Melanie “Mel B” Brown and her husband Rory McPhee are now officially married again. The former Spice Girl and her hairstylist husband hosted a second wedding celebration in Morocco, just one month after they first tied the knot in London.
On July 5, the couple said their vows for the first time. But they chose to celebrate again this time with close friends and family at the beautiful Selman Marrakech hotel.
Mel B shared a joyful photo from the event on Instagram and wrote:
“We got married!!! Again! A wedding so good we keep the celebration going with our closest and dearest in our fav place at Selman Marrakech. We had the time of our lives!!”

Their First Wedding in London
The couple’s first wedding ceremony took place at The Crypt of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. It was followed by a grand reception at the Shangri-La Hotel, located inside The Shard.
Several celebrities attended the London wedding, including:
-
Emma Bunton (Baby Spice)
-
Model Cara Delevingne
-
Comedian Katherine Ryan
-
Model Daisy Lowe
Although Mel C, Victoria Beckham, and Geri Halliwell couldn’t attend the London celebration, Victoria and Geri sent flowers to share their best wishes, according to Hello! Magazine.
Mel C did attend the second wedding in Morocco and commented under their post:
“What a weekend! So happy we got to share it with you.”
A Blend of Cultures in Their First Wedding
For the first wedding, Rory wore a traditional Scottish kilt in McPhee tartan to honor his roots. Mel B chose a classic ivory dress by Josephine Scott. Her dress featured a strapless corset, a pearl-embellished sheer jacket, and a cathedral-length veil.
Caroline Black, the owner of Evelie Bridal Boutique in London, helped Mel B find the perfect dress. Speaking to People magazine, Black said, “Mel was a dream to work with, bringing her own sense of style to the occasion.”
Their Love Story
Mel B and Rory McPhee began dating in 2019 and got engaged in 2022 during a romantic getaway in Berkshire.
Mel B shared on Celebrity Gogglebox how Rory proposed:
“He said, ‘I love you, you’re my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.’”
The moment included rose petals, a log fire, and a cozy hotel setting.
From ‘Never Again’ to ‘Yes, Again’
Mel B had once declared that she would never marry again after going through two divorces.
Speaking to People, she said: “I was like, ‘I’m never going to get married again. Never, never, never. I’m never having a relationship. I’m fine by myself. I want to raise my kids, put my head down and work, and that’s it. And then… never can say never, can you?”
