From Antony and Cleopatra to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, history is full of love stories. �One of the most well known in the modern era is the story of music legends Johnny Cash and June Carter.

Cash and Carter first met backstage at the�Grand Ole Opry�in July 1956. �Both were accomplished singers in their own right, and Carter toured with Cash as a back-up singer for years. �No one knows for sure when their romantic relationship began, but it was not until 1967 that they could officially be together. �(Carter divorced her second husband in 1966, and Cash and his first wife divorced in 1967.)

When asked about the start of her relationship with Cash, Carter later said, ��It was not a convenient time for me to fall in love with him, and it wasn��t a convenient time for him to fall in love with me�� I thought, ��I can��t fall in love with this man,�� but it��s just like a ring of fire.�� �Cash and Carter were married in February 1968 and had one son together.

Johnny Cash and June Carter may not have been each others�� first loves, but what they had was�true love. �Cash often credited Carter with helping him overcome his drug and alcohol addiction. �The two were together for over 30 years and passed away just four months apart. �It truly was a love story for the ages.
