Baylen Dupree, the star of the reality show *Baylen Out Loud*, encountered a challenging wardrobe malfunction just before her wedding to fiancé Colin Dooley. The mishap, which involved the zipper of her stunning wedding dress, was highlighted in an exclusive clip shared by *PEOPLE* magazine.
The couple’s nuptials took place on 9th May during a lively ceremony in Warrenton, Virginia, attended by around 140 guests. As the finale of the series’ third season approaches, viewers look forward to seeing the special moments from the event, which Baylen described as “colourful, vibrant, and fun.”
In the *PEOPLE* clip that precedes the wedding festivities, 24-year-old Baylen is seen preparing to wear her long-sleeved, glittery ballgown designed by Hayley Paige. The gown, which is adorned with rhinestones, highlighted Baylen’s elegant style. However, the excitement quickly turned to stress as Baylen and her family grappled with the troublesome zipper.
As the minutes passed, the situation grew increasingly urgent. Baylen’s mother, Julie, openly expressed her rising anxiety, stating, “We’re all just sweating,” as attempts to pull up the zipper proved unsuccessful. Concern about the possibility of not having the dress properly zipped began to set in.
Reflecting in a confessional, Julie stated her panic level was at a “10,” as she worried about the dress remaining unzipped. Baylen, styled beautifully with loose waves and a sparkly tiara, began to mirror her family’s apprehension, confessing, “Very nervous in this moment. Very f—ing nervous.”
Despite the mounting tension, Baylen’s sister, Sammi, assured her that the challenge was not due to her fitting into the dress, but rather the stubbornness of the zipper itself. As the family worked together to solve the problem, their support was clearly a priority for Baylen amid the growing stress of her wedding day.
Baylen and Colin had envisioned a wedding filled with joy and support from their loved ones, which they achieved at their “fairy tale” ceremony. “What was most important to us was having as many people there as possible who love and support us,” Baylen said, reflecting on her aspirations for the day.
Fans of *Baylen Out Loud* eagerly await the two-part season finale, which is set to air on 18th August at 9 p.m. ET/PT on TLC. This episode promises to capture the couple’s journey to their wedding day, replete with heartfelt moments, amid any unforeseen challenges.
As the excitement builds for the airing of the finale, there is a palpable sense of anticipation surrounding whether viewers will see the resolution of the wardrobe dilemma and how Baylen’s bridal experience unfolds.
