While there won’t be a full Spice Girls reunion when Melanie B ties the knot with Rory McPhee, former bandmate Victoria Beckham has shared a touching message with her pal
Victoria Beckham shared a sweet message with former bandmate Mel B as the Spice Girls icon gets ready to tie the knot. Over 30 years on from the two meeting and becoming part of the iconic group, they still share a special bond.
And despite Posh not being at her pal’s special day, she has shared a touching message in the build-up. She took to her Instagram Stories to share a sweet tribute ahead of the ceremony.
Posting a photograph of her and Melanie together at a recent event, Victoria sent her well-wishes. IN the caption she gushed: “Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx”
It comes as Melanie and Rory prepare to say “I do” in one of the most iconic landmarks in the UK, St Paul’s Cathedral in London. They will follow in the footsteps of the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and now King Charles, who also tied the knot at the prestigious location.
But Victoria won’t be there to watch the pair exchange vows. Neither will former bandmate Geri Halliwell, although Emma Bunton is thought to be on the guest list.
Victoria and Geri’s no-show is in no way a snub to the singer. Instead, they said it’s solely due to busy schedules, which we exclusively revealed earlier this week.
A source close to the band told the Mirror: “There’s no snub, the girls are all on friendly terms with one another, but it’s no secret that Geri is busy with Christian at Formula One and Victoria is extremely busy with her fashion brand.”
It’s thought Victoria’s plans will see her on a project in another country. Melanie C, known as Sporty Spice, meanwhile, is currently on tour and will be performing in Rødovre, eastern Denmark.
The wedding follows Melanie’s lavish hen do in Tunisia recently. She was joined by some of her closest friends, beloved mum Andrea, sister Danielle and her eldest daughter, Pheonix.
For the occasion, she dressed in her iconic leopard print bikini and described the event as her “Zen party.” And speaking about her big day, she recently told Women’s Wear Daily: “This will be a very formal, English wedding where I want to feel regal and very proper.
“All the ladies will wear hats or fascinators. Then, I’m having a second ceremony abroad, which will be more informal, sexy and beautiful.”
Mel family friend Rory, who is 13 years her junior, have known each other for years. He has worked as her hairstylist and it’s thought the duo first became romantically attached in 2018. He later proposed to her in 2022.
