(30 May 1966 - present)
Carl Thomas Dean, Dolly's husband, was born on July 20, 1942. Carl met Dolly while he was riding around Nashville in a white Chevy pickup truck. The first time he saw Dolly, he just threw his hand up. That wasn't enough for him though. He drove back around, and this time stopped and got out of his truck and went to talk to Dolly. This all happened at the Wishy Washy Laudormat back in 1964. In 1966, Carl told Dolly that she was either going to have to move to the other side of town, or they were going to have to get married. After telling Carl that she wasn't going to wash dishes, clean up, and that she was still going after her dream to be a country singer, she agreed to get married. On May 30, 1966, Dolly and Carl were married in a church in Ringold, Georgia
Although Parton does not use Dean's surname professionally, she has stated that her passport says "Dolly Parton Dean" and that she sometimes uses Dean when signing contracts.
