Story of Elvis and Priscilla Presley

The story of Elvis and Priscilla Presley is full of enough joys and heartaches to create an intriguing and interesting hit television series for years to come even to this day! Indeed, there have been Elvis and Priscilla movies in the past, and they’ve done rather well; so what makes their lives so interesting!

It obviously starts with the most sensual male rock and roll star ever to grace a stage, a gorgeous princess-like young woman whose beauty was really something to behold, and ends in a fairytale gone sour with a not-so-happily ever after ending.

Elvis met Priscilla Beaulieu while stationed in Germany in 1959, when she was 14 1/2 and he was 24. Talk about age difference! Things were a little different and more flexible back then when it came to age differences in the dating world; if this were to happen in today’s society it would seriously be questioned, investigated, and charges would probably be filed!

But the wonderful story of Elvis and Priscilla Presley was beginning to unfold; soon Elvis and Priscilla would spend time together every chance they got. Although Priscilla’s father objected to the romance at first, her mother talked him into allowing her to see Elvis, and he agreed on one condition; a midnight curfew!

Elvis and Priscilla would usually double-date and hang out with Elvis’ friends, and they pretty much kept their relationship “under wraps,” away from the public. When Elvis left Germany in 1960, Priscilla came to terms with the fact that her relationship with Elvis might be over, but to her surprise, Elvis stayed in touch with her.

When Priscilla was seventeen years old, Elvis talked her parents into allowing her to live with his father, Vernon Presley, and his stepmother in their Memphis, TN home behind Graceland. As the story of Elvis and Priscilla Presley goes, Elvis persuaded her to come over and stay with him regularly until she finally moved in for good!

In 1966, after seven years of courting, Elvis Presley proposed marriage to Priscilla Beaulieu with a 3 1/2 carat diamond to pledge his love! They were finally married on May 1, 1967, at a very private ceremony in Las Vegas. It is said that Elvis had always told Priscilla they were to abstain from intercourse until the day they were married even though they were very attracted to each other and engaging in lesser activity. This was probably true; exactly nine months after their wedding date, their daughter Lisa Marie Presley was born!

Elvis Priscilla seemed so happy at the time and those closest to Elvis say he was crazy about his little daughter, Lisa Marie. But by 1971, Elvis’ superstar lifestyle had taken its toll on the maturing Priscilla, and she was growing tired of many aspects of it, including his’ alleged affairs with other women. Priscilla fell in love with her karate instructor, Mike Stone, and saw her relationship with Stone as an escape from the life she no longer desired.

On October 9, 1973, the story of Elvis and Priscilla Presley came to an amicable end when their divorce was made final. Elvis and Priscilla shared custody of Lisa Marie, and they remained friends until his abrupt death in 1977.
