Elvis Won Priscilla’s Parents Over
Because Priscilla was only a young teenager and Elvis was 10 years her senior, her mother and stepfather initially disapproved of their relationship. They were especially displeased that she got home very late on the night she met Elvis. However, he was ready to turn on his charm.
Priscilla would later recount Elvis’s visit to her house in his military uniform. He spoke with her stepfather, promising that she wouldn’t arrive home late again. Though Elvis won everyone over that night, Priscilla’s family would allow her to move stateside only on the condition of marriage.
