why didn't elvis asked linda to marry instead of ginger??

[elvisgal824]

I agree with Presley 31 on this. I feel like Elvis could have found someone to have a baby with if he really wanted one.

[presley31]

Lindas a goold Southern Girl....I would presume she may have wanted at that stage in the 70's to be married to the father of her children. I don't know for sure why they didn't have a kid, that may be a reason. Linda would be the best person to ask

I suppose be southern girl she had a rep to think off.

[MissyM]

He may have said he wanted a child but deep down, I don't think he did. Oh and I think Linda knew that.

[TCBnAflash]

he might have known about his piano player flirting with Linda or maybe he thought it was too easy and he wanted a challenge. I've read that he had no real motive of marring Ginger. He was always doing stuff like that. He was with Sandy Miller the last month of his life.
Ginger was more of challenge she would sneak out and go hangout with people of her peers.
I really can't stand Priscilla or Ginger in my opinion they are both evil dolls.

[Suzan]

at the time when he proposed to ginger, linda had already left him ...

apart from this, only ginger claims he proposed to her. this rumour AFAIK has never been verified by members of the MM oder others close to elvis.

i do doubt it. i guess after he got ripped off by priscilla he did not really think about another marriage any more, otherwise probably linda would he been the candidate.

hugs, ellie

I agree w/u Ellie on all points.

Who was Sandy Miller?

Who was Sandy Miller?

Elvis was NOT with Sandy Miller.
That was his fathers girlfriend.

[ricardo b. prospero]

I personally believe Elvis is not the marrying kind and his marriage to Priscilla was a big mistake. I don't think he will ever again get into the business of marriage after the tragic separation with Priscilla. He has learned his lesson well and simply flirting around to his heart satisfaction. He is one guy that does need a serious relationship with string attached. He is better off with just plain companionship with all those ladies around her.

[Getlo]

He was with Sandy Miller the last month of his life.

Which presumably explains why Ginger was there in his bed every night for the last few months ... including the very last night??

You're thinking of Mindi Miller ... and she was well off the scene by the end.

Wasn't Charlie Hodge the one who said that Elvis had cancer? I don't think that he is a reliable source.

I believe that Elvis told Ginger that he wanted to marry her. Why not? Linda had left him and Ginger reminded him a lot of Priscilla. I guess he wanted to make her something like Prizzy 2.0 and tryed to do it right this time.

My personal oppinion is that he should have stayed with Linda. I guess she really loved him because of himself and not because he was Elvis Presley.

Yep, Charlie said that in his book.......

Kathy Westmorland also claimed Elvis had cancer.

We are way here! It's supposed to be about Linda or Ginger.

(Elvis did not have cancer!)

[Lisarose]

I think he may have said that he wanted more children because Gladys always wanted to have Graceland filled with grandbabies. As far as Ginger - well, IMO, he was only trying to pacify her, her signature was on Elvis' will as a witness, & he didn't even acknowledge her in his will. I only say that to point out that because she was around when he rewrote his will, if he was seriously in love with her - he'd have included her in his will. I don't mean to imply that she knew anything about what was in that will - which she obviously was clueless.


I can't (& refuse to) believe that as romantic & sensitive everyone says Elvis was that he'd offer a heartfelt proposal in his bathroom to anyone in front of witnesses. Even a bathroom as nice as his own private one at Graceland! If it were me, I'd have thought it was another Elvis Presley joke - this time on me!

I think presley31 meant, when Elvis was with Linda for 5 years, why didn't he propose to her in that time?

According to Joe Esposito, Elvis was going to end it with Ginger, he stated in his new book, Straight Up, "Ginger was on her way out and Elvis was considering dating other woman"...

I have a question, what's so bad about Ginger? It is because she was very young? I did like Linda though and do wish he would have married her

[monk37]

good points, what was so special with ginger??, its not like she stood by him like linda did
?

she looked like she was the daughter of Debra Paget and Priscilla.

that's why she struck a nerve - physically, she was his type - but she didn't have the mothering personality that he craved

[monk37]

It's a good question!I never understood why either!Because the age,is nothing to do with love!For Me!And also for Me,was true love!

partly because she was so wrong for him

and mostly because many fans feel that she let him die - if Linda had been there, she would have checked on Elvis and found him sooner - if not in time.

it's not a rational belief per se - but someone has to be blamed and it can't be Elvis.....

[Erhan]

Elvis want to leave her Lind had no choise except left him she did everything for saveing him drugs an bad habits I thouth Lind, Red ,Sonny and Dave had same destiny same real reason...

[debtdbruno]

Did Elvis ask Ginger to marry him?

The MM seem to fall into 2 catagories over this.........

Realistically only two people know...........and one isn't here to say!!!!
