When Elvis and Priscilla married in Las Vegas on May 1, 1967, their fans around the world celebrated. Their union had been a long time coming, yet the timing raised questions. This was because exactly nine months later, Lisa Marie Presley was born on February 1, 1968, sparking talk that the couple may have tied the knot in a hurry.
Still, she admitted it wasn’t a traditional proposal, and the pressures of public image played a role. Living together unmarried at the time was heavily frowned upon, and with a baby potentially on the way, it’s no surprise some believe the wedding may have been more about timing than romance. However, the couple never directly addressed the rumors.
