Tigard couple wins Elvis wedding, Priscilla Presley to attend

When Kaycee Satava learned at age 5 that Elvis Presley was dead and that she couldn't marry him, she locked herself in her bedroom and cried for hours.
Now at 26, the Tigard mother is getting the next best thing.
Satava and her fiancé, Cameron Baker, 25, heard Monday morning that they'd won the national morning talk show TODAY's "Ultimate Elvis Wedding."
Again, Satava cried -- but not for long. She wiped her eyes and said, "I get to marry my best friend."
The couple thought they were going to KGW's Portland studios as finalists to hear as the winner was announced. Turns out Satava had already won over the show's producers with her tale of falling in love with The King after watching his movies with her mother as a 3-year-old.
Satava explained that she'd had a medical condition as a child that required her to stay still for long stretches as she received her medication.
But for Elvis, she could manage.
She'd sit quietly through 'King Creole,' 'It Happened at the Worlds Fair,' 'Jailhouse Rock,' and, she said, "of course, 'Viva las Vegas.'"
She dressed up as Elvis for Halloween at age 6. And her all-time favorite vacation? Graceland.
Satava, who grew up in Washington County, found her true love through mutual friends as they both worked at Portland area Nordstrom department stores. They dated a year and got engaged last May.
They had planned to marry soon, but then came Lucy, who was born in October. Still, they thought, they'd plan a wedding. But in January, Lucy started suffering seizures, Satava said, and all energy and attention went to their baby.
They've spent some time at Doernbecher Children's Hospital, she said, and are scheduled to see a neurologist this summer.
"That's been first and foremost," said Satava, who saw information about the wedding contest two weeks ago.
She submitted her story and within a day, heard from producers. They told her to prepare to be married in two weeks, on Thursday, April 23.
Gilt Jewely of Northwest Portland donated her wedding band. Anna's Bridal in Lake Oswego offered a dress and alterations - free of charge.
Skittish with a bout of nerves even 'Blue Hawaii' couldn't settle, Satava slept about an hour Sunday night.
They heard the good news as "Love Me Tender" played in the background. The couple, their daughter and Satava's parents are being flown to Las Vegas. Ten other family members will join them. On Thursday, they'll be the first to wed in the Westgate Las Vegas Resort's new Graceland Chapel.
Priscilla Presley will serve as a witness.

"I was just so overwhelmed and excited -- our little family can be complete," she said. "The first thought that came to my mind was 'I just finally get to get married to the person I've been in love with for the past two years."
