Elvis first meets Priscilla, his future wife of 7 years to be, in November of 1959. Priscilla Ann Beaulieu Presley was born on May 24, 1945 in Brooklyn, New York to Navy Pilot James Wagner, whom was killed in a plane crash when Priscilla was an infant, and Ann Wagner. Priscilla was the only child to Ann and James. Her mother Ann remarried to Captain Joseph Beaulieu. In 1962, Priscilla had flown from West Germany to visit Elvis for Christmas. By 1963, Priscilla will have moved in to the Graceland mansion to finish her senior year of high school there in Memphis. It took a lot of convincing to her father that it was strictly schooling. He did not approve of Elvis and his rock n' roll ways. He had seen Elvis on T.V. and did not like his swinging hips and sexy motions. But with a little work, he finally said ok. The love Elvis had for Priscilla began to spark. In my opinion and probably a lot of other people's opinion is their spark began the moment they laid eyes on eachother. They became closer and more comfortable with eachother. Riding horses together. Elvis would sing to her. December of 1966, Elvis proposed to Priscilla and it couldn't be a moment too soon. Of course, without delay, Priscilla agrees to the proposal and so they started planning. On May 1, 1967; at 9:30 A.M.; Elvis and Priscilla are married at the Alladin Hotel in Las Vegas. Just after the wedding, they had a press conference and a breakfast reception. Then the couple honey-mooned for a week in Palm Springs. On May 29, 1967; The couple get back into their wedding attire and have another wedding in the trophy room of Graceland for family and friends whom couldn't be there in Las Vegas for the first one. During the summer of 1967, they announce Priscilla's pregnancy. On February 1, 1968; exactly 9 months from there wedding, little Lisa Marie Presley is born. Things started growing weary for Elvis and Priscilla. Elvis became distant from Priscilla. His moods began to change constanly and nobody knew why or when they were going to change. But, above all, he Loved his little girl. He wouldn't trade Lisa Marie for anything. By late 1971, Priscilla moved out of Graceland and took Lisa Marie with her. Of course, Elvis didn't want them to go and he asked them not to go; but Priscilla had her reasons. In July of 1972, Priscilla files for a divorce. This had shattered Elvis but he kept the Mystery Train rolling. Elvis began seeing Linda Thompson. This relationship would last until late 1976.
On October 9, 1973; Elvis and Priscilla appear in court to get their divorce underway. Priscilla then recieved custody of Lisa Marie but Elvis remained close to both Lisa Marie and Priscilla. Immediately after the divorce in late October, Elvis is hospitalized in Memphis. He is treated for medical problems possibly from his heavy drug use. Elvis was hospitalized many times after this point up until his death. His health began to decline, greatly.
Priscilla began seeing Mike Stone, a friend of Elvis and Priscilla. She was seeing him from 1972 to 1975. On August 16, 1977, Priscilla was working at her self-owned boutique shop. Her sister was to arrive at Priscilla's shop to go out to lunch together. She showed up, but with tragic bad news. Her sister set her aside outside the shop and told her that Elvis is dead. Immidiately, Priscilla was in denial. She didn't believe it was true. Before Elvis' death, there had been many rumors that he had died so she wasn't about to believe this one. Eventually she would have to. Priscilla had to leave work and headed home with her sister. When she ran up the steps of her home, she could hear the phone ringing. She was able to answer the phone in time. It was long-term friend and road manager for Elvis, Joe Espesito. He was crying histarically. He was saying that Elvis is dead and he's at the hospital right now. At this time, They already called his death. Immidiately, Priscilla became histarical, dropping to the floor and dropping the phone as well.

After Elvis' death, Priscilla began seeing Michael Edwards in 1978 but it was on and off. In 1985, she found Marco Garibaldi whom she is married to today. On March 1, 1987; Priscilla gave birth to Navarone Garibaldi.

Priscilla Ann Beaulieu Presley was a big part in Elvis' life. After Elvis losing his mother in 1958, a lot of his life went down hill. Some say that after his mother had passed, his life was never the same. When he met Priscilla, his life became whole again. He started coming out of his shell more often and opening up more. As known to just about the whole world, Elvis was a strange man. He lived a very secluded life. Even from his wife. Therefore, it made it difficult for Priscilla to stay with him. Although Elvis was a very different person and in a way, a dangerous person, Priscilla had always remained on his mind. If you ask me, I believe he's still singing that very song, "Always On My Mind" to her from his grave right now. He never forgot her. When he was alive, you could see it in his eyes that he was "happy she was his"!
