“I really didn’t need anything,” Priscilla recalls in Elvis and Me. It is then that Priscilla says that Elvis gave her two pills she had never seen before. To Elvis, this meant she would need some help sleeping amidst all the commotion. She adds, in her words, that she had been up for two days prior to the trip out of excitement, as well.

In her memoir, Elvis and Me, Priscilla calls the night began as we would expect: Graceland was lavishly decked out in Christmas lights and decorations.

As they did, it became clear that the two could not see a future without the other. The two would send and share countless phonecalls, photos, and letters for several years. As for Priscilla? She was just 14-years-old.
At the time, Elvis was a soldier in the U.S. The two met in 1959, a full seven years before their nuptials. In a lot of ways, it’s far more dramatic than any fiction. Fans of the King know that the story of Elvis & Priscilla Presley is not a neat and tidy one.
