Watch A Rare Footage Of Linda and Paul McCartney In Their Home

via Far Out Magazine / Youtube

We love a good video featuring power couples living their normal, ordinary life. Presented below is a rare 8mm home footage of Linda and Paul McCartney, inside an unfamiliar place but with a familiar comfort it brings.

Paul McCartney first met his future wife, American photographer Linda Eastman, on May 15, 1967, at a Georgie Fame concert at London’s Bag O’Nails. They wed in March 1969. They had been dating for a year before Paul proposed, but almost didnโ€™t get married because of a huge fight they had a few hours before the wedding.

โ€œWe had a big argument the night before we got married, and it was nearly called off,โ€ McCartney told Ultimate Classic Rock. โ€œWe were very up and down, quite funky compared to the eventual image of โ€˜25 years of married bliss! Arenโ€™t they lucky for people in showbiz?โ€™โ€

After marrying in 1969, Paul and Linda McCartney went on to have three children together: Mary (born in 1969), Stella (born in 1971), and James (born in 1977). During their 25+ years of marriage, they did everything from exploring the world to making music together. Then, in 1995, Linda received a breast cancer diagnosis. She was 56 years old when she finally lost her battle with the disease on April 17, 1998.

The video below shows a funny yet endearing side of the couple. They make a show of being angry for two minutes straight by wagging their fingers and shaking their heads. Paul gives Linda a small setย of flowers as an apology, which she promptly sets in a pretty yellow vase.
