SIR Paul McCartney’s wedding to his American heiress girlfriend Nancy Shevell is “imminent”, friends believe.
The couple flew in to the UK from New York last week and have been finalising what is expected to be a small family ceremony at the ex-Beatle’s Sussex farmhouse.
Macca, 69, wants to avoid the circus that surrounded his doomed marriage to Heather Mills in 2002 in a huge 17th century Irish castle.
“They will be marrying imminently,” a source said. “They are very excited and almost everything is in place. Friends and family have been put on standby.”
New York-born Nancy, 51, has told pals the wedding was set to go ahead in Britain “after Labor Day”, the annual American bank holiday on the first Monday in September.

Boxes of champagne flutes and stacks of chairs have arrived at the music legend’s 933-acre estate.
The source added: “Nancy would have liked to get married in New York, but she knew an English wedding would make Paul happy.
“In the end they decided to marry in the UK and have a party for all their American friends at their home in the Hamptons later.I don’t think I’ve ever seen a couple so besotted with each other.”
The couple will return to the US for the opening night of the rocker’s debut ballet, Ocean’s Kingdom, but could return for the wedding as early as next month.
They have already selected their rings from the famed Neil Lane jewellers in Los Angeles.
This will be McCartney’s third marriage. First wife Linda died in 1998 of breast cancer. They had three children, Mary, Stella and James, and Sir Paul adopted Linda’s daughter Heather.

In 2002 he married former model Heather Mills, with whom he had a daughter Beatrice in 2003. The relationship ended in a bitter divorce in 2008.
He has been dating Nancy since 2007, and confirmed his engagement in May. Last night Sir Paul’s spokesman declined to comment.
