Paul McCartney married for the third time on Sunday, exchanging vows with businesswoman and heiress Nancy Shevell in a small civil ceremony at the Marylebone Town Hall in London.  The ceremony was followed by a reception at McCartney's home, with guests including his fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, George Harrison's widow Olivia and television journalist Barbara Walters, who is Shevell's cousin. The couple have plans to throw another wedding party in New York sometime in the near future.

McCartney, 69, was previously married to Linda Eastman from 1969 until her death from breast cancer in 1998, and to Heather Mills from 2002 until their bitter divorce in 2008. Shevell, 51, has been married once before, to lawyer and former New York State Republican senatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
