Ree Drummond's Daughter Details Honeymoon 'Nightmare' Hours After Wedding
's daughter said "I do" this past weekend and now she's enjoying some surf and sand with her new husband, David Andersen–but it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows getting there.
Some 48 hours after the couple exchanged vows at the Drummond family ranch (the same site of Paige's sister Alex's wedding four years ago), Paige and David had driven back home to Dallas to pack before heading off to the airport for their flight the next day.
Unfortunately for the couple, they experienced what Ree called "every traveler's nightmare," David's passport was "nowhere to be found."

"We were supposed to leave on Monday morning, but David's passport actually dropped off the face of the earth," Paige explained in a May 21 post published by The Pioneer Woman.
The couple, who had booked their flights to Costa Rica months ago, were not going to make that flight on Monday and with the new rules regarding Real ID, changing the trip entirely to somewhere domestic wouldn't be so easy either.
Luckily, Paige had some guidance from Ree to help support her through the chaotic situation, writing in her blog that she "gave Paige a 100% guarantee that the second she was lying on the beach in Costa Rica, she'd laugh about this wrinkle."
Thankfully, mom was right.
According to the Food Network star, "a passport office in Dallas came to the rescue" and rushed David a new passport in 24 hours. The couple were able to re-book their flight for the next day, this past Tuesday, with Paige gleefully sharing a photo of their rings and passports from the plane in a now-deleted Instagram Story.
Paige later shared another selfie with David before they headed out to dinner, tagging their location and cheering that they had "made it!" In the hours since, the newlyweds have snapped a few more photos showing off their surreal escape, enjoying some much-needed peace and uninterrupted time together.
