Mel B Marries Hairstylist Rory McPhee in Enchanting St. Paul’s Cathedral Wedding
Brace for a momentous update: award-winning coverage reveals Spice Girls icon Melanie “Mel B” Brown and hairstylist Rory McPhee exchanged vows in the storied Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral on July 5, 2025. After six years of courtship—marked by a proposal amid rose petals and a roaring log fire at Cliveden—Brown, 50, donned an ivory custom gown by Josephine Scott before slipping into a second creation by Justin Alexander. Early this year, Brown also confirmed that Victoria Beckham designed one of her ceremonial dresses, telling Today with Hoda & Jenna that it was “such a beautiful honor to get.”
The ceremony’s guest list read like a fashion-forward muster: Emma Bunton, Cara Delevingne, Daisy Lowe and comedian Katherine Ryan were all on hand to celebrate. Brown’s three daughters—Phoenix Chi, 26; Angel Iris, 18; and Madison, 13—served as bridesmaids, adding a touching family dimension to the festivities. Social media lit up as Brown shared a single Instagram image of the pair outside the cathedral, captioned simply “05.07.25.”
Securing a wedding license at St. Paul’s isn’t open to just anyone. Brown, appointed an MBE by Prince William for her advocacy on domestic violence, noted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that “it’s a big deal because when you get married there—not many people are allowed.” The venue’s exclusivity underscores Brown’s unique standing within the British honors system.
Fans first glimpsed McPhee’s romantic proposal back in 2022, when Brown recounted to Ruby Wax on Celebrity Gogglebox how he proclaimed, “I love you, you’re my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,” amid petals and firelight. Three years later, their vision of a fairy-tale ceremony came to life beneath St. Paul’s neoclassical dome.
This landmark wedding caps off a banner year for celebrity nuptials. Hallmark stars Erin Krakow and Ben Rosenbaum slipped private vows in June; NFL quarterback Aaron (last name unconfirmed) quietly wed fiancée Brittani; and Bachelorette alum Michelle Young said “I do” to Jack Leius in Minnesota. Back in May, Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen sealed their romance in California, while Zach Shallcross and Kaity Biggar hosted a charming spring celebration.
Mel B and Rory McPhee’s union blends pop-culture pedigree with old-world grandeur, proving that six years of devotion can lead to one unforgettable July day. And that rounds up our exclusive report—stay tuned for the next chapter in this couple’s headline-making journey.
