Dolly Parton and their longtime husband Carl Dean first met each other in 1964. That was the same year that Dolly arrived in Nashville with aspirations of becoming a star. Dolly would quickly become a star, but she would also quickly fall in love. As Dolly was becoming a celebrity thanks to her new record contract, she was also making plans to marry Carl. The singer’s record label notoriously asked her to postpone her plans for marriage to focus on her career. Dolly pretended to agree but eloped with Carl in secret.

Dolly and her husband tied the knot in 1966, but it wasn’t until 50 years later that the couple finally had a lavish wedding ceremony worthy of their ever-enduring love. The occasion was their 50th wedding anniversary. This occurred in 2016, and it came alongside the public’s very first glimpse of Carl Dean. Carl Dean agreed to allow the vow-renewal ceremony to be professionally photographed so long as all of the proceeds from the photographs went to charity.

After finally being revealed to the public in 2016, Carl Dean has made sporadic appearances via his wife’s social media. Once such appearance came via a recent Valentine’s Day, which is Dolly’s favorite holiday to spend with her husband. Dolly believes that keeping her husband out of the spotlight has helped make the relationship last. However, she also likes to show off their happiness!
