Weddings are always full of emotion, but Mel B’s recent nuptials were a blend of glam, nostalgia, and a little bit of girl band tension.
Over the weekend, the Spice Girls star tied the knot with her long-time partner Rory McPhee in a lavish ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral, followed by a swanky £28,000 reception at The Shard in London.
And while the day sparkled with joy, it wasn’t without a few raised eyebrows—especially around who showed up, and who didn’t.
A Stunning Dress, a Scottish Kilt, and a “Just Married” Statement Piece
Mel B, 50, gave fans a behind-the-scenes peek at her wedding day on Instagram.
One standout detail? Her bridal outfit included a cute, quirky white cardigan with “Just Married” embroidered across the back.
In a striking black-and-white photo, she stood beside her new husband Rory, 37, who looked sharp in a suit and traditional red tartan kilt.
The caption? Simple but powerful: “MARRIED”.
Their wedding look quickly caught the attention of friends and fans alike—with celebs jumping into the comments to offer congratulations.
Well-Wishes from Celebs Pour In, But One Notable Silence from a Fellow Spice
While a string of famous faces like Heidi Klum, Paloma Faith, and Katie Piper sent in their heartfelt congrats, Geri Halliwell’s absence didn’t go unnoticed.
Not only did Ginger Spice skip the big day, but she also stayed completely silent on social media.
Given the famously rocky relationship between the two, fans were quick to pick up on the tension.
Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham—who also didn’t attend—was all love from afar.
She posted throwback snaps and sweet messages, calling the bride radiant and wishing the couple a lifetime of happiness.
Victoria’s camp made it clear her absence was due to a long-standing out-of-country engagement, not drama.
Mel C Misses Out Too, But Sends Her Love from Sweden
Melanie C (Sporty Spice) was another bandmate missing from the guest list—but she had a good reason.
She was performing in Sweden and couldn’t be there in person.
Still, she made her feelings known with a touching Instagram post featuring the happy couple.
She admitted she was “gutted” to miss it and promised to celebrate with them soon.
Geri and Mel B’s Bumpy Past Resurfaces on the Big Day
While most of the Spice Girls seemed genuinely happy for Mel B, the icy silence from Geri Halliwell brought back memories of past drama.
Back in 2019, Mel publicly claimed during an interview with Piers Morgan that she and Geri had once shared an intimate moment during their Spice Girls heyday.
Geri reportedly never forgave her, and sources say her husband, Christian Horner, was “mortified” by the revelation.
It’s believed Mel never apologised, which may explain the ongoing chill between them.
Emma Bunton Stands Out as the Only Spice Girl in Attendance
One bandmate who did show up was Emma Bunton.
Baby Spice looked gorgeous in a soft pink dress and made the day extra special by bringing along her husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17.
Emma even took time to stop for fans and sign autographs outside the cathedral—pure class.
Mel’s Family Brings the Love and Colour
Mel’s daughters were right by her side, looking proud and glowing with joy.
Phoenix Chi, 26, wore a lovely blue silk dress and was joined by her partner AJ Anderson.
Angel Iris, 18—who now identifies as male—opted for a sleek black suit, and Madison, 13, wowed in a bright pink dress and matching fascinator.
The family vibes were strong, and it was clear the day meant everything to Mel.
Celebrity Guest List Lights Up the Ceremony
The guest list was full of familiar faces.
Comedians Alan Carr and Katherine Ryan, presenters Gaby Roslin and Angellica Bell, and even Cara Delevingne were all spotted at the ceremony.
Former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller also made an appearance, cementing the event’s full-circle feel for Mel’s music journey.
From Pearl-Adorned Gown to Bentley Arrival, Mel Was Every Bit the Blushing Bride
Mel walked down the aisle for the third time, and this might just be her most glamorous wedding yet.
Her dress? A show-stopping white gown with sheer illusion panels, a ruched bodice, and delicate pearl detailing.
She topped it off with a flowing veil that added just the right touch of tradition.
She arrived at the cathedral in a classic white Bentley, flashing a big smile as she adjusted her veil and stepped out for the ceremony.
No Bad Blood from Posh—Just Bad Timing
Despite Victoria Beckham’s physical absence, her messages made it clear there’s no tension between her and Mel B.
A source explained that Victoria had long-standing international commitments and couldn’t attend, but she adores Mel and sent her love in full.
“It’s just one of those things,” the source added. “No falling out. No drama.”
A Day to Remember, Even Without a Full Spice Reunion
Mel B may not have had all her Spice Girls sisters physically by her side, but the day was still full of celebration, support, and sparkle.
With fans and friends sharing in her joy online, and a new chapter beginning with Rory, it’s safe to say that Mrs. McPhee is starting married life in style—even if the Spice mix wasn’t totally complete.
