Shannen Doherty and Rick Salomon discussed their wedding, divorce, and sobriety

Narrating the story of their quick wedding, Shannen Doherty mentioned that she remembers having a conversation with Rick Salomon in the car. In this conversation, he reportedly declared they should get married, and the duo went to Vegas with one witness each.

Initially, Doherty had apprehensions about getting married without the presence of her parents, but they eventually made it to the wedding. Calling their wedding story "wild," Doherty asked Rick if getting married this way was normal for him because it felt weird to her.

After recalling their whirlwind romance and marriage, the couple addressed their divorce as well. Shannen Doherty stated:

"We got divorced because you had a little bit of a drug thing back then."

Commenting on their cordial relationship, Shannen Doherty stated:

"It may have been tumultuous at times in our marriage, but at the end of the day, I always loved you... You always made me laugh and smile, and sometimes you made me cry, but that's only when you didn't come because you were off doing other stuff. Not cheating, or any of that stuff, but other stuff."

Rick Salomon proceeded to mention that he has been proud of his marriage to Doherty and called her a part of his story that got him where he is currently. Salomon also mentioned that he loved Doherty and shared some wild times and bad times with her.

After parting ways with Rick Salomon, Doherty married Kurt Iswarienko in 2011, and her first marriage was to Ashley Hamilton in 1993. In other news, the Heathers actress is currently undergoing a new treatment for her cancer.
