Pumpkin Ravioli the way to Paul's Heart?

Is the way to Paul McCartney’s heart through a dish of Pumpkin Ravioli?

Apparently so!  According to a story in Britain’s Daily Mail, Paul proposed to Nancy about 2 weeks ago in his NY apartment, after she cooked him a dinner of Pumpkin Ravioli.  (Coincidentally, on a sitcom I watched tonight, all they talked about was Pumpkin Ravioli! I really need to learn how to cook!)

She was  first seen wearing her $650,000  engagement ring out in public on May 7.

It was said that when she started dating Paul, she told him that she had plenty of her own diamonds, and didn’t need him buying her any…… guess she didn’t mind making an exception for her gorgeous engagement diamond… but after all, becoming engaged to Paul McCartney is a very special occasion worthy of a very sparkly $650,000 ring!

The wedding will reportedly take place in late summer and be held in the backyard of Nancy’s estate in the Hamptons ( for photos of her estate, scroll down).

They are planning on a small, intimate wedding with close friends and family.

Although there won’t be a prenup ( Paul is such a romantic!) they reportedly did draw up a simple agreement ensuring that should the marriage not last, Nancy won’t lay claim to any of his children’s trust funds.  ( I wonder about this, because being ‘trust funds’, I didn’t think anyone could lay claim to them!)

 Nancy was quoted as saying,  “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 doing.”

“I’d love to live here but it’s probably England,” explained Nancy of her and Paul’s future plans. “I still have a job here so I’ll commute once a month.”

Next Sunday, Nancy’s whole family gathers — probably to appraise the stone: Her father, his ladyfriend, her sister, brother-in-law, her son, nevviews, nieces, some cousin, the cousin’s kids. Twelve in all.

Asked about the plans by New York Post columnist Cindy Adams, she 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.”

Intimating the pair are heading for a civil ceremony, reports the Mail.

Shevell also revealed that McCartney’s proposal came as “a total surprise.” The music legend popped the question while the pair were in California.

And the ring? She described it as “vintage 1925 Cartier engagement solitaire diamond from Tate Galleries.”

The date? “Soon,” said Shevell, cryptically.

As for their future plans, Shevell said that although she’d like to remain in New York, the pair will probably end up living in England.

“I’d love to live here but it’s probably England,” she said. “I still have a job here so I’ll commute once a month.”
