Until very recently, Shannen had been seeing actor Judd Nelson, interestingly enough, it was through Nelson that she met his friend actor and singer Ashley Hamilton (b. September 30, 1974).
On September 24, 1993, "Beverly Hills, 90210"‘s actress Shannen Doherty, aged 22, married her brand-new boyfriend of two weeks, Ashley Hamilton, 19, the son of actor George Hamilton and his first wife, Alana Stewart, in the backyard of her rented Santa Monica Mountain home.
The wedding was a "bring your own beer" casualevent in which none of their parents were invited. Shannen’s mother, Rosa Doherty said simply that she and her husband, Tom were happy as long as Shannen was happy. “Shannen wanted to keep it private and personal,” she said. “That’s all I want to say.”
The previous day, on Friday morning, Sept. 24, Shannen called her favorite florist in Los Angeles’s Brentwood section. She placed a last-minute request for that evening: six separate arrangements of sunflowers and while flowers mixed. The occasion, the florist says he was told, was that “she was having some guests up.”
That same day. she went to work on the set of "Beverly Hills, 90210", and during a break, Doherty approached an art department staffer and asked him to come by that night and help decorate her backyard—for her wedding. “Boy, that was fast,” gasped the crew member, who, like others on the set, was aware that Doherty had only begun dating Hamilton within the past month. By sundown, word had somehow zipped through town, and a dozen reporters had staked out Doherty’s house on Mulholland Drive. By 9 p.m. a handful of guests arrived and drifted in through the front gates. It was a twentysomething L.A. crowd, from casual to grungy, toting six-packs and snack material. A white wedding cake was carried in atop a cardboard box.
As the assembled few watched, Hamilton and Doherty—who was barefoot and wearing a silk bathrobe—made their way through the backyard along a pathway of burning tiki torches, past bushes draped with twinkling lights and a swimming pool whose rippled surface was speckled with floating candles and sunflowers. “It was kind of a midnight Polynesian thing,” says one source. The procession concluded, vows were exchanged, and then the couple signed their marriage license in the presence of a notary public.
Hamilton father just laughed when he talked to longtime Daily Variety Hollywood columnist Army Archerd the following Monday. “I never told my parents when I was married,” he said of his wedding to Alana. But Alana, in Texas for a high school reunion, was said to be furious at the turn of events involving her son.
