Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood's road to holy matrimony was a long one.
It took Brooks one divorce and Yearwood two failed marriages before they were able to
take their friendship to the next level.
Their bond as husband and wife may be unbreakable, but it's also a little unorthodox.
Let's check out some of the odd things they've revealed about their romance.
Just friends
Brooks and Yearwood met in 1987 while recording a demo at songwriter Kent Blazy's studio.
Yearwood was paid ten bucks, while Brooks walked away without a dime, according to CMT.
But he did receive something invaluable: a fateful first meeting with his future wife.
The two hit it off, but Brooks was married to his then-wife, Sandy, and Yearwood was
married to Chris Latham.
Even so, Brooks told Ellen that when they first met,
"I felt that feeling like when you just meet your wife."
By 1999, Yearwood had divorced her second husband, Bobby Reynolds, and by 2000, Brooks
and Sandy had called it quits after 14 years of marriage.
With a solid foundation already laid,
"We were in a position of knowing each other as friends before we ever went on a date."
Yearwood and Brooks were officially hitched by 2005.
All in
It seems like the only place Brooks wants to be is right by Yearwood's side.
In a 2014 interview with People, Brooks told reporters they were:
"...looking at the luckiest, most blessed guy on the planet."
On the heels of their 12th anniversary, iHeart Radio reported that Brooks said,
"It could be a hundred and twelve [years of marriage] and it would still feel the same.
Every day is like the first day for me.
Everything from the way she smells to the way she talks.
Just things that never get old."
If that wasn't sappy enough, it gets even better.
While visiting The View, Brooks joked,
"I introduce her as the love of my live everywhere we go.
She introduces me as her current husband
Haha
So you can see how the relationship kinda works."
Pop music duo
They might dominate the country music charts, but when it comes to the tunes they enjoy
during their downtime, this pair is a fan of pop music.
For Yearwood's 53rd birthday, Brooks surprised her with an impromptu trip to Louisville,
Kentucky to see Bruno Mars, live.
Gifting their fans
Yearwood and Brooks' commitment runs much deeper than their devotion toward each other.
The country superstars have spread the love by footing the bill for a newlywed couple's
Hawaiian honeymoon:
"Where do you wanna go on your honeymoon?
No idea?
I'll tell you what, if you go to Hawaii Ms Yearwood and I will pay for it."
And they also sent wedding gifts to another set of fans, according to CBS News.
Jude and Jamie Blanchard attended Brooks' Louisiana show while holding a sign that read:
"Best Week Ever.
Garth this Friday, our wedding next Friday."
When the singer spotted the sign in the crowd, he serenaded the couple with the song "To
Make You Feel My Love" and the couple passed a wedding invite to Brooks on stage.
Soon thereafter, the newlyweds reportedly received gifts, including a KitchenAid mixer,
from none other than Brooks and Yearwood.
Pet name
Yearwood revealed to Today that Brooks' nickname for her is the "Queen."
"We've been married for 12 years...we've known each other for 26 years, you can call me Tricia,
like, it's cool."
And the name has famously appeared on Instagram, in captions like this one from the 2016 CMA's:
"Standing next to the QUEEN makes any day a great day."
Making it work
It can be difficult for two successful working stars of the music industry to spend quality
time together, but when Yearwood and Brooks tied the knot in 2005, they made a pact to
never be apart.
Brooks was retired when they walked down the aisle, but Yearwood was still working.
In an effort to be by his side, she told Parade she cut her tour dates down, and eventually,
she quit touring entirely and created a series of cookbooks and hosted her own Food Network
cooking show, Trisha's Southern Kitchen, so that she could have "something to do creatively"
at home without being away from her husband.
But when they do perform, they make an effort to hit the road together, too.
"When you're packin your bag to leave home and you're actually getting on the plane with
the man you're in love with to be together there's nothin bad about it."
The duo embarked on a joint three-year world tour in 2014.
Morning joe
Yearwood gets her caffeine fix every single morning without lifting a finger, thanks to
Brooks.
"This is my new mug you like it?
You don't care."
Yearwood told People,
"He gets up every morning and makes my coffee…
Right now I'm filming my cooking show and I'm getting up at like 6 o'clock in the morning,
and he doesn't have to get up at 6 o'clock, [but] he gets up and makes my coffee."
But Brooks doesn't even drink coffee, according to Huff Post.
This guy sacrifices his sleep just so he can make a cup of joe for his beautiful wife.
Now that's what we call true love!
