The secret wedding of the king of pop music Michael Jackson and the princess of rock and roll Lisa Maria Presley took place in 1994.
Fans of the stars called the union the wedding of the century, and journalists refused to believe in the authenticity of the marriage, considered it fictitious and PR.
Since Jackson has not announced his life together with Elvis Presley’s daughter, it remains to believe only his words.
In October 2010, Lisa Maria gave a big interview to Oprah Winfrey, which told about the reasons for her marriage and divorce with Michael.
The first meeting of the future spouses took place in 1974, when the girl visited the performance of The Jackson 5 group with her father, and then Elvis took his daughter backstage and got to know the musicians.
Six-year-old Lisa forgot about that meeting.The future couple met again in 1993 at a party of their mutual friend, Brett Strong, who introduced Presley as an aspiring singer.
Michael was impressed by the girl’s voice, and he even thought about helping her in her music career.
Jackson and Presley found many topics for conversations, from that moment their friendship began, which turned into a romantic relationship.
At that time, Lisa Maria was having problems with her husband and Michael was accused of child abuse, they both needed mutual support.
The young people had long phone conversations almost every day and felt like kindred spirits.
During another phone conversation, Michael proposed Lisa to marry him, and she agreed.
The modest wedding ceremony took place in the Dominican Republic, lasted only 15 minutes and was kept secret.The newlyweds officially confirmed their union only after 11 weeks.
Photographer Dick Zimmerman, who did the first photo session of the newlyweds,said in an interview with Last Time magazine that the couple was really happy and in love.
The professional photographer, who has worked with many stars, noted that the sensitivity and depth of their love could not be faked and scripted.
In a conversation with Oprah, Lisa emphasized that she was in love with Michael.Being the daughter of Elvis, she understood that life with the star is a tough test, but still she was not ready for the reality.
She dreamed that she would be able to save Michael from the attacks of the press and the crazy world in which he lived.But over time, she realized that she could not save her husband from herself.
Jackson did not want to fight against his complexes, it was easier for the singer to blame the whole world for what he is.
The trusting relationship between the spouses cracked after Lisa categorically refused to give birth to her husband’s heir.
It was the musician’s cherished dream to have a full family and children. According to Lisa, she was afraid of a possible lawsuit due to custody of the children.
In other words, being, according to her, in love with Michael, she was already thinking about divorce at that time.
