The Daily Mirror in London reports today that Paul McCartney plans to marry new American girlfriend Nancy Shevell.
Shevell’s divorce from her husband recently became final after she separated in 2007. The newspaper reports that McCartney’s daughter 
Stella has given the green light for the former Beatle to marry.
And apparently the Mother Road was a key to cementing the relationship:
Last August they drove across America in a 1989 Ford Bronco, following the old Route 66, the legendary route to the West, staying in motels and hotels on the way.
The friend said: “The road trip was when they realised quite how much they loved each other. They’ve both got loads of money but they were at their happiest just driving together in an old car staying in motels.
“Paul is basically a very down-to-earth guy and he was blown away to discover that Nancy is also very chilled and relaxed.
“Now everything is in place for Paul and Nancy to make their lives together – with the approval of both of their families.”

For McCartney’s sake, I would hope this marriage goes a lot better than the last one.
