Wearing the same dress she wore nearly 30 years ago, and looking radiant as ever, she couldn’t be happier. She told People Magazine, “I am so happy and look forward to sharing my life with Stephen, who is an amazing man as well as a great father to my children.”
The private ceremony performed at the LDS Mormon Temple in Vegas marked a special date. Why was this date so important?
Wednesday, May 4 was the birthday of her late son Michael and her late mother Olive. Marie said, “It was important that both Michael and my mom were with us on this special day.”
This is Marie’s third time around in marriage. In 2007, her previous marriage to Brian Blosil ended in divorce after 20 years.
After sudden tragedies beset Marie, she is recovering in joy. Her ex-husband is now her new husband, and she has found love once again.
