    They headed to Cut Steakhouse in Beverly Hills for their first date. Expressing his admiration and affection for his wife, McCartney conveyed,

    "It started with just her sense of humor and our compatibility. I knew that we just had this effortless way about each other, and everything that we did just seemed like it was so easy … We just have a good flow. She knows when to push, she knows when to pull, and vice-versa."
