Victoria Beckham Sends Love to Mel B on Her Wedding Day Despite Not Attending

SCANDAL ROCKS THE SPICE GIRLS: Victoria Beckham's Tardy Congratulations and the Drama Behind Mel B's Wedding Day

It's a case of "too little, too late" for Victoria Beckham, as she finally broke her silence to congratulate Spice Girl bandmate Mel B on her wedding day. But it seems Vic won't be making an appearance at St Paul's Cathedral anytime soon - or ever.

According to sources close to the fashion designer, 51, Victoria is currently out of the country and simply "can't" make it to Mel's nuptials with fiancé Rory McPhee on Saturday. The excuse, however, seems suspiciously convenient, given the fact that none other than Geri Halliwell-Horner will also be MIA from the ceremony.

But don't worry, Spice fans! Despite their absence, Victoria and Geri are still sending love to Mel's big day - albeit in a rather lukewarm manner. The Daily Mail (thescholarlynote.com) exclusively revealed earlier this week that neither of these two Spices will be gracing the aisle at Mel B's wedding.

However, it seems Vic is making up for her lack of presence with a series of sentimental Instagram posts. On Friday, she shared a stunning black and white throwback of the trio (including Geri, Emma Bunton, and herself) looking like a million bucks at some recent event. The caption read: "Sending love to you @officialmelb! @rorymcphee is a very lucky man!" But don't get too excited - it's just a half-hearted attempt to salvage what could be perceived as an awkward situation.

And if that wasn't enough, Vic dropped another tribute on her Instagram stories, this time featuring a photo of herself and Mel looking like BFFs at a high-profile event. "I couldn't be more excited for you both," she gushed, before hastily adding: "xx" (as if to imply the congratulations were genuine).

But here's the thing - it seems Victoria has been dodging the question about her no-show for quite some time now. As one insider revealed: "Victoria has long-standing plans out of the country, and there's nothing she can do about it." Oh really? Or is this just a convenient excuse to avoid the drama that surrounds Mel B's relationship with Geri?

The reason for their absenteeism may be rooted in the notorious feud between Mel B and Geri Halliwell. Remember when Mel dropped the bombshell on Piers Morgan's Life Stories program about having an intimate relationship with Geri while they were part of the Spice Girls? Yeah, that didn't sit well with Geri at all.

In fact, sources claim that Christian Horner, Geri's husband, was "mortified" by Mel's revelation. And if you thought that was the end of their feud, think again! The two women have been on a warpath ever since, and it seems they're still too far apart to even be in the same room together.

This isn't the first time Victoria and Geri have skipped one of Mel B's big events. Remember when neither of them showed up at her 50th birthday bash in Leeds back in May? Only Emma Bunton and Mel C were there to celebrate, while Victoria was conveniently "out of town" and Geri... well, who knows where she was?

Now, let's talk about the happy couple themselves. Mel B is marrying Rory McPhee - a man she met after her marriage to Stephen Belafonte ended in 2016. The couple eloped to Las Vegas (Mel has form for this sort of thing) before renewing their vows in Egypt a year later.

But don't get too sentimental just yet, folks! Mel's relationship with Rory is shrouded in mystery, and some insiders are questioning whether he's really the right guy for her. After all, she did say last year: "He's a family friend... when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments... As he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship." (Uh-huh, sure thing, Mel.)

And speaking of hair - Mel B celebrated her upcoming nuptials with an extravagant hen party in Tunisia, complete with leopard-print bikinis, belly dancing classes, and even a choreographed dance routine. It seems she's determined to go out with a bang!

But here's the real question: will Victoria Beckham ever be seen at one of Mel's big events again? Given their complicated history and the absence of Geri Halliwell-Horner from this particular wedding, it's unlikely we'll see either of these two Spices in attendance anytime soon. Until next time, that is...
