People Told Them They Were Too Young
Rhett and Akins got engaged just six months after he confessed that he was in love with her, and the couple got married when they were just 22 years old. There were many people who told the couple that they were too young to settle down, and that they would come to regret their decision. However, Rhett’s dad has said that it was obvious to anybody present at their wedding that they were truly meant to be together.
He Wrote a Beautiful Song Just for Her
While he has been a fairly prolific songwriter, Rhett realized one day that he had never actually written a song just about his wife. This was the inspiration for the song that ended up being a breakthrough for him, ‘Die a Happy Man.’ It won Rhett several awards for country music, and the music video features footage of the couple together, and it was shot in the same place in Hawaii where the couple had their honeymoon.
