That'd normally be the case
But, I think I've wiped it. But I'd put film of the Graceland ceremony up as well and that's not even in the Elvistube section either.
I think I had to do a system restore about 5 months ago and I forgot I'd just uploaded them.

No prob's, I should have everything still, so I'll do it again shortly.

Am I missing something ?

It's something I'm sure you've used before
Elvistube - archiving the king on film is just ELVIStube

It saves uploading to YOUtube and it's just for this site

Over 4 months later..... I remembered!

At the end of the month, on May 29, they had the reception for their Memphis friends in the former slot-car room. Elvis and Priscilla dressed in the same formal clothing they had worn for the wedding, but it was an informal affair, with Elvis' doctor, dentist, painter, horse trainer, and electrician, all of his uncles and aunts and cousins and most of the guys, along with the entire Graceland staff making up the greater part of the small guest list. Priscilla felt a new sense of security not just as a young bride but as someone who had finally managed to put history behind her.

Everyone remarked on how serene the newlyweds looked. Elvis' dentist, Dr. Lester Hoffman, and his wife, Sterling, savoured the moment as something very special. "There was a beautiful, lavish buffet. We figured if we were invited, the whole world would be there,but I don't think there were more than forty or frty-five people. Tony Barrasso [a well-known society bandleader who was dating Bonnie Bunkley, Elvis' former girlfriend, and would eventually marry her] was playing the accordian. I said, 'I am so thrilled you got married. I was about to give up on you.' He said, 'Mrs. Hoffman, I wanted to be sure. Because I cannot imagine ever loving somebody enough to marry them and then falling out of love.' He said, 'That would just kill me.'" No one was prouder than Vernon, though. He practically beamed as he surveyed the festive scene, the head table decorated in green and white with white carnations, the grounds all decked out, his son looking handsome with his beautiful bride. Not at all characteristically, Vernon just kept pouring the champagne. He was very drunk and very happy.
