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

[Donut]

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!!!!

I think I have said this not long ago, but there is an interview in which Vernon says he knew Elvis had proposed to Ginger. So it's probably true.

[debtdbruno]

wonder if it was in a 'vulnerable' moment????

[dstrattenfan]

First off lets face it Elvis just wasn't the marring kind...

I believe that Elvis and Linda's relationship by it's end was basically platonic...She was many things to Elvis, (sometimes) Lover, sister, mother, friend, and nursemaid. I think they both realized that the relationship had developed over time to friendship rather than a physical relationship. . It is really hard to say what went one in their relationship, because Linda only speaks of Elvis in good terms..To me that shows she cared for him very much which is more than we can say about most of the people in Elvis's life. Sex was just one issue among many in their relationship A this point in their relationship he was so strugout he couldn't preform sexually. As we all know Elvis had issues with physical entamacy (performance anxiety if u will)l, and most people know sex is a BIG part of marriage.

Even If (and I mean if) he did propose to Ginger I am positive that it was just to shut her and her family up just like Miss Pris. Sometimes Elvis's promises were empty promises' Like billy Smith said Elvis would tell u anything he thought u wanted to hear just to get his way.

hmm, I read that Ginger said Elvis proposed to her in the bathroom... Was Charlie really there too?? Dovey

OMG!!!!!!!! really ?!!! why in the bathroom ?!!!!

OMG!!!!!!!! really ?!!! why in the bathroom ?!!!!

If l remember right he asked priscilla to marry him in the bathroom too. Elvis sure didn;t have anywhere private to ask with people in and out like flies.

I believe that of Elvis, that he would say what others wanted to hear. Look at the time when he was recording the 68 Special. Steve Binder said that Elvis agreed with everything the Colonel said was going to happen (which was the opposite of what Elvis and Steve had discussed). As soon as the Col went out the door he nudged Steve and said "We're going to do it exactly how we said" and laughed.

As far as Linda's and his relationship. A lot of marriages or relationships end up platonic. Friends have started off with all the good intentions people have when they marry and then years down the line they say they are more like brother and sister. they still get on and love each other but aren't "in love" anymore. Also Elvis met Linda just after he and Pris separated. I agree I dont think Elvis should have married at all - not the marrying kind - but I dont think he even had it in his head he would marry again right after the separation.

Also, was there some outside pressure from Gingers family?? I dont think they would have married either to be honest.

[Tony Trout]

I firmly believe that Elvis didn't ask Linda to marry him simply because he just didn't want to get married again - and that also includes Ginger. He wouldn't have married her, either. As someone else said in this thread, Elvis would say anything to anyone to appease them or make them happy or, to put it bluntly, shut them up.

I believe that Linda has stated in past interviews that she did , in fact, want to get married but Elvis just kept avoiding the issue.

[Diane]

I believe it is highly possible that Elvis did propose to Ginger but I don't believe he ever meant to go through a marriage with her.

Elvis might of asked her and gave her the ring but that doesn't mean he was going though with it. Ginger and him spent more time fighting than getting along with eachtogether. All you should read nancy rooks book if you want to know more about ginger. Nancy was there and seen it too.

[presley31]

Everyone have his personal thoughts and opinions,and this is My!
I believe in what Ginger said,in his Interview from May 2003,and I believe in what Kathy Westmoralend,said in a 80' Interview!And about fighting,well,in every couple happened that,but not mean,that they not love eachother.

Sorry Giorgia but we are going to disgree there. Ginger never wanted to spend anytime with elvis except when she was getting something. That is not love at all. Linda, pris and others put there lives on hold on for elvis and went everywhere they could just to spend time with elvis but ginger no she complained about everything and anything. IT also said that ginger was seeing someone else when she was supposed to be with her mother which she was caught by the mm and the maids when elvis told them for phone for her to come.

[Tommy]

Actually, the sad truth, we will never know who or when Elvis Presley would have married or not married again.

You are a 110% right! Ginger and her family were gold diggers from the start

Yes, I agree with you Diane, I think that ELVIS was in so bad psyhical condition that He only
sometime dream about ii

Yeahhhhh! Tommy, you have right

[Tommy]

Thank you.

I agree with you. They even sued Elvis's estate after he died because he had promised them things and didn't come through on those promises.

I know it just makes you sick to your stomach don't

[Diane]

I still tend to believe that it was Ginger's family who saw an opportunity when Elvis showed interest in her just as it was with Priscilla's parents. It's the way both women were brought up.....

True Diane. It was very much the man who was the breadwinner as it were, and as you say, how girls were brought up.
