27+ Celebrity Couples Who Withstood the Test of Time

Country music legend Dolly Parton fell in love with Carl Dean at first sight. Dolly Parton was 18 years old at the time, and it was her very first day in Nashville, pursuing her music career. Her future husband was 21 years old at the time. They met outside of a laundromat and sparks flew instantly. By the time two years had gone by, Dolly and Carl were married.

Surprisingly, very few people attended the wedding. Only Dolly’s mom, the preacher, and his wife were there. But it seems that the privacy paid off, because Dolly and Carl have been together for over 50 years now! Although they don’t have any children of their own, they love to spend time with their nieces and Miley Cyrus, Parton’s goddaughter.
