The Day Priscilla Said "I Do" to the King of Rock and Roll

On a spring day in Las Vegas, May 1, 1967, Priscilla Presley walked down the aisle to marry one of the most iconic musicians in history—Elvis Presley. The ceremony was nothing short of magical, but there’s one detail the bride didn’t rave about: her wedding gown. Despite being head over heels for Elvis, Priscilla wasn’t exactly thrilled with her choice of attire that day.

According to an insider speaking exclusively to Closer Weekly, "Priscilla was absolutely smitten with Elvis, so the memories of their special day remain cherished and almost dreamlike. However, she wasn't entirely satisfied with her dress. While she adored her veil and makeup, the gown didn’t flatter her figure as much as she’d hoped. It seems she didn’t even keep it as a keepsake."

Priscilla had such deep affection for Elvis, but life was changing for both of them," the insider explains. "Elvis understood that Priscilla needed to grow and explore her own path. Despite the divorce, they remained close friends until his passing."
