Before there was Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, or Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, there was Johnny Cash and June Carter.
It might have taken a little while for these two famous musicians to get together, but when they did, they instantly became the most epic love story in music history. Now, 10 years after the couple’s deaths — and just in time for Valentine’s Day — we get the very best reminder of how in love these two were.
In a poll conducted by the Daily Mail, readers chose Johnny Cash’s love letter to June on her 65th birthday to be the most romantic of all time. The beautifully written note beat out letters from King Henry VIII for Anne Boleyn; President Gerald Ford to his wife, Betty, after she was diagnosed with breast cancerJimi Hendrix to a mystery woman he called his “little girl.”
Check out the beautiful note below, as well as this awesome clip of the couple singing “Jackson” in 1967. Please SHARE to remind someone you love how much they mean to you!

Happy Birthday Princess,
We get old and get use to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes take each other for granted.
But once in awhile, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met. You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You’re the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much.
Happy Birthday Princess.
John
