Spice Girl Mel B marries in lavish London wedding

Melanie Brown, better known a Scary Spice, married hair stylist Rory McPhee in a star-studded ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral, but only one of her former bandmates was there.

Spice Girls singer Mel B and hairstylist Rory McPhee said “I do” Saturday in London, tying

the knot at a romantic ceremony in The Crypt of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Scary Spice, whose real name is Melanie Brown, wore an ivory custom gown from Josephine Scott that had a stunning neckline covered in pearls.

“Mel was a dream to work with, bringing her own sense of style to the occasion,” Caroline Black, the owner of Evelie Bridal Boutiques in London, told People.

After the nuptials, the Wannabe singer changed into a dress from designer Justin Alexander for a star-studded reception at the Shangri-La Hotel inside The Shard.

Notable guests present included Emma Bunton, also known as “Baby Spice,” who appears to have been the only other member from the popular girl group at the wedding.

Victoria Beckham, formerly known as “Posh Spice,” as well as “Sporty Spice” Melanie Chisholm and “Ginger Spice” Geri Halliwell were reportedly not in attendance.

Other famous faces on Mel B’s big day, though, included Cara Delevingne, Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan and Gavin Rossdale’s daughter, Daisy Lowe.

For her bridesmaids, the Say You’ll Be There singer kept it intimate, making her three daughters Phoenix, 26, Angel, 18, and Madison, 13, have the honour.

Mel B, 50, and McPhee, 37, got engaged in October 2022 after three years of dating.

“He said, ‘I love you, you’re my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,’” the pop star announced on the UK TV show Celebrity Gogglebox at the time.

“There were rose petals everywhere, a log fire, a hotel — which was Cliveden. It was very romantic. I love flowers.”

The couple reportedly met through Mel B’s cousin, Christian Cooke, who is friends with McPhee.

This is the 2 Become 1 singer’s third marriage. She was previously married to Jimmy Gulzar from 1998 to 2000 and Stephen Belafonte from 2007 to 2018.

Mel B previously accused Belefante of abuse and filed a restraining order against him. However, the film producer, 50, has emphatically denied those allegations.
