- Mel B and Rory McPhee have held a surprise “second wedding” in Marrakech following their London wedding on July 5.
- Mel B rocked a stunning sheer strapless gown that was dripping in red jewels for the occasion.
- “A wedding so good we keep the celebration going with our closest and dearest in our fav place,” she wrote on Instagram.
Well, it looks like 2 became 1… again. In the wise words of the Spice Girls themselves “too much of something is bad enough”—but clearly, two weddings is just the right amount for Mel B, aka Scary Spice. The singer tied the knot with hairstylist Rory McPhee on July 5 in a ceremony in London. Now, one month later, it would appear the pair have decided to walk down the aisle one more time.
Mel B shared a photo of their follow-up ceremony in Marrakech on Instagram. In the photo, the happy couple were pictured grooving at the end of what appeared to be a white carpeted aisle. Mel swapped the traditional white wedding dress for something a little more fun, opting for a sheer tulle gown by Justine Alexander covered in red sparkling jewels. As the designer noted in an Instagram comment, she picked “sultry red crystals for a little bit of spice.” The dramatic dress featured a plunging neckline and an impressive train that stretched out behind her. She also wore matching red accessories in her hair and a pair of red strappy heels.

McPhee also switched up his look, opting for a white jacket paired with black pants and a black bow tie.
“We got married!!! Again! A wedding so good we keep the celebration going with our closest and dearest in our fav place at @selmanmarrakech ❤️❤️❤️ we had the time of our lives!!” Mel wrote in the caption.

This surprise second ceremony follows what appeared to be a more traditional wedding ceremony in London on July 5. For the first ceremony, Mel opted for a white Josephine Scott mermaid gown with pearl detailing before changing into another wedding dress by designer Justin Alexander, per People. “She’s iconic, powerful, and radiant, and this dress had to be worthy of that,” Scott told The Sun of the first dress. “Every detail was chosen to honour her strength and sensuality, while celebrating the woman and the love story beneath the girl power.”

Prior to her wedding, Mel had hinted that she would never settle for just one wedding dress. “I don’t think it would be fair to just have one,” she told Today hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager in January. “Just have as many as you want—at least three, right? I’m going to really go for it. One to actually get married in, which is the proper ceremony—very proper at this church, St. Paul’s [Cathedral]. And then maybe I want to change out of that and be a bit more less… You know, I actually don’t know!” Well, now that we’ve seen three gowns, it seems that she was true to her word!
Mel B later shared a video of the ceremony, writing, “THE best day of our life ❤️❤️❤️.”
