Elvis didn't seem happy for someone getting married.

Does a film/song/etc stop being "rare" when published/shared online?

Not the usual newsreel black and white footage, but this seems to be yet another clip filmed on an old Max Sennett original camera, ie, NO SOUND!!!

Elvis didn't seem happy for someone getting married.

He wasn't. Elvis loved Priscilla, but the marriage was something he allowed himself to do, rather than jump into wholeheartedly. There were other women he loved as much, Ann-Margret for one.

Ann married Roger Smith on Monday, May 8, 1967, at the Riviera in Las Vegas. It was exactly a week after Elvis wed Priscilla at the Aladdin. Coincidence?

How greatly ironic she and Roger are still here, and still married, 44 years later.

Ann wore a mini-skirt for her nuptials!

You could say that.

Elvis didn't seem happy for someone getting married.

He was happy. A bit nervous (been there, done that) of course, but still very happy.

Actually, Elvis is on record as later saying that the day was not of his doing, or enjoyable.

Do you believe that even a slight portion of that statement could have had anything to do with the fact that he was divorced?

Slight? Of course, but it's clear by Elvis' history before, during and after the marriage that he was not pleased to be tied down.

Still, P was his one big love. I do not think he was "lured" into marriage. On the contrary. As "Parker" insisted, it was not a good career move...Yet, that is what he choose to do.

I don't agree Priscilla was his one big love. Why he married her? Elvis was held by the promises he had to make to Priscilla's dad to marry her when she moved in March '63.

I believe that Elvis wanted to be with Ann-Margret, and she wanted to be with him. The promises Elvis had to make to marry Priscilla is what kept them apart.

Ann got married a week after Elvis. She probably had hopes of being with Elvis right up to his wedding day.

It was a very strange wedding.

No bridesmaids....did she have friends.

Where were her parents.

I think her parents were there and her sister was a bridesmaid.

Come guys he loved her never got over the spilt being on the road , vegas he did not have a settled life thats the price he paid you know all the songs after, sure Ann was something to him but he wanted a home loving wife but how could the guy be the same dont forget were he came from

I didn't realise Ann was married so soon after Elvis, that's interesting info.
We can only wonder how Elvis' life may have been different if he married her.

cool footage!!!thanks

Ok im on my 2nd marriage and no its not cause i like wedding cake ( but i do lol) and yes i know im not Elvis but he didnt have to marry Cilla just cause he made promises to her family. I wasnt forced in to marriage i did it like i hope most ppl do when they tie the knot cause i wanted to and i loved my wife to be. Elvis might of been the bigger male artist and entertainer to ever grace this earth but he was still Human and he did things cause he wanted to and yes we know some of his choices werent the best and he did let the colonel run the show most of the time, but if someone came up to you and say u have to get married now cause u have been with someone that long u would tell them to go and run and jump. I didnt know Elvis so wat im sayin could be aload of tosh but in my opinion Elvis married Cilla cause he wanted to and not cause he was told to. Yes we know bout the thing bout Elvis and Ann but Elvis got cosy with other leading ladies so to say Elvis wanted to be with Ann so why not dump Priscilla and go with Ann, wasnt Elvis big enough to stand up to the world and say im gonna do wat i want to do. Yes Elvis loved Ann but i dont think he loved as much as he loved Cilla. The divorced killed Elvis, maybe it was male pride in it as well but he was trully hurt knowing the woman he really and trully loved had enough of him. Cilla always loved Elvis and she has always said that and deep down we all know Elvis loved her.
