With the Royal Wedding clogging up today's airwaves, we thought it might be nice to talk about the kind of couples you and I actually care about.  And so... our list of Country Music's Royal Couples.

To qualify, EACH half of the couple had to be a country music performer.  And just as important, they had to be artists who are widely respected.  We found seven couples that made the grade.  Here they are...

1.)  Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash.  And the world loved them almost as much as they loved each other.  (And they got married in a fever: "Jackson".)

2.)  Tim McGraw & Faith Hill.  They're so damn good looking they HAVE to be together.  (And they sure SOUND like they're in love:  "It's Your Love".)

3.)  Miranda Lambert & Blake Shelton.  They're sexy, they're hip, and they're funny.  (Here's a good example:  "Draggin' the River".)

4.)  Waylon Jennings & Jessi Colter.  Yes, they were country before country was cool.  (Such was their life:  "You Never Can Tell (C'est La Vie)".)

5.)  George Jones & Tammy Wynette.  You're grandparents loved 'em.  Loved 'em!  (Let's go old school, shall we:  "We're Gonna Hold On".)

6.)  Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood.  She writes cookbooks... he likes to eat.  (They put down their forks long enough to perform this:  "Where Your Road Leads".)

7.)  Vince Gill & Amy Grant.  The nicest couple in show business.  (Mostly, they sing well together, "House of Love".)
