We love Elvis Week - I mean, Elvis Presley is the most famous entertainer the world has ever known, and we're proud to have him as a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Thousands of fans are flocking to Memphis, Tennessee this week to honor Elvis on the 37th anniversary of his death on August 16, 1977. More like a celebration of life, because believe me when I tell you, it's a party at Graceland this week.

Here's  some things we bet you didn't know about the May 1, 1967 wedding between Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu:

1) It was the first marriage for both

2) The couple's first dance as man and wife was to the song 'Love Me Tender'

3) The suite where the wedding took place in Las Vegas at the Aladdin Hotel is no longer there. The hotel was demolished in 1997

4) The only celebrity to attend the nuptials was comedian Redd Foxx

5) The price of their 6 tiered wedding cake - $3,200 - cost more than a brand new Chevrolet in 1967. Whew!
