Paige and Ree have kept fans up to date about wedding planning in recent monthsRee Drummond's daughter Paige Drummond is married!
On Saturday, May 17, the 25-year-old daughter of the Food Network star married David Andersen in a ceremony in Oklahoma.
Paige and the construction engineer officially tied the knot nine months after announcing their engagement in August 2024.
Ree, 56, documented the occasion on her Instagram Stories and her website. Among the photos shared included one image of Paige getting her hair done, and another that showed Ree doing the same.
The star also shared a snapshot of her dress. "I love a puff sleeve," Ree wrote alongside a selfie that showed off her purple gown.
Paige's big day came after she and her groom revealed that they'd secured their marriage license on Wednesday, May 14.
At the time, she shared a selfie of the couple in front of the courthouse holding the important piece of paper, writing, "Let's do this thing."
Ree seemingly confirmed the wedding date and venue earlier in the week. She did so by sharing a photo of the picturesque outdoor site on her Instagram Stories. In Ree's photo, the sun beamed down on the landscape.
"This exact weather would sure be nice this Saturday evening at approximately six o'clock," she cheekily captioned the photo.
A few days before the nuptials, Ree also shared a photo of her daughter hard at work in the field.
Paige has previously shared some insight into her and Andersen's love story in a blog post on her mom's website. She said that they went to different colleges but shared "a lot of mutual friends."
The couple got together in July 2023 after going out on their first official date together at a steakhouse. Andersen met the rest of the Drummond family that fall, and Paige confirmed that it went off without a hitch.
"They've always trusted me to choose a good guy," she said about her parents, noting that her now-husband perfectly fit the bill.
Last summer, Paige revealed that she had caught the bouquet at a friend's wedding, saying that she believed Andersen had already decided to propose but that he "kept his cool" to preserve the surprise.
Although they've been an item for nearly two years, Paige added that she and Andersen haven't lived in the same city. That will change after the wedding, and they have plans to stay in Dallas together "for a few years."
"The ranch is always going to be here. I think it's where we want to end up long-term," she admitted.
Ree has also shared some details along the way.
"We're getting to the stage where we're finalizing the ceremony program, figuring out the seating chart, coordinating transportation…and pulling up Accuweather about six times a day to see how the wedding day forecast has changed. 😅😅😅 Will we have 40 mph wind gusts or a perfect still evening? Will we have hail? Will Ladd keep the cattle (and manure and flies) out of the South Big South until after the wedding? Will the basset hounds hear the commotion and crash Paige's wedding like they did Alex's? Only time will tell," she wrote in a post on Instagram.
She continued, "So for now, I'll just say I'm SO excited for Paige. She loves her fella and she can't wait to marry him, and that's all this mama really needs to know."

The latest Drummond family wedding comes over a year after Pioneer Woman fans were introduced to Andersen when Ree shared a January 2024 blog post about the family's trip to Colorado. Paige's significant other tagged along.
'Okay. I buried the lede. This is David. He's Paige's 'friend.' Not her friend, mind you,' she wrote at the time.
Ree added, "Her 'friend.' I won't go into detail because that's Paige's place to do...but the smile on her face might give you some idea of how Paige feels about her new friend. I mean 'friend.' I mean, I'm going to stop writing this caption now!"
Since Ree's announcement, Paige has continued to update fans on her relationship with the Oklahoma State University alum, whom she first shared a few Instagram snaps with in December 2023. The pair have since enjoyed a trip to Canada together, had a picturesque surfing date, attended a wedding with friends in Nashville and even teased their May wedding date in a photoshoot caption.
"May can't come soon enough! Forever and ever, honey! 🤍," Paige wrote in September 2024.
Paige's sister, the eldest Drummond sibling, Alex Drummond, was the first to announce her engagement to Andersen on her Instagram Stories in August 2024. Paige shared the news on Instagram the following day, alongside a photoshoot in which the pair shared a kiss and some champagne.
"I get to marry the love of my life," she captioned the post. "How is this real?? God's greatest gift to me and my person forever. I love you, David Andersen! I can't wait to be your wife!!! 🤍🕊️🫶🏼☺️"
In her blog post, Paige revealed that the proposal was a surprise and that the newly engaged couple celebrated with their families that night.
Ever since the big reveal, Paige has kept fans abreast with stages of the wedding planning. That included a trip to pick out her wedding dress, which occurred shortly after the announcement.
She shared more photos in a retrospective post on Instagram at the end of 2024, which she dubbed "my favorite year so far." In March 2025, she posted pictures from their joint wedding shower, which was attended by loved ones.
"Love you two so much!! ❤️❤️❤️ What a beautiful weekend," her proud mom gushed in the comments section.
Later that month, Paige went on her bachelorette trip to Charleston, S.C., which she described as the "ultimate girls weekend."

Paige and Andersen's wedding date comes a few months after some other major family news for the Drummonds. Back in December, Alex and her husband Mauricio Scott welcomed their first child, daughter Sofia Marie — officially making Ree a grandmother.
The Pioneer Woman star's daughter announced the birth of her baby on Instagram, alongside a gallery of black-and-white photos of the newly minted family of three. "At 2:27am our perfect girl made her arrival a couple weeks early, just in time for Christmas! We are so in love and forever changed," the couple's caption read. "Thank you Lord."
Ree also expressed her excitement in a blog post at the time, writing on her Pioneer Woman website that her new granddaughter is "perfect."
"I'm saying that with as much objectivity as I can," Ree wrote. "But I'm not kidding...she is perfect. Like, if you looked up 'perfect' in Miriam Webster, it would reference Sofia Scott, and maybe even show a photo of her. Although that would probably technically be an encyclopedia."
Alex and Paige are also siblings to brothers Bryce, 22, Jamar, 22, and Todd, 20.

