2011 – Paul McCartney and Nacny Shevell tied the knot on This Day in Rock Music History! Former Beatles member Paul McCartney, 69, and Nancy Shevell, 51, held their wedding ceremony with 30 close family and friends after dating for four years.
The ceremony was held on Sunday at London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall, where is the same location McCartney married with his first wife Linda in 1969.
Though Paul McCartney is one of the most recognized and wealthy musician, the wedding ceremony was a modest civil one, for just a small group of family and close friends were invited.
According to reports, the groom wrote a song for the bride Shevell, especially for their big day, and performed it at the reception.
“There was a lovely song that our kid did, and they had a lovely dance together,” Mike McCartney, Paul’s brother, told reporters. “That was a nice little highlight of the evening.”
McCartney also sang “Let It Be” and “Let Me Roll It” at the reception, according to the New York Post.

From Dylan’s 2004 memoir, he described her as one of the most charming spectacles he has ever seen:
“She was the most erotic thing I’d ever seen. She was fair skinned and golden haired, full-blooded Italian. The air was suddenly filled with banana leaves. We started talking and my head started to spin. Cupid’s arrow had whistled past my ears before, but this time it hit me in the heart and the weight of it dragged me overboard.”

2010 – London, Nov 24 – Pop star Britney Spears reportedly wants to apply for sole custody of her sons and take care of them full-time.
The 28-year-old singer, who has been under the conservatorship of her father Jamie Spears since her much-publicised breakdown in January 2008, has reportedly told ex-husband Kevin Federline she wants to get back custody of her sons, Sean Preston, 5, and four-year-old Jayden James, and have the boys live with her and current partner Jason Trawick, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Federline still officially has sole custody of the boys, although the youngsters split their time between both parents.
‘It’s getting harder and harder for her to hand the boys back to Kevin after each visit. Britney dreams of marrying Jason and having the kids live with them – she’d even like to have more children too,’ said a source.
‘She won’t be happy until the boys are with her full-time. All she wants is to get her life back, without having to ask her dad’s permission to do everything,’ the source added.
Federline, however, has told his ex-wife, who sees the boys every week, he wants to keep custody of their sons, who live with him and his girlfriend Victoria Prince in Los Angeles.
‘Britney and Kevin’s relationship is amicable – Kevin likes Jason and knows he’s a stable influence on Britney. He’s told her she can visit them every day but there’s no way he’s handing them over full time,’ said the source.
Under the terms of their current custody agreement, Spears pays Federline $15,000 a month to look after the kids and promised to continue giving him the sum even if he gives the children back, an offer the former dancer refused.
‘At first, Britney thought it was because he was afraid of losing the money, so she offered him an out-of-court settlement, meaning he’d get the money regardless of who the boys live with. But he’s told her he fears she’s still too unstable and could go off the rails again,’ the source said.
The pop star’s conservatorship order could come to an end within the next few months following a meeting she had with Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Reva Goetz in October to assess her general wellbeing in regards to making a decision on handing back control of her affairs.
