Why go to Vegas when you can renew your vows in Parkes with Elvis.

On Sunday morning of this years Parkes Elvis Festival 17 couples gathered at the Mosonic Lodge to do just that by Elvis Tribute Artist Dean Vegas.

Couples ranged in length of marriages from 11 months to 52 years with each couple just as in love as they were on their wedding day.

The longest married couple at the Renewal of Vows was Sydney couple Mary and Mario Axisa.

Mary and Mario have been married for 52 years and decided it was about time they renewed their vows.

The happy couples daughter also renewed her vows with her partner of 20 years two weeks ago in Vegas so they thought why not renew theirs at this year's Parkes Elvis Festival which was also their fifth time at the annual festival.

2025 Miss Priscilla, Gracey Jones led the 17 couples down the isle to Dean Vegas to kick off the ceremony.

Vows and rings were exchanged under Dean Vegas' humorous and heartwarming guidance before couples had the chance to take a photo with 2025 Miss Priscilla and Elvis.

Originally from Scotland, Sydney Couple Tracey and Lee Ritchie with their son Flynn Elvis were given the honour of cutting the annual cake.

Tracey and Lee decided the day before the renewal of vows ceremony that they were going to renew their vows with Elvis at the Parkes Elvis Festival.

Tracey said it was quite a surprise but her husband, Lee is a big fan of Elvis hence why their sons middle name is Elvis and why they decided to renew their vows on their 14th year of marriage at the festival.

Couples left the Mosonic Lodge with big smiles and special Parkes Elvis Festival memories for 2025.
