Mel B is set to celebrate her nuptials with Rory McPhee a second time, giving her Spice Girls bandmates a chance to attend after not being present on her big day.
The musician, 50, tied the knot with her hairstylist partner, 37, after six years of dating, but three of her former bandmates were nowhere to be seen at the St Paul’s Cathedral ceremony.
Emma Bunton looked stylish in a baby pink number for the event, while Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chisholm shared well-wishes online as they could not be in attendance.
Geri Halliwell, meanwhile, remains radio silent online, seemingly ‘snubbing’ Scary Spice and her wedding day.
However, the girl group has another chance to get with their friend as she plans a ‘more informal and sexy’ ceremony abroad.
Speaking to The Sun, she teased the glamorous gown she had splashed out on for the occasion.
‘In one incredible afternoon, I found two perfect dresses,’ she revealed.
‘One beautiful classic dress by Josephine Scott, a British designer, and one stunning dramatic dress by a US designer, Justin Alexander’.
The couple tied the knot before enjoying a lavish £28,000 reception at The Shard in London.
The guest list was truly star-studded, with Katherine Ryan, Alan Carr, Gaby Roslin, Cara Delevingne, and Daisy Lowe all in attendance.
Sharing her congratulations with the couple, Victoria, 51, took to Instagram to share a throwback picture of the pair with a touching message.
‘Congratulations @officalmelb @rorymcphee on your special day! I couldn’t be more excited for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! kisses xx,’ she said.
Meanwhile, Mel C, 51, said she was ‘gutted’ to miss out on the nuptials.
Sharing a snap from the day, she wrote on Insta to the newlyweds: ‘So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn’t be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!’
Details on why Geri, 52, opted to skip the wedding are unknown, but it has been reported that their troubled relationship over the years had something to do with it.
The former bandmates were once reportedly unable to be in the same room due to animosity between them and their tendency to fight.
When appearing on Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, Mel made the bombshell confession that she and Geri had an intimate relationship during the band’s early days.
It’s believed Geri was upset by the revelation, for which Mel never apologised. Her husband, Christian Horner, was also reportedly angered by the claims.
