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

In fact, longtime fans of Drummond’s The Pioneer Woman blog and Food Network show might just recognize a few familiar faces.

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

Of course, Drummond’s husband Ladd — aka the “Marlboro Man” — was there to celebrate his daughter’s engagement. Fans know Ladd as the multi-generational cattle rancher who often appears in the background of his wife’s social media videos during his work days or as he’s taste-testing her recipes.

Ladd’s brother and fellow cattle rancher Tim was at the engagement party, too, alongside his wife Missy. Both are frequent characters on The Pioneer Woman ranch. Fans might also recognize multiple grandparent figures, as Drummond’s parents and in-laws often made cameos on her show.

But perhaps the most surprising reunion was with Drummond’s nephew Stu, who made frequent appearances on her show as a child, and he even helped film the show in 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic caused The Pioneer Woman to temporarily dispense with their camera crew and enlist the children to film scenes for the show with their phone cameras.

Stu left the show to attend college, but he made his return to celebrate his cousin’s engagement. In honor of the moment, Drummond shared a sweet (and slightly NSFW) story about how Stu helped influence her to get pregnant with Paige in the first place.

“Considering Paige has Stu to thank for her life, his presence was fitting,” Drummond joked in her blog.

“When Stu’s mom gave birth to Stu, I visited her in the hospital and was overcome with baby fever to the point that I called Ladd on the way home and informed him that I was, in fact, getting pregnant that night,” she added. “And I did. Was that TMI?”
