Connie Smith & Marty Stuart

Marty was just a little boy when he first met future-wife and Grand Ole Opry star Connie. His mom took him to see Connie live in concert in their Mississippi hometown. "She was my mother's favorite singer. We had a record of her at our house called 'Miss Smith Goes To Nashville.' It had a beautiful photograph of her on the cover. I thought she was the prettiest girl in the world, so I had my mama take me to buy me a yellow shirt, so Connie would notice me that night," Marty tells The Boot. "After the concert, me and my sister got our picture made with her and I got her autograph. On the way home I told my mama that I was going to marry her. I was 12 then. It took 25 years to figure it out, but it worked!" The couple married in 1997.
