But season 2, premiering next month, will put the focus on wedding planning as we follow Michaella Bates and Brandon Keilen throughout their courtship, engagement and wedding process. And OKMagazine.com has exclusive details on the oldest Bates daughter's big day!

Michael, which is what her family calls her, and Brandon got engaged on April 13 after almost a year-and-a-half long courtship. His proposal was a scavenger hunt in various locations, which culminated in him dropping down to his knee and asking Michael to marry him at a scenic spot in Great Falls, VA. So romantic!
