The 69-year-old musician – who has been married twice before – is planning a small intimate ceremony in front of his close family before flying to New York to celebrate with his American fiancee's loved ones.

A source told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “Paul loves Nancy very much, but does not want a big wedding."

Nancy, 51, previously admitted the couple were planning a civil ceremony to make their union official.


The heiress – who has been in a relationship with the singer for four years – said: "It will be small. Just our families. I don't know the exact date. And don't ask what I'll wear because how dressy do you get to stand before a Justice of the Peace in his chambers, which is exactly what we're going to do."
