None of the other Beatles were present at the ceremony in an attempt to minimize the amount of fans in the area at the time. Although Harrison and his wife had planned a reception at the Ritz Hotel, it wasn't meant to be, as police raided his home and found controlled substances throughout.
Fans who were witness to the couple after the ceremony were happy with McCartney's choice, though possibly a bit surprised.
