I tried to edit all the small clips into chronological order. But I got the feeding cake bit wrong lol. They must have gone back to the table where they origianlly were after they'd cut the cake as it was the cake they were feeding each other. So that bit is wrong, the cake feeding clip should have been inserted after the cake cutting clips.

Edit; changed the timings of things to be right and added extra at the end

LOT #51 - THE AUCTION AT GRACELAND•JANUARY 7, 2016

      
1967 Elvis and Priscilla Presley Wedding Photo Album Gifted to Vernon Presley by Colonel Parker (19 Photographs)
      

This treasured memento from the celebrated union of Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu on May 1, 1967, was gifted to Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Presley from the Colonel and includes a stunning group of 19 studio-quality 8 by 10 inch (20.32 by x 25.4 cm) black-and-white photographs from that enchanting day at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. Many of the photographs are marked “5-1-67” in pencil on the reverse, and several have small pencil notations, likely from the photographer, indicating the roll and frame number, such as “R5-11.” The white wedding photo album with gold embossed title “Priscilla and Elvis Presley / 5-1-67” on the cover contains several well known images, and others that are relatively unseen from this special day. Included are photographs of the ceremony, family shots including the entire Beaulieu family and Vernon and Dee Presley with Dee’s children, a larger group shot with the Colonel and members of Elvis’ entourage with the families, cake-cutting pictures, and, of course, press pictures (it wouldn’t be an Elvis event without publicity). The images are not affixed to the pages of the album, making them easy to remove and display. This personal family album commissioned by the Colonel (one of only a very few that were produced, one of which was gifted to Priscilla’s parents) is a touching peek into one of the most acclaimed weddings of the century. The photo album measures approximately 11 1/2 by 10 inches (29.21 x 25.4 cm) and is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated.

The photographs are in well-preserved, sharp NM condition. The album cover shows signs of wear including separations at the biding, scuffs, scratches and some tape residue on the reverse. The embossed gold-colored type is all intact, though, and presents boldly. VG-EX condition.

Final prices include buyers premium.: $6,875.00
Estimate: $5,000 - $10,000
Number Bids: 18

Having arrived at 3:00am from Palm Springs in two planes, the private jet on loan from Frank Sinatra and having paid the $15 license fee they were as ready as they'd ever be to get married.
At 11:41am Nevada Supreme Court Justice David Zenoff began to conduct the ceremony.

No audio ?

[Alan]

No audio ?

There's never been any released - or has there?
Every clip I've seen either has music dubbed over it or if its from the time is has narration overdubbed after the event. There's two microphones on the table and yet I've never heard of any audio from them.

You may make my day - tell me you have audio!!

[ColinB]

No, I don't have audio !

The YouTube version has a narrator doing an over-voice & music !

It just seemed odd watching it in total silence !

That might be the Pathe News clip. Its short and there isnt much of it compared to all that I've put in the clip. But the Pathe News guy wasn't there doing it if you know what I mean.
There may have been many differing versions with narration overdub from the time as well. I might hunt them down and post so we can see or rather hear the difference in the reporting of it.
Sometimes on 8mm film I put a projector noise on, but this is mostly 16mm pro shot - so I didnt use it.
There is some of Joe Espositos 8mm in it, but I didnt want to get too bogged down with using a noise on some bits and not on other bits.

[Alan]

In the meantime you've given me another idea... press clippings.

Just for ColinB

I've re-editted the original post and insrted and updated clip that puts things in the correct order.

But, for ColinB here's two more clips with sound. One from the British Pathe and one from the Las Vegas Newsreel
