Hi, friends! It's Ree, and it's 2:04 pm on Paige's wedding day. 😊 While I will plan an official post with photos from Paige's wedding (it will post on Monday!) I thought it would be fun to share a "first look" post here today and update you with photos throughout the evening and night! I have put together a small but mighty team of co-conspirators, including my sister Betsy and photographer friend Ashley Alexander, and we are going to upload photos here in real time. Check back throughout the evening. I will be eating, toasting, and dancing, but hopefully new photos will magically find their way here for you to enjoy all night long!
Paige and Anna, her maid of honor (Alex is matron of honor) checking out the ceremony chairs Thursday. The wedding team was brave to put them up early in the Oklahoma wind.
It’s a good thing David’s mom and I spent two hours on our hair for the wedding rehearsal! Wind gusts of 28 mph.
Paige and her bridesmaids are getting ready!
Let the hair games begin!
The rehearsal was perfect. (And windy!!!)
It’s gettin' real!
Flowers are happening all day today!
Rehearsal dinner. Both sets of parents!
Ladd laughing at Bryce’s toast.
Bryce is a comedian!
I spent two hours back combing and curling my hair and I wound up tying it in a knot because of the wind.
Last time Ladd and I were at a wedding rehearsal, he was in a neck brace!
Paige hugging Bryce after his special and funny toast.
She looks so much like Nan here!
Stuck in makeup chair!
Paige gave me this gift today. A pendant with Nan and Chuck on their wedding day (she is putting one on her bouquet) along with the most beautiful letter over ever received. 🥹
Wearing my hair up this year! It’s a wind thing!!
Writing this post. 😂
Paige getting ready!
My dress. I love a puff sleeve.
Ree Drummond is the founder of The Pioneer Woman and a lover of butter, basset hounds and life on the ranch! Ree started her blog in 2006, and now millions visit ThePioneerWoman.com every month for her trusted recipes and fun family stories. Here’s what she has been up to since it all began:
New York Times Bestselling Author
Ree has written two memoirs (Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, and Frontier Follies) plus nine bestselling cookbooks:
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl (2009)
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food from My Frontier (2012)
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: A Year of Holidays (2013)
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Dinnertime (2015)
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Come and Get It! (2017)
The Pioneer Woman Cooks: The New Frontier (2019)

Food Network Host
Since 2011, Ree has been sharing simple, family-friendly recipes—and the occasional kitchen prank!—on her award-winning show The Pioneer Woman, filmed right on Drummond Ranch. Ree is also a regular judge on Food Network competitions, including Christmas Cookie Challenge.
Founder, The Pioneer Woman Collection
Ree has been creating and selling kitchen and home products at Walmart since 2015 and she’s involved in designing every piece and pattern. The line now includes best-selling appliances (you have to see the floral blender!), plus hundreds of pieces of cookware, tableware, and more. Ree doesn’t like to play favorites but the Agatha print has a special place in her heart.
Restaurant and Hotel Owner
Together with her husband Ladd, Ree has opened several bustling businesses in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, including The Pioneer Woman Mercantile—a bakery, restaurant, and general store that draws visitors from across the country (many come for the biscuits alone!), P-Town Pizza, Charlie’s Ice Cream Shop, and The Boarding House, a charming hotel with eight different rooms decorated by Ree and Ladd.
Media Personality
Ree appears regularly on national TV shows like Today, Good Morning America and more—all while managing to keep flour off her shirt.
Wife, Mom and…Grandma!
Ree’s kids (daughters Alex and Paige and sons Bryce and Todd) are all grown up, and as of December 2024, Ree is the proud grandma of the cutest baby ever, Sofia Scott, born to Alex and her husband Mauricio. Ree still cooks for Ladd (and the kids when they’re home), and she also looks after a few mischievous ranch dogs.
Ree Crowned a Vanilla Yogurt Winner!
