Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell wedding: Official portrait by daughter Mary

A delighted Sir Paul McCartney and his new wife Nancy are pictured after their wedding in a kooky official portrait taken by Sir Paul's daughter Mary.

Sir Paul and the new Lady McCartney had emerged beaming after the ceremony at Marylebone Register Office.

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

Sir Paul and Nancy, 51, became husband and wife in front of just 30 guests.

First glimpse: Sir Paul and the new Lady McCartney seen as they emerged as man and wife for the first time

The former Beatle was seen acting the perfect gentleman offering his wife-to-be a helping hand as they got into the car at their north London home.

As they arrived at the venue, the couple posed together and waved at fans.

Nancy had opted for a demure ivory knee-length gown, designed by Paul's daughter Stella, which boasted button detail down the front and on the sleeves.

The bride was carrying a simple bouquet of mixed coloured roses while Sir Paul wore a smart navy suit and a light blue tie.

As the couple made their way up the steps Nancy turned around to the crowd and beamed, showing her delight at the day.

The pair were met at the top of the steps by Paul's daughter Beatrice, who took on the role as flower girl.

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.

On Sunday, the couple indulged in a pre-wedding workout and were seen leaving a gym together.

Sir Paul was expected to have performed a new song as a gift to his new wife at the reception.

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

He was also expected to 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.

Happy couple: The pair looked relaxed as they arrived ahead of their wedding

Ready as ever: The couple were all smiles as they made their way into the register office 

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.'

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 fiancé 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.'

The service was conducted by Superintendent Registrar Alison Cathcart and cost £1,540.

The couple were thought to have exchanged rings from Los Angeles jeweller Neil Lane and back at his home Sir Paul showed off his simple gold band.

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.

A marquee had been erected on the drive of the three-storey detached property, which is hidden from the street by a 6ft wall, while an awning had been erected on the pavement at the gates to the property.

Two van loads of flowers, including pastel coloured roses and white hydrangeas, were delivered and bottles of champagne could be seen in a fridge next to the marquee, while more vans delivered furniture including around 100 steel chairs and ten drinks tables with mirrored glass surfaces.

The proceedings are in stark contrast to the £1.5 million Sir Paul spent on his wedding to Heather Mills in 2003 in front of 300 guests at Castle Leslie in Ireland.

That was followed by an elaborate reception which included a vegetarian banquet.

Then, Sir Paul was reported to have spent tens of thousands of pounds on 300 bottles of vintage Cristal and Laurent Perrier, costing £180 a time.

But yesterday, fridges were being loaded with a far cheaper option – non-vintage Dumangin Grande Reserve champagne costing £26.50 a bottle.

The brand is little-known in the UK but was described by one critic last year as 'delicious, rare and delectable' and 'good value for money'.

Workmen carrying tools including a spirit level arrived at the property in a van from the firm Momart, which specialises in transporting fine art. One said they had been asked to hang paintings, including works by Picasso and some of Sir Paul's own work.

After the celebrations the newlyweds are expected to fly to America to mark their nuptials with a second gathering at the Hamptons, the exclusive seaside enclave two hours from New York where they both own homes.

The move mirrors Sir Paul's wedding to Linda in 1969 when they flew to New York to visit her family.

Miss Shevell, a family friend of Sir Paul and Linda, is vice president of her family's transport firm and has a 19-year-old son, Arlen, from her 24-year marriage to first husband Bruce Blakeman
