8) June 25, 2006 - Fellow Aussies Keith Urban and Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman were married Down Under in Sydney, Australia's Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick's Estate at Manly. They'd met in January 2005 at a gala dinner in Los Angeles honoring noted Australians. By summer they were dating — and a year later were walking down the aisle. Happily, in January 2008 they announced they were expecting their first child together and on July 7, daughter Sunday Rose was born.

9) May 30, 1966 – Who doesn't love a good mystery? Dolly Parton married Carl Dean in Catoosa County, Georgia, and to this day, he's managed to remain in the shadows publicly, with many of her fans wondering what her husband looks like. In 2006, they returned to the church where they first exchanged their vows to celebrate 40 years together.

10) October 6, 1996 - Tim McGraw married Faith Hill in Rayville, Louisiana, the day of his Swampstock benefit concert. Their relationship began earlier that year during a concert tour, so it's appropriate that nearly 10 year later, they toured again on their Soul2Soul II Tour. Incidentally, they had quite the guest list for their big day. Witnesses included Mark Collie, Tracy Lawrence, Jeff Carson and Mark Chesnutt.

11) December 10, 2005 - Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood said "I do" at their home in Owasso, Oklahoma. They'd known each other for more than 15 years and sung on each other's records, and Garth's public proposal on one knee remains one of the most enduring country images of 2005.

12) December 31, 1947 - Roy Rogers married Dale Evans at the Flying L Ranch in Murray County, Oklahoma. The two were already co-stars, but the union allowed them to travel many happy trails together on a daily basis. Oddly enough, Roy was late for the ceremony—he was detained putting out a fire started by a cigarette butt in another room. And, for the record, even though they spent plenty of time with their horses, Trigger and Buttermilk, she did not consider her flowers a "bridle" bouquet!

13) April 14, 1948 - Two months after leaving Bill Monroe's band, Earl Scruggs married Louise Certain in Gaffney, South Carolina. She became the manager of Flatt & Scruggs and had a huge role in putting bluegrass in an upscale light. In the ultimate demonstration of family ties, their sons—Gary, Steve and Randy—played with their dad during the '70s in the progressive band The Earl Scruggs Revue.

14) March 10, 2000 - Vince Gill married Christian singer Amy Grant in Nashville, with about 75 people attending. Amy took her vows barefoot, and six weeks later, Vince took her to the Grand Ole Opry, where she made her debut, duetting with her husband on "How Great Thou Art."
