On December 5, 1970, Elvis Presley served as the best man at the wedding of his lifelong friend and Memphis radio DJ, George Klein, who married Barbara Little. The ceremony took place inside Elvis’s private Imperial Suite at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Elvis and Klein first met in the eighth grade at Humes High School and remained extremely close confidants until Elvis’s passing. Priscilla Presley attended alongside Elvis, and country music star Glen Campbell was also a guest. True to his eccentric gift-giving style, Elvis reportedly presented Klein with a gold-plated derringer handgun as a wedding gift.

Photos show Elvis sporting his iconic 1970s style, carrying an elongated police flashlight, wearing a flashy gold belt from his Las Vegas residency.
