American actor Anson Williams and his long-term partner Sharon Maharry are officially married. The news was announced via People Magazine, where the 73-year-old star revealed that the ceremony and reception took place in May 2023 in the backyard of their home in Ojai, California, which Maharry sold to him years ago.
Speaking about their intimate wedding, Williams said:
“Let's make it a wedding just where it's about togetherness with our friends. It's not over the top, but at the same time, it's memorable and special.”
The duo only had 150 guests in attendance at their down-to-earth wedding and his Happy Days co-star Donny Most was his best man. Remarking on the fact that their wedding took place at their home, Anson Williams said:
“I will tell people, ‘It's wonderful. Don't ever do it.' You have no idea the complexity that happens.”
However, Anson Williams dubbed his marriage to Sharon Maharry, who is 64 years old, as a "new beginning with energy and commitment and originality.”
In the pictures shared by the publication, Anson Williams looked dapper in a traditional black suit paired with a light blue shirt, while his bride Maharry donned a light blue dress with flowery embroidery. She completed her look with a tiara on her head.

“At this age, to be able to find that kind of full connection for the first time, and what that means — it's a miracle. I would trade my stardom, notoriety, all that bologna for Sharon in a minute.”
Sharon had similar thoughts in her mind after her husband of 35 years passed away. She told the publication:
“I just thought this was it. I’m a widow, this is who I am now.”
But things changed when the duo met each other. They took Maharry's daughter's blessing to begin the relationship and haven't been apart since. The duo initially met 13 years ago, but began dating only in 2019.
