Aside from both being singers, Naomi Judd and her husband, Larry Strickland, had very similar upbringings. Judd even once told Closer Weekly, “We come from common backgrounds,” and having large, Southern blue-collar families brought them closer together. The two who married in May 1989, according to Hollywood Life, were just about to celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary together.
Strickland, who was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, was trained in gospel music and joined J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet in the 1970s. According to his website, through his time with the Stamps, Strickland got to record and tour with Elvis Presley until his death in 1977. Two years later was when he would meet Judd.
While the two would not walk down the aisle for another 10 years, their ceremony was a family affair. According to The Boot, Judd’s daughters, Wynonna and Ashley, were both bridesmaids alongside their mother, while Wynonna also performed for the happy couple during the ceremony as well.
