This may sound like a movie script, but this actually happened!
The biggest music royal wedding in history took place in secret, far away from the flashing cameras. On May 26, 1994, the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, married Lisa Marie Presley, the only daughter of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley.
When the world finally found out, people could not believe their ears. Some thought it was a giant trick to get attention, while others thought it was true love!
The story of how they fell in love is both sweet and a little strange. They first met when Lisa Marie was just a little seven-year-old girl watching Michael perform with his brothers. Many years later, they met again as adults. At that time, Michael was going through a very dark and scary period in his life, as people were accusing him and framing him in different controversies.
Lisa Marie wanted to protect him. She later said she had a strong mission to “save him” from his problems and the people around him.
