Dolly Parton is one of the biggest stars of all time, and though she's opened up about many things in her life, she's managed to keep her marriage of more than 50 years on the down-low. But she recently shared some adorable anecdotes with PEOPLE about their relationship, including sharing that one of their first dates was at a McDonald's.

In the interview, Dolly said that she and her husband Carl Dean, to whom she's been married for 54 years, love a good date night and especially love a picnic.

"I'll cook the stuff that I know we love. And I pack it up in a picnic basket. And then we'll go find some riverbank somewhere with our little camper, park, have a picnic," she said: "Or we'll pull up to some little Days Inn motel, go in as long as the bed's clean and there's a bathroom. We just do our little things like that. Or I'll do a candlelight dinner. We don't make an issue of it."

Sometimes, though, Dolly said they do like to get fancy and though they prefer paper plates, she'll get the good dishes out.

"It's like certain days, you feel a certain way," she continued. "And I'll say, ‘I'm going to surprise him. And we're going to have real cloth napkins and real crystal. I'm going to put the real china out instead of the paper plates we usually eat on because we don't want to have to wash dishes.’"

I don't know about you, but I'm still thinking about that McDonald's date. They didn't expand upon it in this particular interview but in a previous article, she explained that their first date was a McDonald's drive-thru and said they still prefer picnics and smaller restaurants so they can fly under the radar.

“When I met my husband, he wanted to take me out to dinner. He pulled up to the drive-in window and got our food at McDonald’s,” she said at the time. “We know a few little places we can go without being bothered. He only likes to go places where he can be comfortable!”

I always knew the secret to a happy relationship was McDonald's French fries! You can read Dolly's most recent PEOPLE interview in full here.

If you just do not have the cash to go to Steak and Shake then McD's will have to do. ;)

You keep saying that, but Zulu is over 2 hrs of entertainment.
