- Oh, thank you. Hey, my name is Maci. I'm 16, I live in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and I'm a total overachiever. I get good grades, I play softball, and I'm even on the cheerleading squad. But don't let that fool
you, I do have a wild side. I'm all about dirt bikes. My boyfriend Ryan started chasing
me when I was a sophomore. I wasn't into him at first
because he rides four wheelers which to me are not cool but eventually he swept me off my feet. He even put a ring on my finger. (cheering) All my friends are psyched for senior year but I'm graduating early
and moving in with Ryan because I'm pregnant. (engine rumbling) Ryan, I think it's time. - Time for what? - We have to go to the hospital. (tires screeching) (tense music) (soft chatter) (tense music) Giving birth to my baby was the hardest thing I've ever done. I kicked and screamed through
over 30 hours of non-stop pain until finally.
(screaming) (baby crying) (bell tolling) Are you ready? - [Ryan] So ready. - [Announcer] Maci DeShane.
(cheering) - Thank you, thank you. (applauding)
(cheering) Bentley, he's ruinin' 'em. - He's not ruinin' 'em
but he's uncomfortable in this old stinky sweater. (upbeat music) (camera shutter clicking) - Benny. Hey, hey, Benny. Oh my goodness, it's kindergarten Bentley. Are you really big enough
to go to kindergarten? You think? (upbeat music) - We're gonna follow you up
to the entrance to the school and then we'll hang back.
- Okay. (grunts) All right. Benny, I cannot believe
you're goin' to kindergarten. - Then I'll know how to read. (upbeat music) - [Maci] Here. ♪ I'm feelin' higher than the sunrise ♪ ♪ Feelin' lovelier than midnight ♪ ♪ And I wouldn't change a thing ♪ ♪ I'm standin' taller now than ever ♪ - Should we tell them? - I guess so. - Sorry what, what are

- A week. Went to the doctor on
Wednesday and it's still early so, like, we're literally,

diamonds is in that thing? - I think 84. - Oh my god. It is so awesome 'cause it's so Maci. - I know, she's so non-traditional that. - That's non-traditional. - [Ryan] Yeah. - But hot. - [Ryan] Turned out perfect. - [Kiki] We're in cahoots. - [Ryan] Bunch of liars. - Are you freakin' out all? - Not yet but I probably will
be once we get down there. Hey, can I ask you something? - No way, babe! (uplifting music) Really? Oh my god. - [Ryan] Will you marry me? - Yes, of course. ♪ Even if the sky comes crashing ♪ Oh my goodness. Finally (bleep). - Okay, let's get started. So I know we're looking for
the perfect dress today. Can you tell me anything
that you're interested in as in style-wise? - The top can have beading and lace and things like that but
the bottom I want as plain. - [Blonde Bridal Assistant] Very simple. - And simple as possible. - Perfect, obviously
you will not be pregnant at the time of your wedding, so. - Yeah. - We'll definitely be
able to try everything on. - Yeah. - So at least we can talk about the fits and things that you like, too. - Okay. - So, come on over. - Oh, see that. (upbeat music) - It was like this kind of all the way down.
- All the way down, yep. Okay, let's move onto the next. Just hold the front here so you don't trip and we'll head right over
here to the platform. - I'm already tired. - All right, go ahead
and face the mirror Maci. - That top is gorgeous.
- Nice heavy breakfast. - That top is what, is you. - It is gorgeous. How do we like the scalloped bottom? - [Maci] I mean, it's pretty but I wouldn't choose the bottom. - Yeah. - Okay, let's move on to the next. Was it full skirt? - [Maci] It was very Cinderella. - [Blonde Bridal Assistant]
Uh huh and you loved that one. - [Maci] I, this is the one. There ya go, winner. - We decided this is the one.

