The Dress and the Rings

 and


Nancy Shevell looked stunning in her simple yet elegant short white wedding dress. 
The dress was designed by her new stepdaughter Stella McCartney.
Barbara Walters ( Nancy's cousin), revealed on The View that the dress was inspired by the wedding dress worn by Wallis Simpson in 1937 when she married the Duke of Windsor.
Simpson's dress was pale blue and floor length, and designed by the famous French-American designer, Mainbocher ( Main Rousseau Bocher).

THE RING







In a vintage style and featuring 5 carats of square-cut diamonds set in platinum, the Neil Lane wedding band was meant to “complement her engagement ring, but not overshadow it,” the celebrity jeweler tells PEOPLE. “Nancy wanted a band with a vintage feel.” Indeed, the band and engagement ring — a 5-plus-carat, flawless diamond art-deco ring also by Lane — “work as a set,” he says. “Paul loved it!”
McCartney’s thumbs up was important to Lane, who says, “Paul is an artist. When we worked on the engagement ring, he took it seriously and was into the stones, shapes and styles — like a kid in a candy store. I could see him imagining what it would look like on Nancy’s finger.”

Lyrics


What if it rained?
We didn't care
She said that someday soon
the sun was gonna shine.
And she was right,
this love of mine,
My Valentine

As days and nights,
would pass me by
I tell myself that I was waiting for a sign
Then she appeared,
a love so fine,
My Valentine

And I will love her for life
And I will never let a day go by
without remembering the reasons why
she makes me certain
that I can fly

And so I do,
without a care
I know that someday soon the sun is gonna shine
And she'll be there
This love of mine
My Valentine

(instrumental)

What if it rained?
We didn't care.
She said that someday soon
the sun was gonna shine
and she was right
This love of mine,
My Valentine
