Big Elvis Is Married

Amanda Lasham & Pete Vallee


Pete Vallee “Big Elvis” married his sweetheart Amanda Lasham on July 15, 2010 at Bill’s Gambling Hall and Saloon in Las Vegas. Amanda had attended one of Pete Vallee’s shows and she instantly liked him because she was an ardent Elvis Fan for years. She asked to see Pete backstage and he thought she was beautiful and she was impressed with his tenderness and sweetness to her.
Pete asked her out to dinner and they found they had a lot in common and a romance developed. After two years they knew they wanted to be married and spend their life together. They wanted to share this special wedding day with their family and friends.

Pete had an engagement ring made for her that was a replica of one that was given by Elvis to his last girlfriend, Ginger Alden and a wedding band that was designed by Elvis and given to his friend Marty Lacker.
Family, friends and fans filled the show room where Pete performs his show and everyone eagerly waited for Amanda and the wedding party. Beautiful white drapes, roses and orchids set the scene for the wedding chapel.
