Mel B's Adorable Yorkshire Terrier Takes the Stage as Ringbearer at St Paul's Wedding

Mel B's Yorkshire Terrier Cookie proved she's woman's best friend as she played a very special role during the Spice Girls' wedding to hairdresser Rory McPhee on Saturday

The wait is over for fans of Spice Girl Mel B as she finally says "I do" to her long-time love Rory McPhee in a stunning ceremony at the iconic St Paul's Cathedral. And, in a move that's sure to raise eyebrows, the bride brought along her trusty sidekick Yorkshire Terrier Cookie - who stole the show as ringbearer!

The adorable pup was seen being carried into the historic venue by a well-wisher, looking every inch the diva in its bright pink coat (a nod to Mel's infamous fashion choices). And, despite the unconventional addition to the ceremony, Cookie clearly stole the hearts of everyone in attendance - especially the bride herself.

As for Mel, she was a vision in white as she walked down the aisle in a breathtaking pearl-adorned gown. The sheer illusion design and ruched bodice were perfectly offset by her flowing veil, while her radiant smile lit up the entire cathedral. And when it came to walking the catwalk (or rather, the aisle), Mel's got some serious competition - after all, who needs a supermodel when you've got a Spice Girl on hand?

But amidst all the glamour and glitz, there was one very special tribute to Mel's late father Martin Brown. Mel's pal James Steen stepped in to walk her down the aisle, a poignant reminder of the loved ones she's lost along the way.

And as for Rory, he looked dashing in his traditional Scottish attire - complete with a red and green tartan kilt that had us all wondering if we'd stumbled into a Highland Fling. But hey, when you've got a Spice Girl on your arm, why not go big or go home?

Of course, no Spice Girls' wedding would be complete without a few familiar faces in attendance - and Emma Bunton (aka Baby Spice) was front and center to support her pal Mel as she walked down the aisle for the third time. We hear Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, and Melanie Chisholm were all notably absent from the ceremony, but we can only assume they'll be joining in on the fun at the reception.

Speaking of which, Mel's spared no expense when it comes to her big day - she's hired out the entire Shard (yes, you read that right) for a "party in the sky" reception that promises to go down in history as one of the wildest and most unforgettable bashes of the century. And with an all-star guest list featuring the likes of Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan, Gaby Roslin, and more, we can only imagine the fireworks (pun intended) that will be going off tonight.

But what's behind Mel's decision to tie the knot with Rory? Sources close to the couple claim it was a whirlwind romance - three years in the making, to be exact. And when Rory got down on one knee and presented Mel with a stunning £100k diamond ring, we're told she was over the moon.

While Cookie was adorable - she couldn't upstage blushing bride Mel B - who looked incredible in a pearl-adorned white gown as she arrived.

In fact, Mel's so smitten with her new husband that she's credited him with making her feel "more confident than ever". Talk about a love story for the ages!

So here's to Mel B and Rory McPhee - may their love continue to shine bright like a diamond (ahem) for years to come. And who knows? Maybe Cookie will even make an appearance at the wedding reception - after all, we hear there's a dog-friendly section of the Shard reserved just for our furry friends.
