This was the best-kept secret in Hollywood," Priscilla once said. And she wasn’t kidding. To avoid turning their wedding into a media circus, the couple, with the help of Elvis' manager, Colonel Parker, executed a stealth operation that would make even a spy jealous. They relocated from Palm Springs to Las Vegas at the last minute, tying the knot in the private suite of the Aladdin Hotel’s owner, Milton Prell.
But here’s a fun fact—where Elvis and Priscilla said 'I do' is where Planet Hollywood now stands. The Aladdin Hotel was torn down in 1998, but its place in history remains intact.
Elvis, always the trendsetter, made a special request for their vows—he had the word 'obey' removed from Priscilla’s vows, a bold move for the time. And while Priscilla was out finding her dream dress—a simple yet elegant silk chiffon gown—she cleverly used a decoy groom to keep the press off her trail. Her dress was topped off with a three-foot veil, secured by a rhinestone crown, making her the perfect match to Elvis, who went to great lengths to ensure his famous pompadour stayed in place with the help of a support wire.
But the surprises didn’t end there. Elvis gifted Priscilla’s sister Michelle, the maid of honor, with a special ring designed just for her. And for their first dance, they didn’t choose the obvious 'Can’t Help Falling in Love,' but rather the tender and romantic 'Love Me Tender.'
Their wedding cake was a six-tier masterpiece, filled with apricot marmalade and Bavarian cream, and topped with royal icing and marzipan roses. And for those who couldn’t make it to Vegas, Elvis and Priscilla held a second reception at Graceland a few weeks later.
Their wedding outfits were so iconic that they were immortalized in a Barbie gift set by Mattel in 2008. And while many believe they renewed their vows in Hawaii, Priscilla has debunked that rumor, confirming they simply loved the islands for a getaway, not for another ceremony.
