Ree Drummond’s daughter’s engagement party brought together familiar faces

The whole gang was there to celebrate Ree Drummond’s daughter Paige at her recent engagement party.

In fact, long-time fans of Drummonds The Pioneer Blog and Food Network show you may recognize some familiar faces.

Drummond shared the whole experience on her blog, posting photos of the happy couple and party guests. Some of those guests have recently appeared on her social media, such as her daughter Alex, who is currently expecting her first baby with husband Mauricio.

Of course, Drummond’s husband Ladd – also known as the “Marlboro Man” – was there to celebrate his daughter’s engagement. Fans know Ladd as a cattle rancher for generations, often appearing in the background of his wife’s social media videos during his workdays or sampling her recipes.

Stu left the show to go to college but returned to celebrate his cousin’s engagement. In honor of that moment, Drummond told a sweet (and slightly unwork-appropriate) story about how Stu helped her get pregnant with Paige in the first place.

“Considering that Paige owes her life to Stu, his presence was appropriate,” Drummond joked on her blog.

“When Stu’s mother gave birth to Stu, I visited her in the hospital and was so overcome with baby fever that I called Ladd on the way home and told him that I did, in fact, get pregnant that night,” she added. “And I did. Was that too much information?”
