Editing Elvis and Me (section)

===Marriage, family, and the Nancy Sinatra factor===
Elvis and Priscilla were married on May 1, 1967, in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]]. She wrote that being called "Mrs. Elvis Presley" sounded better than ''live-in [[Lolita (term)|Lolita]]'', ''teen heartthrob'' or the other labels given her in the past by some of the press. After the wedding ceremony, [[Frank Sinatra]]'s private jet flew them to their [[Palm Springs, California]] home. Being the romantic that he was, Elvis carried his new bride across the threshold singing "[[The Hawaiian Wedding Song]]", then carried her straight to the bedroom.

After a second wedding reception at Graceland for friends and Memphis locals, Elvis and Priscilla went to his ranch near [[Horn Lake, Mississippi]], where they locked themselves away for several days of much needed privacy. However, the press and the curious lined a fence on the property's perimeter and stood on the tops of cars to take photos.

While they planned on having children, Elvis and Priscilla had hoped to wait awhile, and Priscilla was not prepared for her [[pregnancy]]. She considered an [[abortion]], in part because Elvis had made derogatory comments in the past about "women using pregnancy as an excuse to let themselves go." Feeling insecure, she dieted to the point that by the time she gave birth, she then weighed less than she had before becoming pregnant. During Priscilla's pregnancy, she and Elvis made love passionately until she began hearing rumors about Elvis and [[Nancy Sinatra]], his co-star in the film ''[[Speedway (1968 film)|Speedway]]''. When Priscilla confronted Elvis about the stories, he dismissed them out of hand, telling her she was being overly sensitive due to her "condition" (pregnancy). However, six months into her pregnancy, Nancy Sinatra telephoned Priscilla and said she wanted to give her a [[baby shower]]. Priscilla was apprehensive about such a request coming from a woman she hardly knew, but Elvis convinced her to accept the offer. Priscilla went along with it and she and Sinatra got along well together. Everything seemed fine until a week or so later, when Elvis informed Priscilla that he needed time to think and wanted a [[trial separation]]. Devastated, she told him: "You've got it. Just tell me when to leave." She lived in agony for days, and Elvis silently changed his mind about the separation proposal. Two months later, their daughter [[Lisa Marie Presley|Lisa Marie]] was born in Memphis on February 1, 1968.
