Former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney has tied the knots on Sunday with his girlfriend of four years, American-Jewish businesswoman from New York, Nancy Shevell, British media reported on Sunday.

It is the third marriage for the 69-year old musician and the second one for Nancy, 51, the vice president of the family-owned trucking company.

The couple chose for the ceremony the Old Marylebone Town Hall in London, where Sir Paul married his first wife Linda in 1969. The date of the wedding coincided with the 71th anniversary of another legendary member of the Four, John Lennon.

A day before the wedding, Shevell was reported to receive a blessing in a local synagogue, British media said.

Apart from the 200 fans and photographers that gathered outside the central London register office, another living ex-Beatle, Ringo Starr also arrived at the venue, BBC said.

McCartney's fashion-designer daughter Stella, who is believed to have good relationship with Shevell, made the wedding dress and helped to create the three-course organic vegetarian menu, the Sunday Times reported.

McCartney plans to sing a wedding serenade, created specially for his sweetheart, along with the Beatles famous hit, Let It Be.

Sir Paul had been married to Linda McCartney from 1969 until her death from breast cancer in 1998. His second marriage with a former model and philanthropist, Heather Mills, ended up in 2008 with an acrimonious split-up when Paul paid about $50 million in a divorce settlement to Mills.
