May 01

On May 1, 1967, the genuine Elvis Presley, King of Rock 'n' Roll, married his long-term lover, Priscilla Beaulieu, at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas, far from Graceland. There were no impersonators in sight, but there were members of the press who had been invited to a press conference by the star's management in between the tiny ceremony and the champagne brunch for 100 that followed. Despite being very low-key for a celebrity wedding, this was a memorable occasion. We recall the couple's big day in full 49 years after Elvis and Priscilla said "I do" (but not "I obey").
