Alex and Mauricio are getting married on May 1, 2021, according to The Pioneer Woman. They plan to have the wedding on the Drummond ranch. Alex’s sister, Paige, will be the maid of honor.

Ree says her daughter found the perfect dress. She tried on about four gowns, but according to Ree, Alex knew right away when she saw the dress that she would wear it on her wedding day. Ree decided not to post pictures of the dress because she didn’t want to ruin the surprise for Mauricio.

“I can’t show you any more photos right now, but I can tell you that Alex found the perfect wedding dress, and we all loved it unanimously,” wrote Ree. “It was (I believe) the fourth dress she tried on, and we knew almost instantly that it was the one.”

Ree pointed out that she didn’t have any pictures of food in her Instagram collage. Family means the most to The Pioneer Woman star:

“All family. No food,” wrote Ree. “You’d think a piece o’ pie or a Twinkie or something would have wound up on my grid, but nah. Also, notice that I’m in only three of my top nine. I love my kids, I love what’s ahead for them, I love Ladd as we inch closer and closer to an empty nest. And I love you! I hope 2021 just gets brighter and brighter for all.”
