Spice Girls star Mel B, known to fans as "Scary Spice," has tied the knot with hairstylist Rory McPhee in a romantic ceremony held in London. The couple exchanged vows on Saturday at The Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral, a historic venue beneath the iconic landmark.
Mel B, whose full name is Melanie Brown, wore a custom ivory gown by designer Josephine Scott, featuring a pearl-adorned neckline. Caroline Black, owner of Evelie Bridal Boutiques in London, told People that Mel B was “a dream to work with,” noting the singer brought her own style to the event.
Following the ceremony, the newlyweds hosted a reception at the Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard, where Mel B changed into a second dress by designer Justin Alexander. The guest list included notable names such as model Cara Delevingne, comedian Katherine Ryan, and Daisy Lowe, daughter of musician Gavin Rossdale.
Fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton, known as “Baby Spice,” was reportedly the only group member in attendance. Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie C (Sporty Spice), and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) did not attend.
Mel B’s daughters—Phoenix, 26; Angel, 18; and Madison, 13—served as bridesmaids, making the celebration a deeply personal affair. The singer, 50, became engaged to McPhee, 37, in October 2022 after dating for three years. She shared details of the proposal on the UK show Celebrity Gogglebox, describing it as a romantic evening filled with rose petals and a log fire at Cliveden House.
The couple reportedly met through Mel B’s cousin, actor Christian Cooke, who is friends with McPhee. This marks Mel B’s third marriage; her previous unions were with Jimmy Gulzar and Stephen Belafonte, the latter of whom she accused of abuse—allegations he has denied.
