Paul McCartney got married to long time girlfriend and heiress Nancy Shevell today (October 9th) in London. It's a poignant date for McCartney because it happens to be on John Lennon's birthday. This was the third marriage for Paul. His first marriage to Linda Eastman lasted 30 years until her death due to cancer. McCartney's second marriage was not so good. Heather Mills and McCartney had a turbulent relationship that lasted only about 6 years.

The civil ceremony lasted about 45 minutes, and was attended by Ringo Starr and his wife Barbara Bach, along with Paul's kids and members of Shevell's family. Paul is 69 years old and his new wife is 51. For more info and photos, just click ahead.  Below is a video with a wedding pre-announcement and footage of the couple.  (via today.msnbc.msn.com)
