Dozens of paparazzi crowded the steps of a central London town hall yesterday in anticipation that former Beatle Paul McCartney was marrying American heiress Nancy Shevell.
Though no public announcement has been made, a tent had also been set up at McCartney's house nearby in the St John's Wood neighborhood and party decorations and champagne were delivered.
The couple announced their engagement earlier this year. Shevell, 51, would be McCartney's third wife and it would be her second marriage.
The 69-year-old McCartney married his first wife, Linda, at the same venue in 1969. She died of cancer in 1998.
His spokesman has not commented on the reported wedding plans. British press reports indicate that McCartney's daughter, Stella, a top fashion designer, has made Shevell's dress for the big event.
They also say McCartney's younger brother, Mike, will serve as best man and the former Beatle's young daughter, Beatrice, will be flower girl.
Shevell was married for more than 20 years to attorney Bruce Blakeman and serves on the board of New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority. She also is a vice president of a trucking company owned by her father.
McCartney married Linda Eastman, a talented photographer, when The Beatles were at the height of their fame.
The McCartneys enjoyed a happy marriage, raising four children and spending virtually every night together. Linda played and sang in McCartney's post-Beatles band Wings.
McCartney married model Heather Mills in 2002 and soon after they had a daughter. The marriage ended in a bitter divorce in 2008.
The impending marriage sparked Britain's tabloid headline writers to try to come up with puns on Sunday based on Beatles' song titles. Among those was "Ticket To Bride," a play on the 1965 chart-topper "Ticket To Ride."
