Former Spice Girl Mel B has continued her wedding festivities with a second ceremony, this time set against the sun-drenched backdrop of Marrakech, Morocco. The singer, famously known as Scary Spice, exchanged vows once more with her now-husband, hairstylist Rory McPhee, in a glamorous event hosted at the luxurious Selman Marrakech hotel. While the celebration welcomed a crowd of close friends and family, fans quickly noted the limited presence of her fellow Spice Girls.

According to HELLO!, Melanie C was the only bandmate in attendance. Having been unable to make it to Mel B’s first ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral in London, Sporty Spice made the journey to North Africa to witness the Moroccan leg of the celebration.
Mel B stunned in a bespoke strapless gown embellished with red pearls and featuring a thigh-high split — a collaborative design by Evelie Bridal and Justin Alexander. She completed the look with strappy heels, while Rory opted for a classic white tuxedo jacket paired with a black bow tie.
Sharing the joyful news on social media, Mel wrote:
“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!!”
Although the couple officially tied the knot on 5 July, their Moroccan celebration spanned three days — from 1 to 3 August. Friday began with an intimate dinner, followed by a spiritual outdoor ceremony on Saturday, culminating in an evening of dinner and dancing. The festivities concluded with a Sunday brunch where guests raised a final toast to the happy couple.
Notably absent from the Moroccan gathering were fellow Spice Girls Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham, and Geri Halliwell-Horner. While Emma had attended the London ceremony, she did not make it to Morocco. Victoria, meanwhile, missed both events but conveyed her best wishes to Mel.

Geri has remained silent regarding her absence but reportedly expressed her support in private. Sources close to the bride revealed that both Victoria and Geri sent thoughtful wedding gifts. Victoria, now a fashion designer, is said to have sent a dress for Mel B’s daughter Phoenix, 26, along with a floral arrangement. Geri, meanwhile, also chose to send flowers as a gesture of goodwill.
Though not all the Spice Girls were present, the Moroccan celebration was nonetheless filled with love, luxury, and lasting memories — a true reflection of Mel B’s bold and vibrant spirit.
