MR AND MRS McCARTNEY OFF WITH A BANG Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills jetted off on their honeymoon today following a dramatic firework display at the remote Irish castle where they were married. The 300 guests waved the couple off following a lavish celebration at the 1,000 acre 17th century estate of Castle Leslie, Co Monaghan. Three years after the couple first met, Sir Paul and his new bride tied the knot in a 4.30pm ceremony yesterday at the picturesque San Salvator's church, Glaslough, conducted by the Venerable Cecil Pringle, Archdeacon of Clogher. As befits a wedding for one of the world's best known songwriters, his bride entered the 17th century church to the strains of a bridal march, set to the song 'Heather' which McCartney penned for his recent album 'Driving Rain'. Heather carried a bouquet of 11 McCartney roses, named in honour of her new husband, and two peonies. And as the beaming pair walked down the aisle after the formal part of the ceremony, the organ played the Wedding March from the film 'The Family Way', for which Sir Paul wrote the soundtrack in the 60s. Guests included Beatles drummer Ringo Starr and the band's producer Sir George Martin, commonly known as the fifth Beatle, as well as Pink Floyd guitarist Dave Gilmour. Sir Paul's 1969 Marylebone register office wedding to late wife Linda saw none of The Beatles invited. The ceremony was followed by a reception featuring five bands. The Irish location was chosen because his mother Mary Patricia Mohin, who died when her musician son was just 14, lived in nearby Castleblaney, Co Monaghan and was raised there before moving to Liverpool at the age of 11. A spokesman for Sir Paul said: "The ceremony was joyful and moving. Heather captured the hearts of the congregation when, overcome by the emotion of the occasion, she briefly faltered and wept tears of joy whilst making her vows." Sir Paul's brother Mike was best man, a role he carried out at the Marylebone wedding three decades ago, and wore a brown three-piece suit with a pink-red McCartney rose buttonhole. Heather, who was eight minutes late, was given away by her sister Fiona Mills and wore a fitted ecru lace dress which she designed herself. It was made by Eavis & Brown. Heather's hair was styled by Amanda Amos from Brighton and her makeup was by Mathew Alexander of Michael John. Instead of a traditional reading the couple's friend, poet Adrian Mitchell, read 'Roses In The Summertime', a poem he wrote specially for the newlyweds. Hymns at the 30-minute service were 'Praise My Soul The King of Heaven' and 'Lord Of All Hopefulness'. Sir Paul and his new bride had been keen to keep the event under wraps, but news of the location leaked out and the estate owner let the date slip.Preparations had been continuing for days to ensure it was all to the couple's specifications. Sir Paul, 59, and his 34-year-old bride arrived on Sunday and posed for photographs outside the castle grounds on Monday. He said then: "We would just like to thank all the people who have wished us good wishes and who have written to us." The pair are believed to have turned down a £1.5 million offer for the rights to the wedding photos from a glossy magazine. The ceremony ended with a peel of bells from the church which rang out across the grounds and indicated to onlookers that the pair were now husband and wife. Guests, who also included former Pretenders star Chrissie Hynde, a good friend of Linda and a fellow animal campaigner, dined on an Indian-themed vegetarian breakfast. Sir Paul had bought the engagement ring in India as he and Heather enjoyed a holiday in Rajasthan, but he waited until they took a break in the Lake District last year until he popped the question. They wanted the ceremony to be private but agreed to release an official photograph in return for donations to the charity Adopt-A-Minefield UK. Heather, who lost a leg when hit by a police motorbike, has campaigned for a number of years for landmine victims. Heavy rain fell throughout much of the day but the couple avoided the downpours by heading from the castle, where they were staying, to the church under a specially-constructed covered walkway. Several marquees were set up in the extensive grounds of the estate to accommodate the revellers, who also included relatives of Linda. A spectacular firework display later took place for the guests who included Sir Paul's children Stella, Mary and James and his stepdaughter Heather, from Linda's first marriage. Around 500 local people had gathered to see the five minute show, which illuminated the village of Glaslough. Following the dramatic display, gentle and romantic music drifted from the estate. Shortly afterwards, a helicopter took off from the castle estate believed to be carrying Sir Paul and Ms Mills. The luxury helicopter circled the estate before heading to Belfast International Airport where the couple were expected to depart on their honeymoon. According to some press reports the couple, now Sir Paul and Lady McCartney, were said to have signed a £20 million pre-nuptial deal should the marriage end in divorce. The UK Daily Mail alleged that Sir Paul, though to be worth £700 million (USD$1billion) had bowed to pressure from daughter Stella, who is thought to have opposed the marriage. However, the reports were today denied by Sir Paul's spokesman.
