Mel B shunned tradition as she tied the knot with husband Rory McPhee in 'spiritual' second wedding in Morocco over the weekend.

Mel B's Moroccan Ménage à Trois: A Tale of Two Weddings, Scandal, and Spice Girls Drama

In a shocking turn of events, Mel B has finally tied the knot with her husband Rory McPhee in a lavish "spiritual" second wedding celebration in Morocco over the weekend. But don't be fooled – this wasn't just any ordinary nuptials. The Spice Girl singer shunned tradition and opted for a glamorous, three-day extravaganza that reflected her individual style and flair.

Just last month, Mel B and Rory exchanged vows in London's St Paul's Cathedral, followed by an evening reception at the Shangri-La hotel at The Shard. But while their first celebration was a picture-perfect, traditional affair with Mel donning a pearl-adorned white gown and arriving in a classic Bentley, this time around, she ditched her conventional attire for a sparkly red strapless number with a thigh-high split. And let's just say, it was LOVE at first sight – not just for the groom, but also for fashionistas everywhere.

While their first celebration was the picture of tradition, this time around, the multi-day occasion was a much more glamorous affair that paid homage to Mel's individual style

The guest list for the Moroccan celebration saw one notable absence: none other than Mel C, who had sent her apologies to the first wedding but flew out to Morocco to support her pal on their special day. Meanwhile, Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl to make an appearance at the London ceremony, with Victoria Beckham quick to offer up her apologies and pay tribute to Mel on social media.

But that's not all – sources close to the couple reveal that Geri Halliwell-Horner had been invited to extend an olive branch to Mel B at the Moroccan celebrations, amid rumors of a Spice Girls reunion. However, it seems like that wasn't meant to be. The tension between the two has been palpable in recent months, with many speculating about the reasons behind their apparent rift.

The significance of Morocco is not lost on fans – after all, it was there that the Spice Girls jetted off for a mini-reunion a decade ago to celebrate David Beckham's 40th birthday. And while Mel B was noticeably absent from that gathering (Eva Longoria filled in for Scary, joking "I'm the new Spice Girl! #LatinaSpice"), it seems like this latest celebration was an opportunity for her to make up for lost time.

But what really caught our attention was the guest list – or rather, the conspicuous absence of certain Spice Girls. So, where were Mel C and Geri Halliwell-Horner? And why did they choose not to attend the Moroccan celebrations? Insiders claim that tensions between the two women have been simmering for months, with some even speculating about a permanent rift.

Now, let's get back to the important stuff – the wedding dress. Mel B opted for a stunning Justin Alexander gown, hand-beaded with rich red crystals and bugle beads, creating a mesmerizing floating effect across the illusion bodice and skirt. The whole thing took an impressive 850 hours to complete by a team of six artisans! Talk about dedication to their craft.

And Rory McPhee didn't disappoint either – he flew the flag for UK designers with a twist on the traditional black tie, wearing an outfit by Alexander McQueen.

Meanwhile, the guest list saw one person that couldn't make the London do in attendance - non other than Mel's fellow Spice Girl Melanie C , with the star being the only Spice Girl to make it

But what really sets this wedding apart is the Moroccan-inspired theme. From the vibrant table settings adorned with lanterns and laser-cut paper place settings to the ornate crockery and cutlery, every detail was meticulously planned to reflect Mel B's love for all things exotic and glamorous.

So, what did we learn from this spicy saga? For one, Mel B isn't afraid to break with tradition when it comes to her wedding celebrations. And two, there's still a lot of drama brewing between the Spice Girls – but perhaps that's a story for another time.

TheScholarlyNote.com understands that the Moroccan celebrations were a three-day extravaganza held at the Selman Marrakech hotel from August 1-3. The outdoor spiritual ceremony was followed by dinner and a wedding brunch, with guests enjoying the vibrant, fiery atmosphere that reflected Scary Spice's signature style.

While she didn't post any snaps on her own social media, she didn't comment on Mel B's Instagram post, writing: 'What a weekend! So happy we got to share it with you [three heart emojis]'

As for Mel C's Instagram post, she simply wrote: "What a weekend! So happy we got to share it with you [three heart emojis]." But what really caught our attention was her decision not to comment on Mel B's Instagram post – or at least, that's what the speculation is all about.

So there you have it – the juicy details of Mel B's Moroccan ménage à trois. Will this be the Spice Girls reunion we've been waiting for? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: with Mel B leading the charge, it's going to be a wild ride.
