bullet Macca 'plans secret wedding with Nancy Shevell' corner

Chicago, Feb 3 : Looks like it's wedding bells for Paul McCartney again - the former Beatle is reportedly set to tie the knot with girlfriend Nancy Shevell.

McCartney is expected to marry quietly at Shevell's very private Long Island estate in New York, reports the Sun Times Media.

The twice-married singer was said to have gathered around with his family in the Caribbean last month to discuss arrangements.

However, a friend of the 67-year-old McCartney claimed the big day may take place next year.

"Paul and Nancy's relationship is rock solid and there's no mad hurry for a wedding," the Daily xpress quoted the star's friend as saying.

"Next year has certainly been mentioned as the most likely time, but neither of them want some big hoo-ha. It's almost certainly going to be done very discreetly over in the US and Paul would ideally like to do it without any publicity beforehand.

"Whether he could pull that off is another matter," the friend added.


bullet Chicago Chronicle corner
The Chicago Chronicle is essentially a local Chicago newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Chicago, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Chicago, Illinois, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Chicago Chronicle.
