Answer
In 1967, Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis Presley's manager, encouraged the singer to marry Priscilla Beaulieu, whom he had met in Germany while stationed there with the U.S. Army. The two had been dating for several years, and Parker felt that marriage would help to stabilize Presley's personal life and help to improve his public image. Presley and Beaulieu were married on May 1, 1967, in Las Vegas.
