Mel B Unveiled: Exclusive Reason for St. Paul's Cathedral Wedding

Mel B made her way down the aisle for a third time last weekend as she tied the knot with celebrity hairdresser Rory McPhee at the historic St. Paul's Cathedral

SCANDALOUS SPICE GIRL!

Mel B, the sassy and scandalous Spice Girl, has finally said "I do" for the third time - but this time it's not just any wedding, folks! The pop icon tied the knot with celebrity hairdresser Rory McPhee in a lavish ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral, one of London's most iconic landmarks.

But what makes this union so special is that Mel B has finally found love again after two failed marriages to Jimmy Gulzar and Stephen Belafonte. And judging by her beaming smile as she walked down the aisle with Rory, it seems like she's found her perfect match!

Mel chose one of the most iconic and exclusive London landmarks, where very few are permitted to tie the knot at, for her third wedding as it is only available for those with an MBE

The ceremony was attended by Emma Bunton, the only other Spice Girl in attendance (Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, and Melanie Chisholm were MIA). But don't worry, Mel's sister Danielle Brown and other celebrity pals like Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan, and Gaby Roslin were there to celebrate with her.

And let's talk about the fashion - Mel B stunned in a gorgeous Josephine Scott pearl-adorned white gown, complete with a flowing veil. Rory, on the other hand, opted for traditional Scottish attire, donning a dashing red and green tartan kilt.

But what really caught our attention was the exclusive location of the ceremony. St. Paul's Cathedral is only available to those who have received an MBE (Member of the British Empire), which Mel B earned in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women. Talk about a prestigious honor!

Mel made the list thanks to her MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women and was awarded the honour by Prince William

After exchanging vows, the newlyweds stepped out of the cathedral, flashing their radiant smiles as they shared a sweet kiss with their friends and family. And let's not forget the champagne-filled party bus that took guests to the lavish Shangri-La hotel at The Shard for an epic reception.

But here's the juiciest part - Mel B and Rory are planning a second wedding celebration in Morocco, which promises to be "informal and sexy." We can't wait to see what kind of scandalous shenanigans go down at that one!

In the meantime, we're left wondering how Stephen Belafonte felt about his ex-wife's third marriage. After all, he was the one who got married to Mel B in 2007, only to have their divorce finalized in 2017.

St. Paul's Cathedral is also where King Charles married with his first wife Princess Diana in 1981

And what about Mel's children - Phoenix, Angel, and Madison? We can't help but wonder if they're thrilled about their mom's new union or still reeling from her past marital drama.

One thing is for sure - this Spice Girl has got the whole world talking with her latest nuptials!

Mel's MBE also grants her permission to baptise her three children Phoenix, 26, Angel, 18, and Madison, 13, in the church, accessed via the side of St. Paul's
