Burning Love: Cage, Presley Tie the Knot

Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage are saying aloha to the single life.

The daughter of Elvis and the Oscar-winning actor tied the knot Saturday in a ceremony on the Big Island of Hawaii--just a week before the 25th anniversary of her father's death.

According to Cage's publicist, the ceremony took place on the lawn of the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows and was attended by Lisa Marie's mother, Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie's children from a previous marriage (Danielle, 13, and Benjamin, 10), as well as Cage's 12-year-old son, Weston, from a previous relationship.

"The wedding was in front of immediate family and friends," publicist Lisa Block tells the Associated Press.

This marks the second marriage for the 38-year-old actor (who once donned his late father-in-law's white jumpsuit for Honeymoon in Vegas), and the third trip down the aisle for the 34-year-old Presley.

The King's only child was previously married to Michael Jackson in 1994 (they split less than a year later and divorced in 1996), and prior to that, musician Danny Keough, with whom she had two children. Presley also was previously engaged to John Oszajca before hooking up with Cage.

Cage, meanwhile, was previously married for six years to actress Patricia Arquette before the pair divorced in November 2000. (Arquette also have moved on: She got engaged this month to actor Thomas Jane.) The Coppola clan member also was once engaged to Kristen Zang in the early '90s and, prior to that, had a child with actress-girlfriend Kristina Fulton.

Cage, an Oscar winner for his role in 1995's Leaving Las Vegas and star of action flicks like The Rock and Gone in Sixty Seconds, started dating Presley in April of last year. But the pair seemed headed for Heartbreak Hotel in February, when Cage's publicist confirmed that they had split up, despite tabloid rumors of an impending engagement.

No word on when they reconciled--or if they ever really broke up.

Interestingly, the wedding comes just as fans of Presley's father converge on Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, for Elvis Week, a tribute to the rock 'n' roll legend on the 25th anniversary of his death. Presley was 42 when he died August 16, 1977, the result of a drug-induced heart attack.

No word on Cage and Presley's honeymoon plans, but the couple returned to Los Angeles Sunday. Cage's publicist says he was due back at work today for shooting on his latest movie, Matchstick Men, directed by Ridley Scott.
