Loni Anderson was married Saturday to Bob Flick, a founding member of the 1960s folk group The Brothers Four.

The ceremony was attended by friends and family, including son Quinton Reynolds, who walked the "WKRP in Cincinnati" and "Nurses" star down the aisle. Reynolds is Anderson's son with Burt Reynolds, whom she divorced in 1993.

Flick met Anderson at a movie premiere in her native Minneapolis a few years after his group hit No. 2 on the pop charts with "Greenfields" in 1960. A local newspaper had sent her out to pose with the group as the "lucky young fan," an image that was used Saturday night as the couple's wedding poster, her publicist, Cheryl Kagan, told The Associated Press.

Anderson's granddaughters wore the same diamond hearts the actress wore in the 1983 movie "Stroker Ace," in which she starred with Reynolds.

Anderson, 62, plans to keep her maiden name.

She was a young 'un when she first met him and now time has brought them back together again.

Good Luck to the couple!

[Always Right]

In her day, she was a hottie.

"Anderson, 62, plans to keep her maiden name."

Can't really blame her - Loni Flick just doesn't roll off the tongue very well.

""Anderson, 62, plans to keep her maiden name.""

Must have also kept her maidenhead -- I see she's still wearing white, after HOW many marriages?

Without a doubt, the funniest episode in TV history!

Ah, a white wedding dress has nothing to do with virginity.

Absolutely my FRiend, lol!

Back in the late 80's I was working in a little radio station in North Florida and we could have given WKRP a run for it's money in terms of sheer zany, madcap adventures, everything from using a "Clapper" over an open telephone line to shut off the transmitter remotely, to the general manager accidentally announcing over an open microphone that some driver on an icy road had "hit a f***kin power pole" and knocked the station off the air momentarily, to running 6 hours of midnight to 6:00am pre-recorded programming using the audio track of a VCR tape on extended play, let me tell you it was a laugh-a-minute!

I see you signed up within 2 days of me, guess that makes us '03 alumni! :)

Obviously!

......nor "purity".....nor "truth in advertising"

I always thought Bailey (Jan Smithers) was hotter.

It's certainly up there, and certainly one of the funniest of the 1980s. There's only 1 episode of a TV show in the last 20 or so years that even comes close. It was an episode of "Fraiser" that had Fraiser trying to set up his new program directory with the housekeeper, but the PD was gay, and he thought Fraiser was coming on to him.

But I agree, and would easily say that the WKRP episode was the funniest episode on TV in the 1980s.

Hubba hubba!

Nah, it’s only been a recent (historical-wise) link between white dresses and virgin brides. White wedding gowns started when Victoria married Prince Albert in 1840. Then it became the trend for families to buy a white gown. That showed the family was well off enough to buy a gown that would only be worn for one day, due to the impractibility of keeping clean and laundering an all white gown.

Before that, wedding dresses were black (’Every married woman needs a black dress’) that would also be worn for weddings, christenings, etc, and often served as the burying dress. Families that had a little more discretionary income would often buy colored cloth, as many dyes were imported and pricey, indigo being a highly sought after color. Back then, blue was considered the color of purity (witness Mary’s head covering). Many brides before that were married in wool, homespun, linen, linsey-woolsey and sometimes a nicer fabric such as silk or taffeta, if they could afford it, but while the dress was made nicely and fashionably, they weren’t the white lace, fluffy wedding gowns of now.

Now THAT was interesting.....
Proving once again, that even an old dog like myself can learn something new........but unfortunately I’ll probably forget...

A good friend of mine, once told me the only good thing about Alzheimer’s - was that one can meet new friends every day....
