Second Chapter: The Greatest Love Story
While the story and the details of their dating life didn’t make much noise, their wedding surely did. According to Nelson, he knew that he had a gift for complicating things when it came to romance but marrying Annie was not complicated at all for him. In fact, it was about the smartest thing he ever did in his life.
Willie Nelson and Annie D’Angelo tied the knot on September 16, 1991 at Nashville’s St. Alouin Church in front of close family and friends. At the time, the two already had two children, Lukas Autrey, who they welcomed in 1988, and Jacob Micah, who was born two years later.
But of course, every marriage has its own storms, and the couple shared a lot of those. One of the biggest ones was Nelson’s financial mess with the IRS. While for some couples, it could be the beginning of the end, Annie stood strong beside Nelson through everything and helped him out of it. She even helped him reduce his payroll and made sure his generosity would never be taken advantage of again.
