David Zenoff, 89; Nevada High Court Judge Married Presleys

David Zenoff, 89, a former Nevada Supreme Court justice who officiated at Elvis Presley’s wedding, died Monday of a respiratory ailment at Scripps Memorial Hospital in Encinitas, Calif., near his home in La Costa.

He presided over the May 1, 1967, marriage of Presley to Priscilla Beaulieu at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas after the hotel’s owner, who was a friend, called to ask him to participate in a high-profile couple’s secret ceremony.

Zenoff also presided over the 1959 divorce of actors Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.

He was proud of his work with juvenile offenders and his leading role in founding a Las Vegas-area youth camp, said his daughter, Terrie Zenoff Sanders.

Zenoff was born in 1916 in Amherst, Wis. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School and served as a major in the Marines during World War II before moving to Las Vegas. He spent a decade on the Nevada Supreme Court and retired in 1976.
