Maci Bookout MARRIES Taylor McKinney!

They do, Teen Mom OG fans! They really do! Despite horrible weather in Florida, as a result of Hurricane Matthew, Maci Bookout and Taylor McKinney went ahead and got married in Greenville on Saturday afternoon. The MTV star gushed over the ceremony and her new status in a discussion afterward with Us Weekly. “I am so excited because I don’t use the word ‘fiancé’ because I think it’s kind of silly!” Bookout told the tabloid . “So I’m excited to finally be able to call him my husband.” According to this same magazine, Bookout wore a Riki Dalal Haute Couture gown for the special occasion. The couple is familiar to those who watch Teen Mom OG online or on television every week. They share a 16-month old daughter named Jayde and a four-month old son named Maverick. Together, Bookout and McKinney also parent the former’s seven-year-old son Bently, who she created with with ex-fiance Ryan Edwards together. Us Weekly reports that Maci and Taylor wrote their own vows and exchanged them inside a beautiful chapel in front of about 165 of their closest friends and family members. The rustic-themed ceremony, which Bookout says was “very traditional” and “religious” was officiated by the 25-year old star’s pastor grandfather. “[It was] really special,” she tells Us. We’d have to imagine. What a cool personal touch. Ready for your first look at the newlyweds as husband and wife? Here you go: Here is what else we know about the Maci Bookout wedding: It took place at the Honey Lake Resort and featured floral arrangements by Missy Gunnels Flowers. The DJ was Barnaby Xaphakdy. In lieu of the customary layered cake, those in attendance dined on a tiered display of delicious doughnuts by Katie’s Cakes & Catering, Inc. Prior to the reception, Bookout and McKinney had their first dance to John Legend’s emotional 2013 ballad “All of Me.” We strongly approve of that selection. Originally a featured player on 16 & Pregnant, Bookout and McKinney had been dating for nearly four years when they got engaged back in January. The proposal was featured on the season 6 premiere Teen Mom OG, which kicked off in August. Where are they going from here? To the Caribbean for a honeymoon, Bookout tells Us Weekly. “We’re going for seven nights, eight days,” she says. “So eight days with no children and beer and a beach, it’s going to be awesome. I’d say by day five, though, we’re probably going to be missing the kids a lot! “But we’ll try to enjoy it.” We have a feeling they’ll succeed.

Sara Ramirez Comes Out as Bisexual

Sara Ramirez has made a major admission about her personal life: She is bisexual. The actress, best known for her long-running role as Callie Torres on Grey’s Anatomy, made this admission on Saturday in Los Angeles at the 40 To None Summit. This is what Ramirez said to those in attendance at the event: “So many of our youth experiencing homelessness are youth whose lives touch on many intersections, whether they be gender identity, gender expression, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, citizenship status. “And because of the intersections that exist in my own life – woman, multiracial woman, woman of color, queer, bisexual, Mexican-Irish American, immigrant, and raised by families heavily rooted in Catholicism on both my Mexican & Irish sides – I am deeply invested in projects that allow our youth’s voices to be heard.” Ramirez went on to say that she wants to “support our youth in owning their own complex narratives so that we can show up for them in the ways they need us to.” Following the appearance, Ramirez shared the quote on Twitter and Instagram. She also wrote the following: “#40ToNoneSummit #SpeakingMyTruth! Will post full video of speech soon! #ThankYou @TrueColorsFund #WomanOfColor #Bisexual #Queer #Immigrant.” In a separate Tweet, the beloved TV star added: ”#ThankYou @TrueColorsFund 4 the work you do 2 end #LGBTQ #YouthHomelessness & your support #Woman #Latinx #Bisexual #Intersectionality.” Ramirez is married to Ryan DeBolt. They wed in 2012. She came on board Grey’s Anatomy full-time on Season 2 of the ABC series. At that time, she served as a love interest to George O’Malley, but she eventually married a fellow female doctor a few years after George was killed in a bus accident. So this ended up being an example of art mirroring real life. The 40 to None Summit was named after the 40 percent of youth experiencing homelessness who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. The actress left Grey’s Anatomy after 10 years this past May, a move that surprised show creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes. “This one was different because it wasn’t a big planned thing,” Rhimes said at the Vulture Festival in NYC on May 22 of Ramirez departing. “I had a different plan going and when Sara came in and said, ‘I really need to take this break,’ I was lucky that we’d shot the end of the season with her going to New York.” We wouldn’t be surprised if Ramirez returns to the series at some point. We congratulate her on this brave announcement. She joins the following celebrities as stars who are out as bisexual: View Slideshow: 34 Bisexual Celebrities
