14 DAY TRIAL // Third time’s a charm for Jennie Garth: the former “Beverly Hills 90210” star has married for the third time, to producer and actor Dave Abrams, in an intimate ceremony held on her California ranch. The video below includes some overhead photos of the ceremony.
Jennie and Dave met last year on a blind date and fell for each other quickly. They were engaged in April this year, and are now wife and husband.
A beautiful, emotional ceremony
The wedding ceremony and reception took place at Jennie’s ranch in Los Olivos, California. Entertainment Tonight says that they were simple and very elegant, with rustic elements combined with romantic ones.
The bride wore a dress with flowers on it and sheer long sleeves, and cried as Dave read his wedding vows. She walked down the aisle alone and was joined at the altar by her 3 daughters with ex-husband Peter Facinelli, who served as her bridesmaids.
The party continued on the premises, with guests including former “Beverly Hills” co-star Tori Spelling (who came alone, without her husband Dean McDermott), actor Miguel Pinzon and costume designer Erik Rudy.
The reception was small, with only family members and close friends in attendance.
As noted above, this is the third marriage for Jennie: she was married to Daniel Clark between 1994 and 1996, and then to Facinelli between 2001 to 2013. They have 3 daughters together.
The Peter Facinelli cheating scandal
For 11 years, Garth and Facinelli were regarded as one of the most solid couples in showbiz, especially after he shot to international fame in “The Twilight Saga” movies.
News that they were separated and getting a divorce shot like a bullet through the blogosphere, because no one expected this twist. There had been some rumors of marital issues, but they were discarded when they continued to put up a united front in public.
However, after the divorce announcement, Garth started hinting that the “Twilight” fame had changed Facinelli into a man different from the one she had fallen for and married years back. He did not deny it, so the tabloid media did some digging around and a new narrative emerged: he had cheated on her while away shooting and promoting the films.
Neither ever denied the cheating rumors, which was all the “confirmation” celebrity pundits needed.
As former co-star Ian Ziering (who apparently doesn’t age at all) puts it at the end of the video below, Jennie deserved to find love again, especially after all this heartbreak.
