Ree Drummond’s Daughter Paige Drummond Details Honeymoon Nightmare After Oklahoma Wedding

Ree Drummond’s daughter Paige Drummond just walked down the aisle with the love of her life, but the first 48 hours of marriage came with some challenges.

Paige, 25, wed David Andersen on her family’s Oklahoma ranch on May 17. The following day, the pair drove to Dallas where they prepared to jet off on their honeymoon in Costa Rica. A blog post shared on The Pioneer Woman website revealed that things got a bit complicated ahead of the honeymoon.

“While packing, David discovered that his passport was nowhere in sight. (Every traveler’s nightmare!) ‘We were supposed to leave on Monday morning, but David’s passport actually dropped off the face of the earth,’ Paige explains,” the post said, referencing Paige’s Instagram Stories. “Even though he had taken steps to put it in a specific place, in all the wedding excitement it became irretrievably misplaced (or lost!) Alas, they couldn’t leave on their scheduled Monday flight, which had been booked for months.”

On Monday, May 19, David got an emergency passport from an office in Dallas. Though they were a day late, they were able to jet off to their honeymoon on Tuesday, May 20. Paige snapped a photo of her and David’s hands holding their passports, sharing it in her Instagram Stories.

Once the couple reached their destination, Paige snapped a photo with her hubby in her Instagram Stories, writing, “Made it.”

With the passport chaos aside, it appears Paige and David’s wedding day went off without a hitch. The Drummond family gathered on the farm to see Ree’s second-eldest daughter with husband Ladd Drummond tie the knot. Paige and David felt it was the perfect place to exchange their vows.

“I couldn’t see it happening anywhere else,” Paige said. “It’s truly one of the prettiest places, and it’s so close to my heart.”

After doing some long-distance dating during their relationship, David revealed what he’s most excited for now that they’re married. “I’m looking forward to not having to say goodbye to her,” he said.

Both their ceremony and reception were magical! Paige and Ree teamed up with a wedding planner to brainstorm exactly how they wanted the wedding day to look.

“It’s nice to have somebody there who has similar taste,” Paige, who had 12 bridesmaids by her side on the big day, said.

“We literally got the wedding date figured out the day after I got engaged, which is hilarious,” she said about her and her mother’s excitement for the big day.

One of the things Paige and David decided was to forgo doing a first look. Instead, the first time the groom saw the bride in her dress was when she walked down the aisle.

“I wanted to have that big moment of seeing him and him seeing me when I walked down the aisle,” Paige explained. “I wanted it to be really special and emotional.”

The mother of the bride shared so many gorgeous snapshots from the big day on Instagram and her Pioneer Woman website, showing off Paige dancing with her dad, the newlyweds snacking on food at the reception, Paige embracing niece Sofia and more special moments.

“The best day of my life. I love you, husband!!!” Paige gushed on Instagram after the wedding.
