- AP picked this one up so we thought we’d share it with you as well. Readers of the site saw Kevin announce that he got married…again…To Jen over this
past weekend in Vegas to celebrate his birthday. Here’s the big story!
LAS VEGAS – Silent Bob has said “I do” — for the second time.
Filmmaker Kevin Smith, who often casts himself as the verbally-challenged stoner in his raunchy comedies, renewed his wedding vows on Monday in a suprise
ceremony arranged by his wife as a birthday present.
Smith turned 34 while visiting Las Vegas to shoot one of his regular “Roadside Attraction” comedy segments for “The Tonight Show,” and found himself at the
city’s notorious Little White Chapel (where Britney Spears started her famously short-lived marriage) for some unexpected nuptials.
The first time Smith married his wife, Jennifer Schwalbach Smith, was in April 1999.
The writer-director broke the news about his re-marriage to fans on Wednesday via his website ViewAskew.com.
“What do you give the man who has everything? For his birthday? You give him a wedding. That’s right — I’m getting married. Again. To the same chick. In
Vegas,” Smith wrote. “I’ve been out in Sin City since (last) Wednesday, spending my days writing and my nights gambling with Schwalbach. … The whole
thing was a total surprise set up by my one, true love.”
Schwalbach, a former USA Today reporter, was featured in 2001’s “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back” as part of a team of sexy, leather clad cat-burglars.
Smith, a famous comic-book fan, also photographed her for Playboy magazine while she posed nude with a “Superman” look-alike.
About 20 of their family and friends flew in for the festivities.
Among the guests was his 5-year-old daughter, Harley, his producing partner Scott Mosier and his longtime pal Jason Mewes, who plays Silent Bob’s chatty,
foulmouthed “hetero life-mate” Jay.