Maci start opening gifts. (crinkling) - Oh, I like this. Oh yes, coasters. Thank you. Wait, what am I supposed to do? Try to get it off without breaking it? - [Keelie] If you break
a bow, it's a baby. - Let's break all of them. - [Keelie] Did you just
break one on purpose? - I'm breaking three on purpose. - [Keelie] That means you're
gonna have three more. It doesn't count the
ones you already have. - Yes it does! - No, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't work like that. Don't break any more. - Did you have fun? (chuckles) - For once it's not a baby shower. - I know. (laughing) I'm glad to be here. - Good. Are y'all coming to the wedding? - Yes, absolutely. - [Maci] Have you. - I've reserved. - I sent Ryan an invitation
but I don't know if he got it. - I'll ask him. - Hey Ryan. Thanks for coming. - Oh, you're welcome. - Thank you so much. - What's up man? - I couldn't keep up with
your vows, man, but I tried. - Nah, (bleep). - I love you so much.
- Oh congrats. - Thank you so much for coming. - Oh my god I wasn't gonna miss it. - It means so much to me. - [Photographer] Everybody smile. (upbeat music) - Smile at daddy. - [Emcee] For the first
time, Mr. And Mrs. McKinney. (upbeat R&B music) (cheering) - Hey, just real quick, while
we have everybody quiet. I got Maci one more wedding gift but I wanted to wait until now to give it so everybody could see it and, so, if we can go ahead and go with it. Maci, do you wanna turn around? - [Maci] Do I need to sit? - Hey Maci, this is the Josh Abbott Band and Taylor reached out to us and wanted us to play at your wedding. Unfortunately, we're
pretty busy on the road and we have another gig but we wanted to do somethin'
special for you guys. Congratulations and this is for you. - No way. (upbeat country music) You really got them to do this? (upbeat music) Yeah, love it. (upbeat country music) How'd you talk them into this? - I know some people. (upbeat country music) (screaming) (upbeat country music) - Good luck. (upbeat country music)
(shouting) - Do you know who she is? That's Ryan's girlfriend. (screaming)
(upbeat country music) (upbeat music) - [Taylor] Who's got the
crazy, let's go sky dive, yeah! (upbeat music) (muffled chatter) (upbeat music) - Oh my god that was (bleep). (upbeat music)
(whooping) That was the coolest (bleep) thing. - Big smile, gimme some. (whooping)
Yeah! (upbeat music) Gonna take a hug now, we get a couple. - That was so cool, yeah. - What'd you think about
your birthday present? - Let's do it again. I'm leaving tomorrow so I
wanna spend as much time with my family as possible. Did you do me some sticks? - Yep. (upbeat music) Oh, I almost stepped in fresh dog poop. - Everything is in dog
poop, you'll get over it. I leave for Nicaragua in a couple days. Well, what do you think
about me actually doing it? - Scary sorta. - Scary?
- It's gonna be scary. - Yeah.
- You're scared for me to go? - Yeah. - Well, you don' think I can make it? - Um, no.
- What? You don't think I can make it? - Uh uh, well, I'm kinda
worried about your partner, might tap out maybe. - Do you think my partner will tap out? - Maybe.
- You think if my partner taps out then
maybe I won't make it. - Maybe.
- Well, I can tell ya right now tappin' out is not gonna happen. Do you remember before T-Money moved here and really before I met him even but definitely before he moved here. It was just me and you.
- Uh huh. - [Maci] All the time, right? - Uh huh. - So, I can survive without a man. I promise. If you have great people in your life, that's just a bonus but what if the people in your life aren't that great and all you've got is yourself. And you need to be able to
count on yourself right? To keep ya happy. To help ya survive, you know? Whether I'm doin' it by
myself or with my partner. I'm not quittin' baby, okay? You gonna miss me?
- Mmhm. - Hey, trust me when I say, look at me. I promise I'm gonna miss
you a whole lot more than you're gonna miss me. (uplifting music) - We're welcoming our friend to the PCOS movement, Maci Bookout. (applauding)
(cheering) - Thank you. So, I was here for the
first advocacy day last year and we all come here and we're intimidated and it's scary and we
don't know what we're doing but this is your story. This is the things that you deal with. Remember all the women that aren't here. We're speaking for everyone
with PCOS, not just us. I'm glad my speech went
well and I'm heading over to Capital Hill with some
of the other advocates where I'm meeting with
my state congressman. He's on a committee that
can approve funding for PCOS so I have to get him to support our cause. - Ask him to cosponsor the resolution. - Okay. - Which makes September PCOS
Awareness Month, officially. - Okay. - There is also a bill that hasn't been introduced yet that calls for more research for PCOS so tell him why more research is needed. - Yeah, okay.
- Okay? (tense music) (cheering) We did it! - How did it go? - [Maci] Wonderful. - Yeah? - I got like a yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, like literally tell me what you need and he was writing them all down, the numbers for it. - Isn't that great? - [Maci] Oh so good. - I'm so excited. - Yay. - Yeah good job.
- Go us! - Yeah. - [Maci] All right.
