McCartney ties the knot

Sir Paul McCartney tied the knot for the third time when he married his American bride Nancy Shevell in London. Shevell, 51, is the middle child in a wealthy Jewish family from New Jersey. She's the daughter of Myron "Mike" Shevell, who runs a trucking and his wife Arlene, who died of breast cancer 20 years The wedding ceremony took place at the Westminster Registry Office in a small simple ceremony attended by family and close friends on Sunday afternoon. After the ceremony Nancy sporting a 1925 Cartier solitaire diamond ring, said to be worth some $650,000 smiled as she left with her new husband to attend the star studded reception at McCartney's north London home. At the reception Paul serenaded her with a song written especially to his blushing bride. The couple is expected to fly to the U.S. for a second ­gathering at the Hamptons, where they both have homes before heading out for a Caribbean honeymoon. On Saturday McCartney accompanied Shevell to a synagogue not far from his home to mark the Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur.
