Country star Alan Jackson married his high school sweetheart, Denise Jackson, on Dec. 15, 1979, when they were both just 18 years old. The year 2019 heralds their 40th wedding anniversary and an epic, four-decades-long love story.
Jackson and Denise first met in their hometown of Newnan, Georgia. Life headed into the fast lane after marriage; the couple started a family just as Jackson’s country music career took a flight into the stratosphere. And they haven’t looked back since.
