Elvis and Priscilla get married

1st May 1967

More than seven years after they first met, Elvis and Priscilla get married in an intimate, private ceremony organised by Elvis’s manager, Col Tom Parker at the Aladdin Hotel, Las Vegas. The bride’s white dress, a demure, high necked, empire-line shaped satin design with lace and seeded pearl yoke and puffed sleeves was pure late ’60s. The veil was a huge cloud of the finest, barely-there organza, topped by a cute, diamond encrusted tiara in the shape of a mini crown. The King’s Queen. Her hair was a multi-story beehive, her eyes defined by thick black eyeliner and her lashes tarantualan – just how Elvis liked it. The groom wore traditional-meets-rockstar with a glistening black, deeply brocaded suit with satin revers, white shirt and large bowtie.
