Dolly Parton & Carl Dean – 52 Years
For Carl and Dolly, it was love at first sight. When she was just 18 years old, they met when he was 21; it was Parton’s first day in Nashville, and they met outside of a laundromat – their romance has the makings of a country ballad. The pair married two years later.
Only Parton’s mother, the officiant, and his wife were in attendance at the wedding. Although they don’t have children of their own, they adore spoiling their nieces and Parton’s famous goddaughter Miley Cyrus.
