Dave and Jenny Marrs Share Major Marriage Update After Going Through ‘Immense Grief’
Fixer to Fabulous hosts Dave and Jenny Marrs left fans emotional with their latest update on their marriage. The HGTV couple revealed that they renewed their wedding vows on their 20th anniversary with all five of their kids in attendance for the intimate celebration.
In a clip shared on Instagram on Sunday, April 20, Dave, 45, and Jenny, 46, held hands as their kids gathered around them. Jenny wiped tears from her eyes as the children stood next to her to commemorate the marriage milestone.
“‘You’re surrounded by your legacy,’” the caption of her post said. “This moment was, for me, the most sacred and special of our vow renewal ceremony and I’ll forever treasure this memory. (Thank you, @nicktogle for leading this. You did a beautiful job, my friend. And thank you @mike_davello for capturing it all on video for us to watch again and again).”
The family huddled together as they shared kind words about each other in the tender moment caught on camera.
Jenny also shared that the family was going through a difficult time before the vow renewal took place as they lost someone close to them.
“This was a very heavy and hard week as we waded through the dark and murky waters of immense grief. We unexpectedly lost someone very dear to our family and I considered rescheduling the 20th anniversary party I had planned to surprise Dave with last night,” she captioned a series of photos from the night of the vow renewal. “We were just too sad and too exhausted from carrying the heavy weight of grief. But, I also knew that none of this was a surprise to God. He knew we would be sad and He knew we could hold it all – sorrow and joy. This was the only date on our calendar that worked when I first started planning and I now know that it was exactly what we needed exactly when we needed it.”
“God instructs us to ‘Celebrate and Remember’ in the 13th chapter of Exodus and that’s what we did last night,” she continued. “We remembered the two giddy kids who vowed to love one another through both the hard and happy times twenty years ago. We remembered all that God has done for us and through us over the past two decades. We remembered His immense blessings and we renewed our sacred vows from a place of gratitude for time-weathered and life-tested steadfast love. And, we celebrated. We laughed with and hugged our people. We looked around at our tribe and thanked them for walking alongside us in this life.”
Jenny concluded the post by saying, “The thing about grief is it’s tricky. You can be so very sad and miss someone so deeply and you can also make room for joy and celebration. This morning, I’m holding all of it and praising the One who made sure that a boy in Colorado would meet a girl in Florida and that they would go on to build an abundant life together in Arkansas.”
“This life can be so hard and so beautiful and I wouldn’t want to do it with anyone other than Dave Marrs by my side,” she concluded.
