McCartney and Mills at their wedding. McCartney and Mills at their wedding. By Irish America Staff Ex-Beatle Paul McCartney married Heather Mills in a ceremony at San Salvator’s Church in the village of Glaslough, Co. Monaghan on June 11th, 2002 – a location which McCartney told reporters was chosen because his mother had been born in Co. Monaghan. After the ceremony, the 300 wedding guests were entertained in lavish style in the nearby 17th century estate of Castle Leslie. As tradition dictates, Mills was slightly late for the 4:30p.m. ceremony and reportedly faltered and wept tears of joy as she uttered her vows. She wore a wedding dress she helped create with designers Eavis &Brown and carded 11 McCartney roses (named for Sir Paul) in honor of her new husband and two peonies.
