Spice Reunion: Mel B's Wedding Day with Estranged Sister Danielle

Spice Girl Mel B's Lavish Wedding: A Tale of Family Drama, Love, and a Hefty Price Tag

It was a day of celebration for Spice Girl Mel B as she tied the knot with her new husband Rory McPhee at the historic St Paul's Cathedral in London. The bride, 50, looked stunning in a pearl-adorned white gown, flashing a radiant smile as she exchanged vows with her groom, 37. But behind the scenes, there was more to this wedding than meets the eye.

The only other Spice Girl in attendance, Emma Bunton, led the celebrity guests in leaving the venue after watching Mel walk down the aisle for the third time. The absence of fellow Spices Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, and Melanie Chisholm was notable, but Emma's presence was a testament to her enduring friendship with Mel.

However, what really stole the show was Mel's sister Danielle Brown, who has been by her side through thick and thin. The 44-year-old actress, known for her role in Emmerdale, beamed with pride as she watched her older sister become the new Mrs McPhee.

But their relationship hasn't always been smooth sailing. In fact, the two sisters were estranged for a whopping 10 years due to a bitter row over Mel's ex-husband Stephen Belafonte. The family feud reached its peak in 2008 when Mel and her daughters were cut off from their mother, Andrea, and Danielle by Mel.

Andrea made no secret of her feelings about Belafonte, who became Mel's husband in 2007 after a secret Las Vegas wedding. She even revealed in an interview with The Scholarly Note that she only learned of the pregnancy and birth of Mel's second child Angel via Twitter! "I only found out she was pregnant because of Twitter and I found out on Twitter that she'd had the baby too," she said.

The family feud continued for years, with Danielle even issuing a desperate plea to Simon Cowell for information when Mel was hospitalized in 2014. The X Factor judge's spokesman later confirmed that Mel would be returning to the show after being discharged from hospital and following medical advice.

But it seems that life is full of second chances, as Mel and her family have reportedly made amends. In an interview on This Morning, Mel revealed that she had reconnected with her mother and sister in 2017, saying "I was in a 10-year marriage. Not the nicest marriage. I got very isolated from friends and family."

Danielle, who has spoken publicly about their tumultuous relationship, said: "A lot of the close friends and people who worked for you got pushed to the side. It was done gradually. We were the last ones to go. Me, my mum and dad."

The siblings have since become inseparable, enjoying holidays together and sharing sweet tributes on social media. Last month, Mel shared a birthday message to her sister, with Danielle responding: "Thanks big sis, love ya longtime!"

Today, as Mel exchanged vows with Rory in a traditional white wedding at the cathedral, it was clear that their family drama was far behind them. The newlyweds shared a sweet kiss for the gathered crowds as they left the historic venue after exchanging their vows.

But what really got our attention was the hefty price tag attached to this lavish celebration! The post-nuptial party is set to take place at The Shard later tonight, with an estimated cost of £28,000. And let's just say that Mel and Rory are pulling out all the stops for their special day.

We can't help but wonder: what secrets lie behind this high-society wedding? Stay tuned for more updates on this juicy tale of love, family drama, and luxury!

In related news, Danielle Brown has been keeping busy with her own projects. The actress, who also runs a podcast called Roots & Wings, Raising Teens, has been sharing snaps from the hen do she attended in Tunisia last month.

But we can't help but think that Mel's sister stole the show today, beaming with pride as she watched her big sis tie the knot for the third time. Who knows? Maybe this is just the beginning of a new chapter for these two loving sisters!
