Mel B's olive branch for Geri as she plans second ceremony after lavish London wedding

Melanie Brown, better known as Mel B, recently tied the knot with long-term partner, Rory McPhee, at an intimate ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral in London this weekend. They said their 'I dos' at the venue after their three-year engagement. Mel and family friend Rory, 37, have known each other for years, and he has worked as her hairstylist.

Things are thought to have turned romantic between the pair in 2018 and Rory proposed to Mel back in 2022. While fans were eager to spot fellow Spice Girls in attendance, only Emma Bunton, 49, was photographed at the event. As Mel C couldn't attend, she took to her Instagram page to pay tribute to her pal.

Meanwhile, Geri Horner was noticeably absent as Mel tied the knot with fiancé Rory. Geri also chose not to post any well wishes to Mel B on social media, adding further fuel to the fire on their rift.

It's said Mel B and her new husband, along with their guests, enjoyed a lavish reception at the Shangri-La at The Shard for drinks, food, followed by an evening filled with dancing.

Although the couple already enjoyed a ceremony, it has been revealed there will be a second ceremony abroad this summer, which Mel B says will be "more informal, sexy and beautiful". It will act as a second chance for Mel's former bandmates to celebrate her marriage.

She told The Sun: "In one incredible afternoon I found two perfect dresses. One beautiful classic dress by Josephine Scott, a British designer, and one stunning dramatic dress by a US designer, Justin Alexander.”

Meanwhile, Victoria Beckham, who was notably absent, took a moment to acknowledge Mel’s special day via Instagram. Posting a glamorous throwback of the two bandmates, Victoria captioned it with: “Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx.”

Mel C, who was also unable to attend, shared her congratulations online. Posting a happy photo of the bride and groom, she wrote: “So so happy for you both and beyond gutted I couldn't be there. Excited to celebrate with you really soon. Yipee!”

Scary Spice recently took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes image from her special day. Captured from behind in her gown, Mel stood with her back to the camera, revealing the words “Just Married” delicately embroidered on her dress.

Her bridal look featured a gorgeous long veil and pearl embellishments at the collar and cuffs, giving the ensemble a timeless and regal finish.

Her husband Rory, 37, opted for a nod to his heritage, wearing a traditional Scottish kilt.

The happy couple shared a smooch on the steps of the cathedral before leaving the venue in a white, horse-drawn carriage - a fairy-tale moment for the newlyweds.

Guests followed in true British style, riding to the reception in classic red double-decker Routemaster buses.
