Elvis and priscilla's wedding

[Diane]

I think they also lived in Connecticut Brian but won't swear to it. The only thing I can come up with that Priscilla and Elvis had in common was horse back riding.

Does anyone know what Elvis and Priscilla had in common?
If anybody knows would you please tell me

They both liked a hairy Hawaiian man named Mike Stone, in different ways of course...

And maybe it was my arrogance, feeling like I could have my cake and eat it too. Selfish I was, looking back. But then I thought that was what they wanted. Conflicting emotions, wanting the admiration, the fun, but trying to be sensitive to other people's feelings. It was hard to balance. It was my fault but it's too late to say I'm sorry.

Darling,
People did things then, as they do them still..people seldom change, time changes things somewhat I guess, so it's never too late to say you're sorry...and besides all that anyone who ever knew you or (Elvis)knows already that he is/was a sensitive, loving, gentle man regardless of the crap and garabage wrtten and said about him....I think it would be great if people who don't understand the King...got a real muthful of truth!
You are loved by the way....and I don't care who you are/were or may be...I love you and I understand everything you've tried to say..while some people laugh..I'm not laughing.

This is an interesting point that both of you have brought up. Why do parents do that to a child?? There was a very prominent family in Dallas and the entire city I think knew they were both adopted. Everyone that is except the 2 girls. They were well up into their 20's before they found out, and after that their relationship with their parents was strained until the day the parents died. That is so pointless!

Jen, why did your parents say they waited to tell you? Or did you find out by accident? I know they NEVER mean to hurt the child, yet it always does.

My mom told me she hid the turth cause she thought in her own way that l went though enough when l was just a baby, so she finally told me one night when we had a big fight and the turth came out and boy was l angry, but now l'am older l understand that she just wanted the best, but l turly believe you shouldn't keep those things hidden from children no matter what, for me it broke my heart and went though years of up and downs with my mom and wondering where l came from..nothing what priscilla went though.

It goes back to Elvis being a "nice guy" and a "pushover". I'm betting they told him how MUCH she wanted to finish school and graduate in the United States. He, being the nice-guy, said OK.

By George, I think you've got it Rosie!!!

Where is the proof or sources to what you say are true?? it seems to me there more Speculation than any turth in this thread. There is only one book that has all the informtion that have been saying and thats child bride and l would never take anything serious when david stanley has a hand in it.

Correction Jen...there is only "one" book that tells ONE side of the story...and that is Child Bride. But one must first decide whether or not they are going to believe what Pris has written or not! Personally, I took it with a grain of salt...since she has not been able to keep her stories straight thus far, who's to say that what's written is true???

Everyone realizes that Elvis only knew Priscilla in Germany from Oct. 1959-Feb,1960. In that time he had to participate in the military, spent his weekend leaves partying with guys and other women. He also send Anita a poodle for Christmas, Calls her to tell her he'll be home. Then it was 2 1/2 years before he let her visit. She gets there to live (a few months after that) and 5 months later he falls in love with Ann Margaret and has an affair. So I tend to believe Elvis that is wasn't that big a deal when he said it. I'm not saying that he wasn't very fond of her or didn't grow to love her, but he wasn't ready to marry her for some reason. And it sure wasn't this mad love like she tells in her book.
And as for that wedding night story, sound like someone got that out of a romance book. Come on now, think about it, I thought she was supposed to be a virgin that night. Ahh, so far no one has ever told me that their "first time" was anything like that. Not going to be graphic, that is stuff that happens in movies.

VERY well said Missy! And who in their right mind would possibly believe that she and Elvis lived together for that long and did not consumate the relationship prior to marriage??? Has anyone ever counted up the months between the date of their marriage and the date of Lisa's birth...? And I'm with you and Diane both on this "virgin" thing. I don't care how much you love or desire a man, the first time comes with a cost!

I couldn't have said it better. Truth. Support. Love. You know, your love and feeling proves our point, again, how fortunate we are to have you, that every day you are here, we are blessed. I love you.

[Tommy]

Yes, Tommy. That is true. Elvis was careful with what he said in an interview.

I would still like to know why Elvis would even bother with Priscilla after the army, if he did not love her? I mean, it would have been easy for him to not answer the phone, to have no contact, to not bother with her, period! They weren't even in the same country!

