Elvis Weddings In Las Vegas

What would a wedding in Las Vegas be without Elvis singing and performing the ceremony? But have you ever wondered why is Elvis the one that sets a crazy wedding mood and not any other singer or celebrity?

Elvis Presley at the age of 32 married a 21 years old girl, Priscilla Beaulieu on 1st May 1967. The couple met in West Germany in 1959, while Elvis performed his duty in the army and Priscilla’s father was working in the air force. At that time, Priscilla was only 14 years and a half. When Elvis finished his probation period he invited Priscilla to spend Christmas with him. In 1961, Elvis asked her father to let Priscilla complete her high school in Memphis. Priscilla moved next to him and in 1967 the couple got married in Las Vegas. This seems to be a very romantic story.

However, the wedding ceremony lasted 8 minutes and then was fallowed by a press conference and the wedding reception, where 100 guests were present. The first dance was, of course danced on “Love me tender”, song performed by Elvis. Elvis was probably the first major celebrity who decided to have a Las Vegas wedding, and although his wedding was what we can call a traditional one, with a beautiful white dress and a black groom’s suit, know Elvis weddings in Las Vegas make us usually think of unplanned events that just happen. Anyway, there are couples that plan an Elvis wedding in Las Vegas, but also if they are in other cities, using the whole concept as their wedding theme. And every chapel has Elvis weddings in Las Vegas in different offers and packages.

In the wedding packages here, in chapel such as Graceland Wedding Chapel and the Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel, Elvis will be the center of attention, at least after the bridal couple. He can walk the bride, he can assure the wedding music by singing famous Elvis songs, he can by in every photo, that are taken by a professional photographers and he can actually be the one to perform the ceremony, but you will be the one to decide how is your Las Vegas wedding is going to be.

A Elvis weddings in Las Vega can be bought romantic and elegant, as Elvis and Priscilla wedding was, but it can also be a totally unplanned event with a rented a rented wedding dress and the chapel witnesses. And this type of wedding can be also romantic after all, if you see it this way. However, there are no rules when it comes to a Las Vegas wedding and mostly when we think about an Elvis wedding in this city.
