The couple, who began dating in November 2022 after meeting on a dating app, welcomed around 140 guests to their wedding, which Dupree described as “colourful, vibrant, and fun.” In an interview, she expressed her joy at the day, saying, “What we envisioned for our wedding was something very colourful, vibrant, and fun. We wanted to throw the best party of our lives.”
For their special day, they opted for a lively colour palette featuring hot pinks and soft blues, complemented by elaborate floral arrangements that added to the day’s fairytale atmosphere. Dupree’s father contributed to the occasion by custom-making items that symbolised their relationship, illustrating the importance of family and support to the couple.
Dupree made a stunning entrance in a sparkly wedding gown designed by Hayley Paige, walking down the aisle to an instrumental rendition of “Oceans.” The couple exchanged heartfelt handwritten vows, with Dooley sharing his interpretation of marriage, stating, “To us, marriage means choosing each other every single day.” Dupree echoed this sentiment, emphasising the importance of being there for each other through the ups and downs of life.
The celebratory atmosphere continued as guests indulged in an array of passed hors d’oeuvres and a queso fountain, a highlight that Dupree insisted was a must at their reception. When it came to the meal, a buffet-style dinner featuring a macaroni and cheese station and a taco station catered to the vibrant theme. The couple’s wedding cake, a three-tiered delight, offered a selection of flavours including lemon elderflower, cinnamon roll, and Funfetti.
Among the couple’s priorities for the wedding was a lively atmosphere, complemented by great music, and incorporating their three beloved dogs—Fluffy, Tootsie, and Pumpkin—into the day. It is clear that the couple shares a strong bond, rooted in trust and laughter, which they have nurtured since their relationship began shortly after Dupree was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome.
The couple’s engagement was announced on Instagram in February 2025, with Dupree expressing excitement about the journey ahead. “We can’t wait to take you along on this journey—through all the ups, downs, and everything in between,” she stated, conveying their enthusiasm for their future together.

Looking ahead, the couple aims to embrace growth and create a lasting bond, with Dooley highlighting the importance of enjoying every moment together. “It’s stepping into a new season where we continue to grow with one another,” he remarked, suggesting that this journey will be filled with joy and new experiences.
In addition to her personal milestones, Dupree continues to use her platform as an advocate for awareness surrounding Tourette syndrome, with a considerable following on social media. With over 12.5 million followers on TikTok and 2.7 million on Instagram, she aims to dispel misconceptions and inspire others with her story.
Dupree is keen to share her wedding day with her audience, hoping that the love and joy felt during the celebration translates to viewers when it airs. “I hope the love, excitement and celebration is something viewers will feel when watching it!” she expressed eagerly.
