Baylen Out Loud star Baylen Dupree is married!
The 23-year-old content creator, who documents her experience living with Tourette syndrome, wed real estate agent Colin Dooley, 26, on Saturday, May 9, at the historic countryside estate Airlie in Warrenton, Virginia. Approximately 140 guests attended the vivid and “extremely floral” celebration, which Dupree calls a “fairy tale” and Dooley raves was a “surreal” experience.
“What we envisioned for our wedding was something very colorful, vibrant, and fun. We want to throw the best party of our lives,” Dupree tells PEOPLE. “What was most important to us was having as many people there as possible who love and support us.”
For Dupree and Dooley, “the more color, the better.” They leaned into hot pinks and baby blues for their decor, and had eye-catching flower arrangements throughout their venue, which they were drawn to for its “indoor-outdoor aspect.” Dupree’s father, Allen, even custom-made a few items that “truly represent” the couple.

Dupree turned heads in a sparkly wedding gown designed by Hayley Paige. She walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of “Oceans,” and exchanged handwritten vows with Dooley at the altar.
“To us, marriage means choosing each other every single day,” Dooley says. “It’s about being best friends and teammates and going through every season of life together.”
Dupree adds, “It’s showing up for one another, no matter what, every day.”
After the ceremony, which was officiated by Dooley’s colleague, Andy Lloyd, guests enjoyed passed hors d’oeuvres and a queso fountain, the latter of which Dupree notes was an “absolute must-have.”
At the reception, guests dined on a buffet-style dinner featuring a macaroni and cheese station and a taco station. For dessert, slices of the three-tiered wedding cake, which was flavored lemon elderflower, cinnamon roll, and Funfetti, were served.

Other non-negotiables for the bride and groom were “great music” and incorporating their three pet dogs: Fluffy, Tootsie, and Pumpkin.
Two years after Dupree was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, she started dating Dooley in November 2022 after they connected on a dating app. Since then, their relationship has been built on “trust, growth, and a lot of laughter.” Dooley admires his now-wife’s heart and kindness while the TLC star says Dooley has “great qualities” and helps bring them out in her.
The pair announced their engagement on Instagram in February 2025. At the time, Dupree told PEOPLE, “We can’t wait to take you along on this journey — through all the ups, downs, and everything in between. But one thing’s for sure, we’re beyond excited for this next chapter of our lives!”

Now, the couple says what excites them most is “building a family together and going through life side by side.”
“We love the stage of life we’re in right now, and the fact that we truly do everything together,” Dooley tells PEOPLE, with Dupree adding, “Choosing each other every day is something that continues to excite us about our future.”
The next chapter for the couple will be centered on “growth and building something lasting.”
“It’s stepping into a new season where we continue to grow with one another and enjoy every moment along the way,” Dooley says. “It looks like a lot of fun.”
