George Strait\u00a0may have\u00a0an amazing\u00a0country music career, but nothing compares to the love story he has with his\u00a0wife of 48 years,\u00a0Norma Strait. The pair\u00a0have known each other for almost their entire lives. The loved-up couple\u00a0eloped to Mexico in 1971, and just celebrated with close family and friends in Texas on return.<\/p>\n
