daughter down the aisle.
- The couple plans a larger celebration in September.
Bringing Up Bates stars Warden Bates and Kaybrie Patterson recently tied the knot in an intimate ceremony. They made the heartfelt decision to advance their wedding date from September to May 5th.
This change was prompted by Kaybrie Patterson's father's battle with Stage IV colon cancer. The couple prioritized ensuring her father could fulfill the role of walking her down the aisle before his passing.
Patterson shared that her father was diagnosed three years prior and had been fighting the disease. The engagement occurred during this difficult period, with initial plans for a September wedding.
As her father's health declined, the couple opted for a private ceremony with immediate family. Patterson expressed profound gratitude for the "beautiful" memory of her father walking her down the aisle.
Tragically, her father became unresponsive the day after the wedding and passed away three days later. Despite this loss, Bates and Patterson intend to proceed with their larger wedding celebration in September.
