Elvis and Priscilla Wedding great footage
Looking Back at Elvis and Priscilla Presley's Las Vegas Wedding
After a seven-year courtship (the couple met while Elvis was stationed in Germany in 1959), the King would propose to his 21-year-old love, Priscilla Ann Beaulieu, with a three-carat diamond ring. It's ironic that Las Vegas is home to the Elvis impersonator wedding officiant, as Elvis and Priscilla would choose Sin City as the location for their May 1, 1967 "I dos." To throw wedding-hungry reporters off the scent of their pending nuptials, Elvis, Priscilla and their entourage flew from Palm Springs to Las Vegas by private jet at 3 a.m. At 4 a.m. the couple would secure their marriage license, and by 9 a.m. they were married!
The Presleys took to a Palm Springs home, now dubbed the "Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway" to celebrate their new union (you can still tour the Presley's "Honeymoon Hideaway" today), before heading back to Memphis and recreating their wedding day for friends and employees at Graceland.
