Elvis and Priscilla Presley married 50 years ago....and a Kardashian was there! (VIDEO)



Fifty years after “The King” married his queen, Elvis Presley’s wedding remains far from forgotten. Presley, then 32, married 21-year-old Priscilla Ann Beaulieu on May 1, 1967 in Las Vegas.

Joan Kardashian, the aunt of Kim, Kourtney and Khloe, was the matron of honor.
“Everyone was so nervous because there was so much secrecy,” she told Inside Edition.


Joan Kardashian is married to the brother of the Kardashians' late father, Robert. The intimate ceremony took place May 1st 1967. It started at 9 a.m. and lasted just eight minutes inside a private suite at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. The hotel was demolished in 1998.

An estimated 100 guests dined on ham, eggs, and southern fried chicken, oysters Rockefeller, roast suckling pig, poached and candied salmon, lobster, eggs mignonette and champagne.

“The dress she chose was a very, very simple beaded dress,” Joan said. “It was long-sleeved and high neck. Fifty years later — it's a style that's still in fashion.

The couple’s first dance was to his hit, “Love Me Tender.” Following the ceremony, the newlyweds held a press conference where the singer’s wife showed off her wedding ring, which featured 21 diamonds.

The couple had a second reception in Memphis, where the couple put their wedding attire back on for a party in Graceland with about 150 people.



Joan is the ex wife of Elvis' road manager and friend, Joe Esposito who passed away in 2016. She is married to Tommy Kardashian, brother of Robert Kardashian, the father of the Kardashian empire and lawyer to O.J. Simpson.


Tommy and Joan decided to set up Robert with Priscilla Presley. The couple dated and eventually moved in together for a short amount of time.

The Kardashians are everywhere, even in Elvis history!

Who would have thought a Kardashian would be at Elvis and Priscilla's wedding, fifty years ago today.

Happy Anniversary to Elvis and Priscilla!
