- Baylen Dupree struggles with managing tics caused by Tourette syndrome during her wedding rehearsal, causing unexpected outbursts

Baylen Dupree is struggling to manage her tics caused by Tourette syndrome as she prepares for her upcoming wedding.
“It’s, like, nerve city at this point,” her wedding planner, Shannon Wellington, tells Baylen and Colin as they stand before the minister, U.S. Air Force chaplain Andrew Lloyd. Baylen, in a pastel tulle gown, and Colin, in a navy suit, listen as she tells them, “It’s all happening.”
But when Shannon suggests that they stand with their hands clasped, explaining “this looks good in photos,” Baylen rears back with her fist and tells Colin, “I’ll fight you, bitch.”
The minister and Shannon continue speaking, ignoring the outburst. They discuss the plan for the ceremony, which includes two scriptures, until Baylen shouts “penis noir,” then, “Objection! No, bitch”—while shaking Colin’s clasped hands as he remains calm and non-responsive during the outburst.
The minister tells the couple that he’ll hold the book containing the vows, and Baylen holds Colin’s hands tightly, continuing to struggle with tics.
“I’m basically on high alert right now,” her mother, Julie Dupree, says in a confessional alongside her husband and Baylen’s dad, Allen Dupree.
“To see her feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated and stressed right now,” Julie shares, “gives me a little bit of concern leading into tomorrow.
