Mel B and Rory McPhee’s wedding was a landmark event not just for the couple but for the venue itself. Held in the Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, the ceremony made headlines for taking place at the same location where Princess Diana and Prince Charles were famously wed in 1981. The former Spice Girl, who was awarded an MBE in 2022 by Prince William for her work advocating against domestic violence, was granted special permission to marry at the historic site—an honor typically reserved for royalty or those recognized for exceptional service.
Mel B, who currently serves as a judge on America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League, had previously described how rare it was to hold a wedding there during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. She explained that following her MBE recognition, she was considered “special enough” to receive the cathedral’s approval for the ceremony. The event was deeply personal for Mel B, who was accompanied by her three daughters—Phoenix, Angel Iris, and Madison—as bridesmaids. Each daughter is from a different relationship and ranged in age from teens to mid-twenties.
For her bridal look, Mel B turned to designer Josephine Scott for a custom ivory gown worn during the main ceremony. Later, she changed into a dress by Justin Alexander. After the wedding, she shared a photo on Instagram with Rory McPhee, captioned simply with the wedding date, 05.07.25, and a heart emoji. The post confirmed the event and gave fans their first look at the newlyweds.
The wedding guest list was filled with famous faces. Emma Bunton, Mel B’s fellow Spice Girl known as Baby Spice, attended along with model Cara Delevingne, comedian Katherine Ryan, and Daisy Lowe. Notably absent were the other three Spice Girls—Melanie C, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham—whose nonappearance raised eyebrows among fans.
Mel B and Rory McPhee first met while working on The Masked Singer. After dating for three years, Rory proposed in 2022. Despite two previous marriages and a public vow never to marry again, Mel B credited Rory with changing her perspective. The wedding served as a celebration of resilience and renewed hope, set against the backdrop of one of Britain’s most iconic landmarks.
