Presley and [[Priscilla Presley|Priscilla Beaulieu]] (née Wagner) first met in 1959 while Presley was stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army. Priscilla was 14 years old when Elvis met her. That's why he needed younger girls."Suzanne Finstad, ''Child Bride'' (1997), p. 94.Elvis Actually at that time Elvis' secretary and girlfriend was Elisabeth Stefaniak who was 18. The 14-year-old Priscilla was only a friend: George Klein asked Presley what he was saying to Presley when the picture of their divorce was taken in October 1973. "We met as friends we part as friends" was Presley's answer.{{cite book |last1=Klein |first1=George |title=Elvis my best man |date=2011 |pages=243}}

In 1963, Presley managed to talk the reluctant Beaulieus into allowing their teenage daughter to live with his father, Vernon, and stepmother, Dee Presley, at a home Elvis purchased on Hermitage Drive in Memphis located at the back of Graceland. According to Anita Wood,{{Cite book |last=Bareett |first=Jonnita Brewer |title=Once upon a time, Elvis and Anita : memories of my mother |pages=197}} it's Priscilla who begged Elvis to let her see him in United States. However, that arrangement lasted only a matter of weeks, Priscilla slipping back and forth between Vernon's house and Graceland.See Alanna Nash, ''The Colonel: The Extraordinary Story of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley'' (2003), p. 206. In her 1985 autobiography, ''[[Elvis and Me]]'', written with author Sandra Harmon, Priscilla describes Presley as a very passionate man who was not overtly sexual towards her. According to her account,''Elvis And Me'', p. 130. the singer told her that they had to wait until they were married before having intercourse. He said, "I'm not saying we can't do other things. It's just the actual encounter. I want to save it." Priscilla says in her autobiography that she and Elvis did not have sex until their wedding night, and that she married as a virgin. However, this claim is questioned by biographer Suzanne Finstad and members of the Memphis Mafia.
