The Sweet Inscription That's On Chris Stapleton's Wedding Ring
Chris Stapleton is one of the biggest country music acts at the moment. He may be a new talent to some] but his career spans over a decade. Shortly after graduating high school, the singer left his hometown of Kentucky and hit the road for the city of country music — Nashville. Per Country Music Hall of Fame, Chris moved to Nashville in 2001 and the rest is history. The desire to embark on a songwriting journey came to fruition after meeting with local Kentucky songwriters and piecing together his future. "I didn't know they would pay you money to sit in a room and write songs for other people," Stapleton told CBS News in April 2016. Once he realized that could be a job, he admitted, "'That's the job for me. I gotta figure out how to do that.'" The famed singer then hit the road and shortly after landing in Nashville, the "Starting Over" crooner was discovered and had a publishing deal. "Four days later I had a publishing deal. Which is not — that is not anybody's story, but that's mine," he admitted.
Nashville proved to be the right decision for the multi-talented singer, as he met his now-wife, Morgane Stapleton, two years later. Their romance is one of the books as the pair have chemistry on and off stage.

A little bit," Morgane shared with Paste Magazine in August 2015 about how she met her husband. Eventually, Chris asked Morgane if she wanted to write a song with him on a Friday night and the rest is history.
The pair wed in 2007, nearly four years after meeting. Nearly a decade after their big day, Morgane revealed that she secretly engraved her husband's wedding band with "You Are My Sunshine," in honor of the song by the same name, per Us. The sweet tribute is just one of the many admirable things about the dotting pair.
The two have nothing but love and admiration which has grown over the years and often shower each other with adoring messages on social media. In fact, Chris shared a sweet tribute for Morgane's birthday in January.
