  • Resumen

  • On May 1st in music history, one significant event took place in 1967 when Elvis Presley married Priscilla Beaulieu at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    The wedding was a private affair, with only a small group of family and friends in attendance. The ceremony was held in the hotel's Milton Prell Suite, decorated with candelabras and floral arrangements. The couple exchanged vows at 9:41 a.m., with the Reverend Rex Weddle officiating.

    Elvis, 32 at the time, had met Priscilla, 21, eight years earlier while he was stationed in Germany during his military service. Priscilla wore a beaded chiffon gown designed by MGM costume designer Priscilla Ann Beaulieu, which she described as "very simple, very elegant." Elvis sported a black brocade silk tuxedo and Western boots.

    Following the eight-minute ceremony, the newlyweds held a press conference and a champagne breakfast attended by friends, family, and business associates. The wedding cake was a six-tier yellow sponge cake filled with apricot marmalade and liqueur-flavored cream, topped with royal icing and marzipan roses.

    The marriage marked a new chapter in Elvis's life, as he had been living at Graceland with his parents and grandmother before the wedding. The couple's only child, Lisa Marie Presley, was born exactly nine months later, on February 1, 1968.

    Although Elvis and Priscilla's marriage ended in divorce in 1973, their wedding remains an iconic moment in music and pop culture history, forever linking the King of Rock and Roll with his one true love.
