Did they ever get married? ANSWERED


Three episodes before the final refers to Don's bachelor party. And the final episode must have been filled with flashbacks. But no mention is made of a wedding in any of the episode descriptions. ? ?

Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance

It seems strange that they didn't, I remember that the Andy Griffith show ended with a wedding. But, it would have been an episode that wouldn't have lent itself to syndication if it was run out of order obviously.

Marlo Thomas has stated in a number of interviews that she did not want to end the series with a wedding. Ms. Thomas ( who was also a co-producer of the show) felt that it was important to show the audience ( especially women and young girls) that marriage did not have to be the only happy ending for a woman. Not only did Ann Marie and Donald not get married, they never even SLEPT together during their 5 year relationship!

IMHO, they got married.

They did not get married on air, and in my opinion, did the fans a real disservice by not allowing us to see the wedding. I mean, it didn't have to be elaborate, or it could have been the biggest wedding on TV! I secretly have always felt a bit "cheated"... oh well.

There's an episode where Don gets cold feet but they get back together. The last episode had them still engaged and Donald being dragged to some "feminist" event by Ann. So people can decide for themselves whether the characters got married. I always assumed they did. Getting married doesn't have to end a woman's career. These days, a lot of couples find that financially it's important for both people to be bringing home a paycheck!



This positively infantile preoccupation with bosoms!Terry-Thomas about US 1963.Hasnt changed much!
