Dolly Parton & Carl Dean
It was the first time 18-year-old Dolly was in Nashville. She had met 21-year-old Carl outside of a laundromat, which makes one think of a country song. It was love at first sight, and two years later, they were married.
The few who attended the wedding were Dolly’s mom, the preacher, and his wife. During their 52-year-long marriage, the couple never became parents. But they didn’t hesitate to spoil Miley Cyrus, who was their goddaughter.
