It’s been 24 years since Food Network’s Ree Drummond aka the Pioneer Woman, married husband Ladd. Over two decades, later, the couple have four kids, a ranch and an empire.
The pair married on September 21, 1996 and Ree recently took to social media to share a never-before-seen image from their special day in honour of their 24th wedding anniversary.
‘I never got around to ordering my wedding photos. I’m an enneagram 7 like that. Anyway, I found this snapshot last week because Alex wanted to see my dress. It had a corset tie in the back with a little bunch of silk flowers at the waist. All business on the front, though. ? I love you, Ladd Drummond! Happy anniversary, and thank you for getting me pregnant within a week of this photo being taken,” the chef wrote on Instagram.

Ree and Ladd met during a girls night at a bar in her hometown, according to The Pioneer Woman’s website.
“When Ree headed out for a casual girls’ night in her hometown, her expectations were low,” it said. “She had just moved back from Los Angeles and was making a pit stop in her hometown of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, for a few months before moving to Chicago. Desperate for a fun time with old friends, Ree agreed to meet her childhood buddies at a local dive (and didn’t even bother to put on eyeliner before rushing out the door!). The only thing on her mind was a much-needed glass of chardonnay.”

They locked eyes at the bar and have been together ever since. They now share four children: Alex (23) , Paige (21) , Bryce (18) and Todd (16). Their eldest daughter Alex recently got engaged.
