Both aged 57, the Drummonds’ European adventure stems from a promise they made during their 29th anniversary celebrations last year. Ree revealed on her Facebook and Instagram accounts that the couple had made a pact to travel together for their 30th anniversary, after years of putting off such plans. “We had to shake on it because for almost three decades we had always found reasons and excuses not to go,” she remarked in her posts.
On September 30, Ree shared images of the two of them at the airport, ready for their long-awaited trip. In her light-hearted manner, she took a playful jab at Ladd’s choice of attire for their flight, contrasting it with her own comfortable outfit. While she opted for a zip-up jacket and leggings, Ladd donned a more formal collared shirt, blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a hat. “I tried to tell Ladd to wear sweats for the flight, but…” she jokingly noted in her Instagram stories.
Ree also referenced a prior social media post from their previous anniversary, expressing her hopes of being in Europe to celebrate their 30th year of marriage. She reminisced about their tendency to remain homebound, implying that it often resulted in missed opportunities for travel. Her caption included a playful plea for suggestions on where they might go, demonstrating her enthusiasm and commitment to making the trip a reality.
To further commemorate this momentous occasion, Ree dedicated a heartfelt tribute to Ladd on their anniversary. She shared a series of photographs capturing key moments from their relationship, starting and ending with images that encapsulated the essence of their journey together. “Sure, there’ve been some marvelous marital memories… I want to date him all over again when I watch him ride his horse,” she expressed, highlighting the admiration she continues to hold for her husband.
The post also included references to their family, with Ree emphasising that while they have shared many cherished moments as a couple, the true heart of their lives together can be found in their five children. The couple’s children—daughters Alex, 29, and Paige, 27, along with sons Bryce, 24, Jamar, 23, and Todd, 22—have been central to their lives, and Ree affectionately acknowledged this in her anniversary message.
Adding to their family legacy, the Drummonds are also grandparents to two grandchildren from their eldest daughter, Alex. As they celebrate their 30 years together, the focus on family remains a prominent theme in Ree’s reflections on their life together.
As the couple embarks on their European journey, Ree promised her followers that she would share numerous photographs from the trip, hinting at the romance and adventure that awaits them. Their journey, which has been years in the making, reflects not only their dedication to each other but also serves as a reminder of the importance of pursuing shared dreams.
Despite the challenges that life can present, the Drummonds’ story is one of resilience and affection. Their ongoing commitment to one another, as showcased in their public declarations of love, provides inspiring insight into a partnership built on mutual respect and warmth. With 30 years behind them and new adventures ahead, the Drummonds continue to prove the value of love and family as they step into this exciting new chapter of their lives together.
