Mel B's Sky-High Wedding Bash: £28,000 Party at The Shard
Spice Girl Scandal: Mel B's Blushing Bride Bash Hits High Notes and Low Notes
Get ready for a wedding extravaganza like no other! Spice Girl legend, Mel B (aka Mel Brown), is set to tie the knot with her fiancé Rory McPhee at the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral on Saturday. But that's not all - the festivities are about to get even more dramatic as she takes her guests on a wild ride to the top of The Shard for an unforgettable "party in the sky" bash!
According to sources, Mel has spared no expense when it comes to celebrating her special day with friends and family. The 50-year-old bride-to-be has booked out the luxurious Shangri-La venue inside the towering skyscraper, which boasts breathtaking panoramic views of London from its 95 floors. And we're talking about a party that will go on till the wee hours of the morning - or even longer! "It's going to be huge," gushes one insider. "The Shard is an unbeatable venue with unforgettable views, and Mel wants this day to be truly unforgettable."
But don't expect Mel to be footing the bill alone. Sources close to the couple claim that the entire bash could cost a staggering £28,000 just for food and drinks! Not to mention the additional costs of DJs, venue hire, and other essentials to keep the party going all night long.
And while we're on the topic of party planning, let's talk about the guest list. We can reveal today that neither Victoria Beckham nor Geri Halliwell will be attending Mel's big day - a move that's sure to raise eyebrows among fans. It's understood that Posh Spice (51) will be abroad at the time of the wedding, but sources close to the couple suggest that her absence is not just due to scheduling conflicts.
The real tea, as they say in showbiz circles, is that Mel and Geri have a long-standing feud dating back to 2019. During an explosive episode of Piers Morgan's Life Stories, Mel sensationally revealed that she had a secret romance with Geri when the Spice Girls were still at the height of their fame. The bombshell revelation left Geri "deeply upset" - and apparently, Mel has never apologized for her claims.
And if things weren't already complicated enough, sources close to Christian Horner (Geri's husband) claim that he was left feeling "mortified" by Mel's explosive revelation. No wonder then that neither Victoria nor Geri will be attending the wedding - a decision that has sparked rumors of a Spice Girls reunion being off the cards for good.
But don't worry, folks! Emma Bunton and Melanie Chisholm (aka Mel C) are still on the guest list, and we can expect some epic dance moves from these two as they take to the floor with their pal. As for Mel's special day itself? We're told she'll be walking down the aisle in a stunning white and gold dress complete with a Vegas-style feathered headdress - talk about making an entrance!
Mel's romance with Rory McPhee, 42, has been going strong since she split from her ex-husband Stephen Belafonte in 2016. But what do we know about this dashing Scotsman? Sources close to the couple claim that Mel and Rory met after the breakdown of her marriage - a chance encounter that would change her life forever.
The wedding planning process has been no less dramatic, with Mel jetting off on a sun-kissed hen do in Tunisia with 35 friends. We're talking about leopard-print bikinis, choreographed dance routines, and even a belly dancing class! Her daughter Phoenix was also in attendance, ensuring that this was one hen party to remember.
So as the big day approaches, we can't help but wonder - what will happen next? Will Mel's "party in the sky" be the stuff of legend? Or will there be more drama and intrigue on the horizon? Stay tuned for all the latest updates from The Scholarly Note...
