Mel B married her partner Rory McPhee over the weekend and guests at the star-studded wedding at St Paul’s Cathedral included Katherine Ryan and her husband Bobby Kootstra
Wedding guest Katherine Ryan has criticised her own appearance after watching Mel B and her fiancé Rory McPhee get married over the weekend. She has poked fun at how she looked after creating part of her outfit herself at home.
Mel, 50, tied the knot with hairstylist Rory, 37, at St Paul’s Cathedral in London on Saturday. Katherine, 42, and her husband Bobby Kootstra, also 42, were among the guests, with them spotted outside the venue at the star-studded event.
Katherine has since reflected on the experience on her podcast Telling Everybody Everything. She shared on the latest episode, released yesterday, that she was “so touched” to be invited, particularly as a Spice Girls fan.
She however told listeners: “I looked like s*** at Mel B’s wedding, everybody knows it!” Katherine went on to discuss her outfit, including revealing that she had to get creative when it came to the headpiece that she wore.
Katherine, who previously announced that she’s pregnant, said that she didn’t know how “big” she would be so had decided to get a “flowy” dress. Describing her chosen blue dress, she said: “It almost looks like bed linen. It’s very dreamy.”
The comedian, who said that she finds it “so difficult” to get ready at home with her three children around, said: “I don’t have the thinnest arms for it. I’m too pale for it.” She told listeners: “It was awful – no offence to the designer!”
She also said: “I put my hair down, which was absolutely the wrong way to do it.” Katherine then shared that she had previously shaved the back of her neck because of her “low” hairline, adding: “I can’t put my hair up right now because I’ve chosen to grow this like neck out and it ruined the look.”
The wedding guest continued by saying that the dress code for the ceremony included hats and fascinators for women. Adhering to the invitation, she recalled ordered a “beautiful” fascinator ahead of the special occasion last week.
Katherine however said that because she “panicked last minute” it wasn’t the right shade of blue to match her dress. She told fans that she had to craft a flower into a headline instead, saying: “I ended up chopping an orchid from my kitchen and sticking that in my head.”
Addressing her look, she said: “It was giving ugly step-sister. Like I truly s*** the bed on the look.” Further sharing her thoughts, Katherine teased that she now feels like she “ruined the aesthetic” of the wedding.
Katherine said that her husband Bobby, who opted for a cream suit, “didn’t like his look” either. She said on the latest episode of her podcast: “I don’t think we’ve ever looked worse … on like the most important day of someone’s life.”
Whilst talking about the wedding, Katherine shared her surprise over the guestlist. She said: “Everyone there was like a close personal friend, or family member, or Northern. Y’know someone she really knew. […] It had a real grassroots like true friendship and family vibe. It was a lovely, lovely wedding.”
