Love Me Tender

{1967}

It was 2 months before our wedding, we were getting married on June 12. Today I took my mom, my nana, my Aunt Trish and Elvis' Grandma out to help me pick out a wedding dress.

We went to a shop and I tried on about 8 different dresses, then I found the perfect one. It was a long, white dress with a V-Cut neckline.

On the day of the wedding I was going to wear my dress with some pearl jewelry and my hair down with some curls.

The night before the wedding my family flew in and stayed at a hotel. I stayed with them while Elvis stayed at Graceland because it was tradition that the bride and groom weren't allowed to see one another until the day of the wedding.

The next morning we all woke up very early. I got a call from Elvis...

"Good morning Baby" he said

"Good morning Elvis!"

"I missed you last night" he said sadly

"I know I missed you too, only a few more hours and we will be back together" I said smiling

"I can't wait to see you, I know you are going to look beautiful!"

We all got ready at the hotel, then we went to the big fancy chapel.

It was almost time for the wedding to start. I was getting a little nervous, I still couldn't believe I was going to be Mrs. Elvis Presley, this was all a dream come true.

The music started, some of my cousins were my bridesmaids and my youngest cousin was the flower girl. Now everybody was standing and it was my turn to walk down the aisle.

With my daddy by my side, I smiled making my way to Elvis who was standing there smiling at me with tears in his eyes. When I got to him, I kissed my dad on the cheek and held Elvis' hands

"You look like a beautiful angel!" Elvis whispered, smiling at me

----------------------

..."You may now kiss the bride!" the preacher said, and with no hesitation Elvis put his arms around my waist and I put my arms around his neck, then we had our first kiss as husband and wife!!

We then got in a limo and headed over to where we were going to have our reception. First we had our father and daughter dance then it was time for Elvis and I to have our first dance. He took me into his arms and pressed my body close to his.

We danced to a beautiful slow song, then Elvis took the microphone and sang the "Hawaiian Wedding Song" to me as we danced in each other's arms, looking into one another's eyes.

After the dancing it was time for us to cut the cake. Elvis and I stood side by side, both of us holding the knife and cutting the cake.

I took a piece and fed it to Elvis and he fed me a piece. Then, he being the jokester he was, took a piece and shoved it in my face so I did the same to him! He then started eating the icing off my face as I giggled...

"Elvis...stop" I squealed

"Mmm... baby you have the sweetest lips in the whole world" he mumbled as he continued to kiss my lips

After the reception Elvis and I went back to Graceland to pack for our honeymoon. When we pulled up, Elvis got out and opened my door for me then he picked me up bridal style band carried me across the threshold. The mafia had come in through the back door so they saw us walk in, they all started hollerin' and whistlin'

"Aww hush... you guys are just jealous cause you ain't married and don't have a beautiful girl like Jenna!" he said smiling at me and giving me a kiss

Elvis didn't put me down, he carried me all the way upstairs and laid me down on our bed. He then laid on top of me as we kissed passionately. He could have laid there all day but we had to pack, we were flying out tomorrow.

"Baby, as much as I would love to, we have to pack for our honeymoon" I said as I stopped him from removing my clothes

"C'mon honey just a little bit?" he pouted with puppy dog eyes

"Not right now" I teased

He groaned as he got off me. We packed our suitcases then we spent the rest of the night talking about old memories with Vernon and Grandma. It was almost 12:00 when Elvis said...

"Jenna, can you put your wedding dress back on?"

"What for Elvis?" I asked

"I wanna go to Mamas grave and let her know that I married you" he said looking at the ground

We went upstairs and I put my dress back on as he put his tuxedo back on then we drove to Gladys grave.

"Hi mama, I just wanted to tell you that Jenna and I got married today" he said as we stood over her grave

"Elvis looked very handsome Gladys, you would be very proud of him" I said putting my arm around him.

After we spent a few more minutes with her, we went back home. The next morning we had to wake up really early. Elvis was half asleep as we boarded the plane. The whole way to Hawaii we slept cuddled up in each other's arms.

When we landed, Elvis and I went to our room. It was almost dark so we decided to go out on the balcony to watch the sunset.

"Isn't it beautiful!" he said as he wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"It sure is" I said laying my head on his shoulder

After a while he pulled me inside...

"So... can I have my honeymoon present now?" he asked with a seductive look on his face

"Okay Elvis you win! Yes, you can have your present" I said raising my arms to the side

He then came running at me and tackled me onto the bed. He straddled my waist, kissing me on the lips, then he began to move his kisses down to my breasts sucking on the tender skin. I began to unbutton his shirt as he began taking my shirt off, then off came my pants. Elvis then undid his belt buckle and removed his pants, ripping open a condom. Our hips moved in sync together, each of us allowing groans to escape our lips. We made love for almost 2 hours then we cuddled, both of us naked.

We were going to be in Hawaii for about 2 weeks. We couldn't really do much for Elvis' fans ruining our time together.

The next day we cuddled on the couch, under a blanket, watching tv and ordering room service. That night we put on our bathing suits and went to the pool.

That was mostly our routine the whole time we were there...

When we got back to Memphis we went straight to Graceland.

"Hey guys! How was your honeymoon?" Vernon asked as we walked in.

"We had such an amazing time" Elvis said as he winked at me

"Mhm... sorry I asked" Vernon laughed
