THEIR relationship has been famously private and low-key with only occasional forays into the public eye.
And tomorrow Sir Paul McCartney, 69, will tie the knot with US heiress Nancy Shevell, 51, in a typically understated fashion.
The couple, who got engaged in May, will exchange vows before just 30 guests at Londons Westminster Register Office, followed by a relaxed reception in the former Beatles back garden.
They have been given special dispensation by the council to marry on a Sunday, and have chosen what would have been the grooms former bandmate John Lennons 71st birthday for their big day. It is understood Sir Pauls younger brother Mike is overseeing proceedings and will be best man, while the singers seven-year-old daughter Beatrice is sole bridesmaid and flower girl.
Last night a source close to the star 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 made and the main priority, for both, was family.
It will be a really special, intimate ceremony followed by a fun do under a marquee in the garden. They have chosen a fairly spectacular wedding cake, and ordered a chocolate one for the younger guests. Pauls daughter, Stella, was instrumental in helping choose an entirely vegetarian, mostly organic, three-course sit-down meal.
The pop-up bar will be free-flowing and Paul keeps threatening to get the guitar out, and dedicate a couple of songs to his new wife.
A relaxed Nancy emerged from her fiances St Johns Wood home yesterday afternoon. Caterers were also seen coming and going from the property and the marquee arrived.
Nancy, whose father heads a £250million haulage firm, is expected to spend tonight holed up in an exclusive London hotel.
The heiress cousin, US broadcaster Barbara Walters, jetted in last night after tweeting: Going away for a big weekend. Will tell you more when I get back.
The couple, who have been dating since 2007, are expected to honeymoon in the Caribbean later this month.
It will be Sir Pauls third wedding. In 1969 he married Linda Eastman, who died of breast cancer in 1998. The musician went on to marry model and campaigner Heather Mills in 2002 before they split *acrimoniously four years later.
Last night a spokesman for Sir Paul declined to comment.
