Overview

• Mel B and Rory McPhee exchanged vows at St Paul’s Cathedral on July 5, leveraging her 2022 MBE to secure the exclusive OBE Chapel venue.
• Their reception at Shangri-La The Shard was unexpectedly low-key, with most guests departing by 7 pm after just over two hours of socialising.
• Emma Bunton was the sole Spice Girl present at the London service, while Victoria Beckham and Melanie C sent apologies on social media and Geri Halliwell has not commented.
• The couple will hold a second ceremony in Morocco later this summer, describing it as “more informal, sexy and beautiful” and evoking the group’s 2015 mini reunion there.
• Lingering tensions stem from Mel B’s 2019 public revelation of a past romance with Geri Halliwell, which has continued to influence their relationship dynamics.
