Melanie Brown's magnificent wedding to celebrity hairdresser Rory McPhee, which took place in St Faith's Chapel in St. Paul's Cathedral on Saturday, was the most incredible star-studded ceremony, but there's an incredibly special reunion that you might've missed.

Though the entire group couldn't reunite for the ceremony, with Victoria Beckham, Mel C and Geri Halliwell-Horner unable to attend, another Spice Girls get-together flew under the radar amid the glitz and glam of the wedding.

Scary Spice's mother took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a beautiful photo from the ceremony, uniting the iconic group of Spice Mums: Joan Chisholm, Andrea Brown, and

Captioning the post, Andrea penned: "30yrs of friendship spice mums my partners in crime, miss u sooo much pauline [clinking glasses emoji] [heart emoji] Xx", hinting at Emma Bunton's mother, Pauline, who was unfortunately not able to attend the ceremony.

Before guests arrived, immense arrangements of white flowers were seen being put into position at the entrance, and staff completed the floral setup before the bridal party arrived, with passersby clamoring to catch a glimpse of the guests.

Famous guests included beloved comedian Tom Allen, Lisa Snowdon and model Cara Delevingne, though the guest list of close friends and family was kept mostly private.

The venue is easily one of the most prestigious and sought-after in the UK, and it famously hosted the much-publicised wedding between the then-Prince Charles and his first wife, Princess Diana, back in 1981.

Holding the wedding at a historical heritage site marked a grand turn for Mel B, who has mostly been known for her bold and incredibly modern persona.

Mel and Rory confirmed their engagement in 2022, with the Spice Girl revealing the news in an interview. The pair had reportedly been together for more than three years beforehand.
