DOLLY PARTON – CARL THOMAS DEAN

Country music legend Dolly Parton credits hard work for her success. One of the reasons behind her success is also a man who stood by her side for more than 50 years. She and her husband Carl Thomas Dean try to keep their relationship as private as they can but it’s no secret that they have a healthy marriage after still being together all these years.

They first met in 1964 just outside a laundromat in Nashville, and Carl said in an interview, “My first thought was I’m gonna marry that girl” and his second thought was, “ Lord she’s good looking!”. Since then, Parton said that it was the instant connection that drew her closer to Carl. They got married in Georgia with the cutest and simplest ceremony on May 30, 1966. As a celebration of their life and love as a married couple, they renewed their wedding vows on their 50th wedding anniversary back in 2016.、
