Paul McCartney celebrates wedding with stars

10th October 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Sir Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell hosted a star-studded wedding reception last night.

The newlyweds tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Marylebone Register Office in Central London in front of just 30 people earlier in the day.

The post-ceremony celebrations were equally as low-key, with the reception held in the back garden of Paul's home in St John's Wood.

However, a host of high-profile guests including Ronnie Wood, Kate Moss and iconic British model Twiggy attended the party.

Paul's designer daughter Stella McCartney who created Nancy's elegant wedding gown - was there with her five-year-old daughter Bailey.

Mary McCartney, the first child of Paul and first wife Linda, was also present at the event. She was putting her photography skills to use and taking photos of the newly-married couple.

Ronnie turned up at the wedding reception looking typically dapper in a patterned black suit. The iconic musician attended the party with a young brunette companion.

Kate looked her usual stunning self in a thigh-skimming metallic mini dress.

Artist Tracey Emin also attended the event, wearing a simple black trouser suit with modest gold jewellery.

The earlier ceremony was a success. Nancy wore a classic knee-length white dress and held a small bouquet of roses. Paul, 69, wore a smartly tailored navy suit, white shirt and blue tie.

Paul gushed about his new wife when asked how he felt in front of around 200 fans directly after the ceremony.

"Terrific, thank you. I feel married," he said. "I feel absolutely wonderful."

Yesterday would have been the 71st birthday of Paul's late Beatles bandmate John Lennon.

Paul and Nancy began dating in 2007 and announced their engagement in May this year.

This will be Paul's third marriage. After first wife Linda McCartney died in 1998, he tied the knot with Heather Mills in 2002. The pair's bitter divorce was finalised in 2008, with Heather winning a 24.3million settlement.

Nancy was previously married to American lawyer Bruce Blakeman. (C) Cover Media
