Sir Paul McCartney ties the knot for the third time.
- 13 years ago
Sir Paul McCartney arrived at London's Westminster Registry Office on Sunday with his wife-to-be Nancy Shevell to tie the knot for the third time.
For his low-key ceremony, the Ex-Beatle chose the same venue where he married his first wife Linda.
Sir Paul married U.S. photographer Linda Eastman in 1969. She died of cancer in 1998, aged 56.
His second marriage to former model Heather Mills ended acrimoniously in 2008.
Fans, who'd been waiting outside the registry office for hours to catch a glimpse of the couple, gave Sir Paul's new wife the thumbs up:
SOUNDBITE Beatles fan and student from Italy Chiara Amato, saying (English):
"I really like her. I think she's really in love with him, so, this wedding, this marriage is going to be the last one. And I think they will be happy for the rest of their lives. I think so."
SOUNDBITE Susan and Jim Hughes, tourists from Canada, saying (English):
"Oh vibrant, the two of them seem to get along really well so I think this time is going to be very good for him.''
Amongst the many high-profile guests attending the ceremony was former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and his wife, model and actress Barbara Bach.
According to a British tabloid newspaper, Nancy Shevell's wedding dress was created by McCartney's daughter, fashion designer Stella McCartney.
The couple became engaged earlier this year after they began dating four years ago in the upmarket Hamptons area of Long Island, New York.
