While describing a 'cleansing period' in Elvis's life, Priscilla claims that 'Any sexual temptations were against everything he was striving for, and he did not wish to betray me, the girl waiting for him at home who was preparing to be his wife.'Īccording to her account, Elvis told Priscilla that they had to wait until they were married before having sex. The couple kissed and engaged in petting, but Elvis always stopped the make-out sessions before it led to actual intercourse. Priscilla's descriptions of the nights she spent with Elvis before their marriage suggest that the star was not overtly sexual towards her. Contrary to this arrangement, Priscilla gradually moved in with Elvis. The initial arrangement was that Priscilla would live with Vernon and Dee while attending a Memphis Catholic school. Priscilla describes how her father reluctantly allowed her to live in Memphis, Tennessee to be near Elvis. On the rare occasions Dee Stanley-Presley came to Graceland, Elvis did his best to at least be civil towards his stepmother. After the marriage Elvis bought a home on Dolan Drive in Memphis where Vernon and his new wife resided.

Priscilla wrote that Elvis did not approve of his father Vernon's relationship with divorcee Dee Stanley and did not attend their wedding.
