Back in May it was confirmed that Sir Paul McCartney would marry his girlfriend (and our then-MTA board member) Nancy Shevell, after he proposed to her in April with a $650,000 engagement ring. And now rumor has it that the big day is happening this weekend, at the former Beatle's farmhouse in Sussex, England.
