Mel B, a member of the iconic Spice Girls, is celebrating a major milestone as she ties the knot with her fiancé, Rory McPhee, in a lavish ceremony at St. Faith’s Chapel, located within the crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The 50-year-old star arrived at the venue dressed in her signature leopard print attire, exuding a relaxed demeanor as she prepared for her big day.
The chapel, renowned for its opulent decor, was adorned with stunning white floral arrangements, creating an enchanting atmosphere for the ceremony. Guests gathered outside, filled with excitement and anticipation for the arrival of the bridal party.
Among the notable attendees is fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton, who arrived looking lovely in a pink dress and matching hat. While Mel had kept her guest list mostly under wraps, it was confirmed that Victoria Beckham and Geri Horner, both fellow bandmates, would not be in attendance. Victoria expressed her congratulations to Mel and Rory through an Instagram post, wishing them a lifetime of happiness.
Reports suggest that Geri’s absence may be due to ongoing tensions between her and Mel, a situation that neither party has publicly addressed. The last public reunion of the Spice Girls took place in 2019 during a UK tour, and since then, Mel has hinted at varying levels of contact among the members.
In addition to Emma, comedian Tom Allen was also spotted, expressing his joy at being part of the celebration. The wedding, taking place in such a prestigious venue, marks a significant and traditional event for Mel, known for her contemporary flair. The cathedral has previously hosted high-profile ceremonies, including that of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
Mel and Rory’s romance began over three years ago, culminating in their engagement in 2022, which Mel described as finding “the love of her life.” Their relationship has been a source of healing for Mel, especially following her previous tumultuous marriage. The couple has shared glimpses of their life together while largely keeping their relationship private.
As the festivities unfold, attention remains on which other celebrity guests might make an appearance and whether other Spice Girls will join to celebrate this momentous occasion. This wedding symbolizes not just a union, but a hopeful new chapter in Mel B’s life, filled with love and joy.
