Victoria Beckham and Mel C Send Lyrical Well Wishes After Mel B’s St. Paul’s Nuptials
Wreathed in the opulent hush of St. Paul’s Cathedral, news blossomed that two Spice Girls—Victoria Beckham and Melanie C—could not stand beside their sister Melanie Brown as she vowed forever to Rory McPhee. A wannabe poet might sigh that even icons tread the fragile line between duty and desire, yet Posh and Sporty Spice dispatched their love across London’s gilded rooftops.
Victoria Beckham, cloaked in her trademark grace, unfurled congratulations in delicate script on her Instagram Story, exclaiming “Congratulations to you both! We hope you had the most amazing day!!” Meanwhile, Mel C confessed she was “beyond gutted” at missing the ceremony, promising “Excited to celebrate with you really soon! Yippee!” Their digital embraces—vouched for by E! Online and relayed through The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—became sonnets of sisterhood across social media.
In the sanctuary’s Crypt on July 5, the radiant Mel B traded vows wearing an ivory custom gown by Josephine Scott, later dazzling in a wispy Justin Alexander number. Her daughters Pheonix Chi, Angel Iris and Madison formed a living bouquet as her bridesmaids. Beside her, McPhee honored his Scottish roots in a red-and-green tartan quilt draped elegantly over a tuxedo jacket. Every detail, from the ancient stones of St. Paul’s to the whispered MBE privilege—granted after Prince William lauded Brown’s domestic violence advocacy—conspired to elevate this coupling beyond mere ceremony.
Emma Bunton, the ever-cherubic Baby Spice, provided at least one familiar face among guests. Cara Delevingne, Daisy Lowe, and Katherine Ryan lent their star wattage, turning the crypt into a clandestine stage for joy and reunion. The wedding’s extraordinary setting—highlighted in Celebrity Gogglebox and People—was whispered about for its exclusivity: only those of special distinction may wed where monarchs and heroes have stood.
The tale of Mel B’s proposal reads like a pastoral reverie: rose petals strewn beside a crackling hearth at Cliveden, Berkshire, the summer of 2022. McPhee’s vow, “I love you, you’re my best friend,” remains a refrain in tabloids and hearts alike.
Beyond London’s grand dome, 2025 has witnessed other vows: Erin Krakow’s quiet Hallmark tie, Michelle Young’s Minnesota jubilation, Hailee Steinfeld’s California romance with Josh Allen, and Bachelor Zach Shallcross’s Texas “cute little chapel” dream. Yet none carry the spice of a cathedral crypt wedding.
A final flourish of poetic ink: even when sisters stand apart, their hearts compose a harmony that resonates through vaulted ceilings and shimmering screens. A bittersweet ending, or merely the beginning? And so, the petals settle, leaving echoing footsteps in the grand corridor of our collective reverie.
