They do! They really, really do! Marc Markwell and Jennifer Rogers Markwell renewed their wedding vows for the seventh time over Valentine’s Day as part of Northstar California Ski Resort’s Ski, Tōst & Be Married celebration.
On January 22, 2014, the Markwells were set up by a mutual friend on a blind date. “We got engaged two months after we met and then married four months after that,” the couples tells The Knot.
“Marc asked me to marry him in London, England,” Jennifer shares. “He has asked me hundreds of times since then.”
