Mel B plans for £28,000 wedding reception revealed as she pulls out all the stops

Mel B is pulling out all the stops for her wedding with fiancé Rory McPhee, with the two exchanging vows at St Paul's Cathedral this weekend after their three-year engagement. Mel, 50, and family friend Rory, 37, have known each other for years, and he has worked as her hairstylist.

It's thought that they have been dating since 2018 and he then proposed to the Spice Girls singer, who has been married twice before, back in 2022. The couple are set to get married at St Paul's Cathedral on Saturday, with it rumoured that most of her bandmates from the Spice Girls won't be in attendance.

It has been said Scary Spice and her new husband will enjoy a meal, drinks and dancing after their nuptials at the Shangri-La at The Shard in London. An insider said the wedding will be "huge" and the "most memorable event".

Speaking to MailOnline, the source added: "The Shard says that brides and grooms can 'celebrate their special day in the clouds with enchanting London views, your special day will be as breathtaking as your love story' and that is exactly what Mel wants."

The Shangri-La charges approximately £280 per person, which could cost Mel £28,000 just for the food and a number of drinks. The publication claimed the singer will bus her guests from St Paul's Cathedral to the Shard, which is roughly a 35 minute drive.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Victoria Beckham and Geri Halliwell will not be attending the wedding. There's also said to be speculation ahead of the wedding that either Emma Bunton or Melanie Chisholm may skip the occasion too.

A source told the Daily Mail: "Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there."

They said that the fashion designer "adores" Mel and there's "no issue" between them, adding: "It's just one of those things."

It comes after neither Victoria nor Geri, who is said to have had a "rocky" relationship with Mel, attended her 50th birthday celebration in Leeds earlier this year. Only Emma and Mel C are said to have been at the party in May.

Amid the rumours about her wedding though, a source told the Mirror thatthere is "no snub" over the upcoming nuptials. They said that the group are "all on friendly terms," adding that Geri and Victoria are both just "busy".

The source said: "There's no snub, the girls are all on friendly terms with one another, but it's no secret that Geri is busy with Christian at Formula One and Victoria is extremely busy with her fashion brand."

The Mirror have reached out to Mel B's reps for comment.
