Spice Girl Scandal: Mel B's Wedding Weekend a Low-Key Affair, Geri Halliwell Snubs Her Again!

In a shocking turn of events, Spice Girl Mel B's highly anticipated wedding weekend has been revealed to be a far cry from the wild party her fans expected. The 50-year-old songstress tied the knot with hairstylist Rory McPhee in a low-key ceremony at St Paul's Cathedral, leaving many wondering if she's finally settled down for good.

Despite the initial hype surrounding the wedding, which was rumored to be a lavish affair with a "party in the sky" theme, guests have come forward to reveal that things didn't exactly go as planned. According to insiders, Mel's friends and family were seen heading home by 7pm, long before the night was supposed to get wild.

The Celebrity Big Brother star gave insight into what really went on at the big bash, from a tube ride to St Paul's to a boozy party bus

But Angellica Bell, a Celebrity Big Brother star and close friend of the bride, gave fans a glimpse into what really went down on her Instagram page. The actress shared a video of herself taking a tube ride to St Paul's Cathedral, where she met up with Mel and other guests before heading to the Shangri-La hotel at The Shard for the reception.

The clip showed Angellica dancing the night away with Mel and their friends, but it was clear that things were much more subdued than initially thought. "A joyous occasion celebrating the marriage of @melb and @rorymcphee - thank you for letting us share the day with you," Angellica captioned the video. "Shout out to London Transport for getting us to @stpaulscathedrallondon .....(laughed with passengers on the central line)....the guys who ran the party bus, the fantastic hospitality @shangrilalondon and of course Cookie the Ring Bearer who was too cute!"

But it seems Mel's decision to keep things low-key wasn't just about her desire for a quiet celebration. Sources close to the couple revealed that they had initially planned a massive bash at The Shard, complete with a horse and carriage ride to the ceremony. However, it appears that plans were changed at the last minute, leaving fans wondering if Mel's been scaling back her wild ways.

As one insider dished, "I'd sort of thought for Scary Spice it would be a massive late night party with all the usual showbiz excess but it was the total opposite – it was actually rather low key. Perhaps she's grown up a lot in the last few years and settled down. It was all a long way from how she used to be."

But Mel's children, Phoenix, 26, and Angel, 18, were seen getting into the party spirit - albeit in a rather unexpected way. The young adults were spotted smoking rolled-up cigarettes outside the hotel entrance, with security having to move them away from the venue due to concerns about disturbing other guests.

And it seems Mel's not done celebrating just yet! The Spice Girl has revealed plans for a second wedding in Morocco this summer, which she's promised will be "more informal, sexy and beautiful." Guests at the first ceremony, including Emma Bunton and Alan Carr, were quick to offer their congratulations, but fellow bandmate Geri Halliwell remained mysteriously silent.

The day kicked off with a ceremony held at the iconic St Paul's cathedral, where Angellica was joined by comedians Alan Carr and Tom Allen

As fans know, Mel and Geri have had a tumultuous relationship over the years, with many wondering if they'll ever be able to put their differences aside. And it seems that this latest snub is just the icing on the cake - or should we say, the cherry on top of the wedding cake?

TheScholarlyNote.com has learned that Mel's second wedding will be a chance for her Spice Girls bandmates to make amends and show their support for the happy couple. And with Eva Longoria having already stepped in as a substitute Spice Girl at David Beckham's 40th birthday bash, it'll be interesting to see if any of the other girls will follow suit.
