Don Johnson has done the "I do" thing one more time.

The 49-year-old Nash Bridges guy swapped vows Thursday night in San Francisco with schoolteacher Kelly Phleger, 30, after a yearlong engagement.

With Johnson a local celeb--he films his Nash Bridges in the city by the bay--and Phleger a former debutante, their guest list read like a who's who of San Francisco high society. Billionaires Ann and Gordon Getty played host to the ceremony. Mayor Willie Brown officiated.

Hollywood was also well represented, with Johnson's Bridges foil Cheech Marin and Tin Cup pal Kevin Costner among the 75 in attendance; Robert Wagner played the part of best man.

After a Nash Bridges wrap party Friday, the couple will head off to an undisclosed location for their honeymoon.

Phleger, who teaches nursery school at a Montessori school on the Getty estate, is the latest in a long line of Johnson leading ladies. The ex-Miami Vice-man's been twice married to--and twice divorced from--Melanie Griffith, with whom he has a 9-year-old daughter. He also has a 16-year-old son from a four-year relationship with actress Patti D'Arbanville. Two earlier, pre-fame marriages were annulled. He also famously dated Barbra Streisand.

And before Phleger, Johnson was courting his then-18-year-old Nash Bridges daughter, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe.
