When it comes to life's most memorable moments, nothing beats the joy of watching your child step into the next chapter of their life. For Ree Drummond, that moment came when she accompanied her eldest daughter, Alex, on a shopping trip for her wedding gown. In a heartfelt blog post, the star of The Pioneer Woman shared her experience of finding the "perfect" dress for her soon-to-be bride.
A Gown to Remember
Ree Drummond, the ever-gracious host of the Food Network's Pioneer Woman, couldn't have been prouder as she recounted the magical moment she and Alex found the ideal wedding gown. "We all loved it unanimously," the 51-year-old wrote in her blog post titled "Shopping for Alex’s Wedding Dress!" She went on to describe how the fourth dress Alex tried on was an instant favorite. "It was almost like we knew right away that it was The One," she reminisced.
Family Ties and Special Bonds
Shopping for a wedding dress is not just about finding the perfect gown—it's also about creating cherished memories with loved ones. Ree shared that her 23-year-old daughter Alex was so excited about her choice that she "immediately called the other two stores" they had appointments with and "respectfully canceled." Alex explained that she didn't want to take up their appointment times since she had already found her dream dress.

The day was made even more special by the presence of Ree's 20-year-old daughter, Paige, and Alex's future mother-in-law, Martha. Together, they traveled around Dallas, Texas, on Saturday, October 3, making the experience a truly memorable one for everyone involved.
A Day Filled with Laughter and Love
Ree captured the essence of the day in her blog, writing, "Things are gettin’ real!" She described the experience as one filled with laughter, love, and admiration for the "absolutely gorgeous" gowns Alex tried on. While Ree refrained from sharing any pictures of the gown itself, she did open up about the fun family memories they created. She especially appreciated the presence of Mauricio Scott's mom, Martha, making the day "extra special."
Ree sweetly wrote, "She just has her two boys, so Alex knew she would enjoy the wedding dress process." She went on to describe Martha as "a gorgeous, kind person" and expressed how wonderful it has been getting to know her. "We have fun together!" she exclaimed.
Looking Ahead to the Big Day
As Ree concluded her post, she expressed her excitement for the upcoming wedding. "The wedding dress is beautiful [and] it’s perfect for Alex," she said. "Patience will be tough over the next few months!" Ree, who also shares sons Bryce, 18, and Todd, 16, with husband Ladd Drummond, can't wait to give her fans more glimpses of Alex's special day.
Since Alex's engagement to her longtime love, Mauricio Scott, in early August, Ree has been over the moon. She shared lovely photos of the happy couple alongside a heartfelt message on Instagram. "These two are gonna have so much fun together," she wrote. "We love you, Alex and Mauricio!"
Alex also shared the exciting news, writing, "Still waiting for someone to pinch me?! Mauricio Scott is the sweetest picture of God’s goodness and provision. And I get to spend FOREVER with him!! I love you, fiancé!"