He could have easily said he had a girlfriend at home, which he did Anita Wood and just cut Priscilla off...

franny

This is true Franny, I think he loved her and found in her something he needed. I believe it was mental emotions between the two of them, that he coveted, he knew he could talk to her about what he was really thinking and feeling. He wanted her here that's for sure, no matter what! I believe he still wanted her to the very end.

Well, obviously Elvis needed Caller ID. He could have also used Call Waiting that way he could have juggled Prissy and Anita at the very same time.

Tommy....you are a hopeless romantic. Go back to the "tell Elvis NO" thread...that's a better indicator of what us ladies can really be like.

They make such beautiful books these days on how to explain adoption to a little one. Things like......of all the babies in the world we were lucky and able to choose you, things of that nature. And, the problem with hiding it is eventually it seems the child ALWAYS finds out.

[utmom2008]

Has anyone ever counted up the months between the date of their marriage and the date of Lisa's birth...?

You must have not been on a couple of weeks ago when this EXACT question was discussed for pages and pages.

Mike stone was one ugly dude that's for sure I don't know what Priscilla saw in him from what I heard he was actually a jerk. He sold his kiss and tell all story to an Austrailian tabloid for a few thousand dollars in 1980 I believe.
Elvis was way better looking and had a lot more money, I am a straight man and if I had to choose I would have picked Elvis. Does anyone know the reason why Priscilla and Mike Stone broke up in 1975. I had heard Priscilla cheated on him but don't know if that's true or the reason they broke up.
Does anyone know the reason?
if you could help me out I would appreciate it

[Diane]

I never heard if Priscilla cheated on Mike Stone or not Brian but Mike Edwards claimed she did. I would like to know too what broke her and Stone up. We do need more information on Priscilla's side to balance things out as I've said a few times before.

Hey Donut, I don't know anyone who made it to the alter a virgin, do you?

Does anyone know what Elvis and Priscilla had in common?
If anybody knows would you please tell me
I know they were different in a lot of ways but I bet there were things they had in common and things they both liked to do. I am just drawing a blank right now. anybody that could answer I would appreciate it.
Also Priscilla moved to many places while growing up, being an army brat and all. I was wondering if Priscilla actually said where she considers herself from
I know she was born in Brooklyn and spent some time in Austin Texas but I wonder if she considers herself a Newyorker, a Texan, A midwesterner. where does Priscilla consider herself to be from. If anybody knows I would appreciate your answer

In my humble opinion I think the connection was made in Germany, and it remained in his heart as that sweet young adoring little lady...she was down to earth and different than American girls...I have a daughter in law from Germany and they are extremly interesting, people who have been taught different values and who in my experience have better ones than we do.... sadly that didn't remain the case...
Elvis was away a lot, and Priscilla strayed a lot, out of lonliness, or learning the American way, I don't really know...they obviously had a daughter in common, animals, and a love unspoken..be it right or wrong..I doubt he ever stopped loving her, but I can't say the same about 'Cilla...let's just say she wasn't as much a fan of her husband as we the fans are. Sad, but true.
He became lonely, and the burden of everyone telling him what to do, what clothes to wear what to sing and not sing, movies that Col Parker forced upon him, that were far from his true talents...it's all so tragic, I would be tired, depressed and confused if I were in his shoes too! You might say, I actually have been... and it HURTS!

Hi Diane

Do you know who Mike Edwards says Priscilla cheated on Mike Stone with or does he not mention him by name?

[Diane]

Sorry no I don't remember if Mike named the man or not but I don't think so. The book is packed away so can't get to it to check. Hopefully someone else here has it handy.

WHAT????? Are you thinking that Prissy was a little German girl???? Learning the American way???? I guess it's a miracle then that she lost that German accent.

Go ahead and laugh your but off....you think you know things that you don't...I know things that you only wish you knew, so in the case of 'Cilla and Elvis and their "Connection" I don't think it matters much now does it... so
German? Accent? who actually cares except the people who are stupid?

[Genie]

Nope she didn`t grow up in the south but it different ages all over the world. i think col and vernon both said it wasn`t such a good idea for elvis to be with priscilla.

You know, I'm from Indiana and I was married at 16 and had a baby girl at 17
A lot of gals in the USA and Germany and everywhere else were 14 going on 24........so what? That's life.
