Paul McCartney marries Nancy Shevell in civil ceremony

Former Beatle star Paul McCartney married Nancy Shevell in a civil ceremony today, which also marks what would’ve been John Lennon’s 71st birthday.

The couple married at the Marylebone register office, which is also the same venue that he married his first wife Linda Eastman 42 years ago.  The ceremony was vastly different then Paul’s second wedding to Heather Mills in 2002 which was held in front of several hundred guests at Castle Leslie in Ireland.

Paul’s daughter Stella McCartney is said to have a welcoming relationship with Nancy and is rumored to have designed her wedding dress.  Paul's younger brother Mike is said to have been the best mand and Paul’s daughter Beatrice, 7, was the sole bridesmaid.

Roughly 30 guests were invited to the nuptials including fellow Beatle band member Ringo Starr.  Reports say that the wedding reception is being held in the garden of MCartney’s home in St. John’s Wood and canopies have been erected in the garden to give guests a little bit of privacy.  A source said;

"The wedding is in keeping with the way Paul and Nancy have conducted their entire relationship - low-key, understated and fuelled by goodwill. neither of them wanted a huge fuss ,ade and the main priority, for both, was family."

This is Paul’s third marriage and Nancy’s second.
