"Beginning Aug. 10, the CBS daytime drama will start airing the nuptials of Rick Forrester (Jacob Young) and Maya Avant (Karla Mosley), who is television's first transgender character to exchange vows. But like any soap opera wedding, the celebration will come with its fair share of drama!

In this exclusive clip, the wedding is interrupted when Maya confronts her conservative father Julius (Obba Babatunde) about his feelings toward her transition.

"I will not be publicly embarrassed by my own flesh and blood!" Julius exclaims."