When Will ‘South Park' Season 27 Return With Episode 3?

It's still unclear if South Park Season 27, Episode 3 will be on Comedy Central and Paramount+ this week. Trey Parker and Matt Stone's new season featuring Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny kicked off on July 23 with a controversial South Park-style skewering of President Donald Trump, then went on hiatus the following week. On Aug. 6, the show returned with its comedic crosshairs aimed once again at Trump, as well as Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Thanks to the Parker and Stone's blockbuster deal with Paramount Global worth $1.5 billion to produce 50 new episodes of the series over the next five years, South Park's new episodes are generally set to air on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Comedy Central on cable and stream exclusively on Paramount+ the next day. As of Tuesday, however, the South Park X account is still being silent about when Season 27, Episode 3 is coming out. Various press outlets have different answers about when the episode will air. Newsweek reported that Episode 3 won't air on Comedy Central until Wednesday, Aug. 20, while Esquire said it would air on Wednesday, Aug. 13. IMDb went with a completely different date, noting that Episode 3 will be airing on Friday, Aug. 15. Prior to the show going on hiatus for a week after the airing of Episode 1 on July 23, fans were treated to promo on X that indicated the show was returning on Aug. 6. On Aug. 5 the South Park account teased Episode 2, titled Got a Nut, along with photos of Noem and Mr. Mackay at an ICE raid and Cartman on his laptop in his bedroom. At some point — hopefully on Tuesday night or Wednesday during the day — Comedy Central and Paramount+ will confirm when Season 27, Episode 3 will air. Given that there's been no teasers for the new episode released yet, it seems likely that South Park is taking yet another one-week hiatus and return on Aug. 20 on Comedy Central and Aug. 21 on Paramount+. One thing is certain: Paramount+ has not been forthcoming with its release schedule for South Park Season 27, as an email to the show's PR team about its release schedule after the premiere episode went unanswered. 'South Park' Posted The End Credits Scene For 'Got A Nut' On Monday Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was the prime target of the mockery on the Aug. 6 episode, as Parker and Stone continuously poked fun at Noem by showing her face melting and shooting puppies — a reference to an admission in her book in 2024 about shooting her 'extremely dangerous' family dog. The most recent post on the South Park's X account happened on Monday, when the end credits sequence that wasn't ready for Comedy Central viewers — but made the cut on Paramount+ — was posted. The scene continues the episode's running gag about Noem shooting puppies. In the episode, the South Park version of Noem guided raids by masked agents of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Among the new agents recruited by ICE was South Park Elementary School councilor Mr. Mackay. The face-melting jokes particularly rankled Noem, who called the show's portrayal of her 'lazy' and 'petty.' On the other hand, Vice President JD Vance took his mockery in stride, responding to a South Park post on X by saying, 'Well, I've finally made it.' In the episode, Vance was part of a Fantasy Island scenario where President Donald Trump, wearing a white suit a la Mr. Rourke (Ricardo Montalban), greeted visitors at his Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida. Vance played Trump's diminutive assistant, reminiscent of Rourke's diminutive assistant, Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize). Look for reports on South Park Season 27, Episode 3 when the information is formally released by Comedy Central and Paramount+.

Frankie's Fabulous Italiano Opens in East Hampton

An East Hampton hospitality locale with frequent turnover has a new tenant. Frankie's Fabulous Italiano opened this August at 44 Three Mile Harbor Road, sharing an address with Drai's East Hampton, a Las Vegas nightclub that opened out east in July 2025. Last summer, the restaurant space was home to Manhattan transplant Little Charli's, which shared a space with the nightclub Common Ground East (which relocated this summer to 174 Daniels Hole Road in East Hampton). Previously, El Turco, a trendy Turkish restaurant based in Miami, served hot pink hummus out of the same dining room from 2022 to 2023. The space itself has a lauded history dating back over five decades, with previous tenants including nightclubs like Leo, Philippe, SL East, NV Tsunami, The Jag, and Mellow Mouth. Now, the space is split into a nightclub and Italian American eatery for guets to load up on chicken parm and penne alla vodka before dancing the night away. 'Frankie's Fabulous Italiano is where East Hampton gathers year-round to savor authentic Italian flavors, share wood-fired magic, and celebrate the spirit of the Hamptons, from summer sunsets to autumn harvests, winter warmth, and spring awakenings,' said Frank A. Cilione, owner of Frankie's, and longtime leader in various concepts previously at 44 Three Mile Harbor Road. The restaurant centers around a wood-fired oven, to create oblong Roman-style pizzas with three types of sauce (marinara, white, or spicy fra diavolo), all customizable with specialty topping options including burrata, spicy honey, truffle, ricotta, sopressata, portobello mushrooms, and more. A $125 Fabuloso Pizza runs 1 meter long (that's over three feet, Americans). Frankie's Fabulous menu also includes shareable apps, like zucchini chips and fried calamari, plus salads, including the signature house salad mixing romaine with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, artichokes, kalamata olives, and provolone cheese. Pastas are all under $30 and include crowd-pleasers like rigatoni pomodoro, gnocchi in vodka sauce with burrata, and linguine salsiccia with broccoli rabe, fresh garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, parmesan cheese. Heartier main dishes include chicken parmesan, for one, or served family style, and seafood dishes like pan-seared tuna with homemade pesto and cherry tomatoes plus grilled salmon with veg. A full bar offers classic cocktails, spritzes, beers, and several tiers of wine by the glass or bottle. Indoor and outdoor dining is available. Parking is also offered on site. Currently, the restaurant is open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday from 5 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 5 p.m. - 10 a.m. Reservations are available for groups of up to 12 via OpenTable. Delivery and pickup orders are offered via UberEats.
