Man and wife: Sir Paul McCartney and his new wife Nancy Shevell wed in an intimate ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall today

While she might have looked excited on the way to wed Sir Paul McCartney, Nancy Shevell emerged holding hands with her new husband displaying a look of pure delight.

As she left Marylebone Register Office as Lady McCartney, Nancy couldn't keep the smile off her face as she beamed alongside Paul.

The couple were greeted on the steps of the building by friends and family who covered the newlyweds in rose petals.

The pair got into a car with Paul's daughter Beatrice who had acted as bridesmaid and made their way to their North London home for the reception.

Sir Paul and Nancy, 51, became man and wife in front of just 30 guests at Marylebone Register Office.

The eight year old, whose mother is McCartney's ex-wife Heather Mills, looked gorgeous in a pretty dress, a rose pink coat ballet slippers and a floral headdress.

Earlier today the couple indulged in a pre-wedding workout and were seen leaving a gym together.

Sir Paul is set to perform a new song as a gift to his new wife at his wedding reception at their home later today.

The former Beatle will unveil the song at the reception on what would have been John Lennon's 71st birthday.

He will also sing ­the iconic Let It Be, which he wrote for the Beatles, and Let Me Roll It, which he wrote for his band Paul McCartney & Wings, reported the Daily Record.

He apparently sang Let It Be to Nancy during one of their first holidays together in Morocco three years ago.

The second song was picked because it is American heiress Nancy’s favourite and contains the lyric: 'You gave me loving in the palm of my hand.'

Returning home: Paul and his new wife Nancy arrive at their north London home following their wedding at Westminster Registry Office

The couple, who boast a combined fortune of £700 million, decided to marry in front of just 30 guests at Marylebone Register Office where Sir Paul married Linda in March 1969.

Instead of spending the morning getting hair and makeup done, Nancy took her fiance to the gym for an early morning work out at the gym ahead of their nuptials.

The pair looked relaxed and sporty in matching dark tracksuits.

Sources close to the star also say Sir Paul will also lovingly refer to Linda – mother of three of his grown-up children – who died from breast cancer in 1998.

But there will be no mention of his second wife, Heather Mills, whom he divorced acrimoniously in 2008, despite their daughter Beatrice, seven, acting as bridesmaid.

Yesterday, Paul and Nancy, 51, who is Jewish, visited the Liberal Jewish Synagogue near his home in St John's Wood, to mark Yom Kippur.

The couple left the singer's home in a chauffeur-driven Lexus just before 5pm, with Sir Paul winding down his window to say: 'Hi guys. Thanks for coming. We're looking forward to it. See you guys.'

Yesterday, final preparations were getting under way at the house before the arrival of guests who are expected to include Sir Paul's five children – adopted eldest daughter Heather from Linda's first marriage, photographer Mary, fashion designer Stella, son James, and youngest daughter Beatrice.
