James Van Der Beek's 1st Wife Remarries
Heather McComb, the first wife of late actor James Van Der Beek, married her longtime love, Scott Michael Campbell.
The actress, 49, shared a series of photos from her special day to social media on Sunday, May 31.
"Yesterday @scottmichaelcampbell and I under the covenant of God got officially married by my beautiful sister @essence_says [surrounded] by the people we love most in the world in our most favorite city Missoula, Montana," she captioned her photo dump. "Our hearts are full and humbled by all of the love that we were surrounded by. God is so good. Thank you to all of our family and friends who traveled from all over the country to be with us. Thank you Jesus the way maker miracle worker!"
The Party of Five star was married to the Dawson's Creek alum from July 2003 until March 2010.
Following his death in February, following a battle with colorectal cancer, McComb shared a touching tribute.
"I am heartbroken over the loss of beloved James," she wrote. "I am especially heartbroken for his incredible wife Kimberly, his beautiful children and his amazing family, Jim, Jared, Juliana and all of his family and friends who I know he loved deeply. This picture is from my 21st birthday. Dawson's Creek hadn't even aired yet. This is how I will always see James -innocent, kind and pure of heart."
She continued, "What a journey we shared over the years. I sit here in immense gratitude for the special connection, friendship and love that James and I shared that has endured through decades. I will treasure the last loving words we exchanged."
