Bringing Up Bates star Warden Bates has been celebrating his wedding with Kaybrie Patterson. The two tied the knot on May 5, 2026. Their nuptials were kept discreet by the Bates family. It was an emotional roller coaster for them, especially for Kaybrie, whose dad passed just a few days after her wedding. At this point, Warden and Kaybrie are back sharing sweet photos online. However, some fans think Kaybrie is already breaking some rules, and Kelly Jo may not be happy about it. Keep reading to see why.
Bringing Up Bates: Another Bates Wedding This Month
Aside from Warden and Kaybrie’s wedding, Isaiah tied the knot with Sarah earlier this month. It was also a secret ceremony, and there are only a handful of photos from the nuptials that circulated online. Isaiah has been rumored to be courting Sarah for quite some time. Their relationship was never confirmed.
Due to this, many Bringing Up Bates fans were surprised to see them already married. Many fans were also stunned by Sarah’s wedding gown in one of their photos. Some even said that Sarah is clearly following the Bates family’s conservative rules, and the newlyweds may continue Gil and Kelly Jo’s lifestyle through the years. However, things may be different for Warden and Kaybrie.

Warden’s New Bride Already Breaking Rules?
Some Bringing Up Bates fans on social media discussed Kaybrie’s recent IG Stories featuring photos from their wedding.
While many people commend Kaybrie’s wedding dress, some were skeptical about how Kelly Jo would take it, considering how revealing it was. Others recalled how some daughters-in-law must obey conservative dress codes. But it seems Warden and Kaybrie have decided to step away from such rules. Many also hope that Warden and Kaybrie’s newfound freedom will set a new standard for future Bates weddings.
