Behind the Scenes of Alex and Mauricio's Ranch Wedding on The Pioneer Woman

Before the wedding celebrations begin, Alex takes time with her father to wrap up some chores on the ranch, like herding and sorting the cattle.

Ree asks her foster son Jamar to walk her down the aisle at the wedding, so they practice at rehearsal.

Mauricio's parents generously host the rehearsal dinner where the fare is delicious Mexican food!

Alex, Ree and the bridal party are getting their hair and makeup done in the Lodge on the morning of the wedding.

Meanwhile, the groom takes a quiet moment to himself to read a letter his bride-to-be wrote.

Baker Amy Cullifer puts fresh flowers on the happy couple's gorgeous wedding cake just before the reception.

Alex wanted a bright and floral theme for the reception. It took a big team to get the infrastructure up in time for the wedding day, but they pulled it off perfectly.

Jamar walks Ree down the aisle for real this time. It was a little windy, but the weather was just about perfect for the big day.

Alex's sister, Paige, gives an incredibly sweet speech at the reception, and she's sure to tell the groom that he has "one hell of a wife!"

Alex and Mauricio take the first steps as a couple in their first dance.
