The Spice Girls singer is set to tie the knot with fiancé Rory McPhee, and she's opening up about her wedding plans.

Last year, Mel B was awarded an MBE — a Member of the Order of the British Empire — for services to charitable causes and vulnerable women. Because of this honor, she has an impressive list of wedding venues at her disposal, including one very famous location.
"Because I have an MBE I can get married at the same place Princess Diana married [King] Charles. I'm still waiting to hear back from St. Paul's Cathedral in London," she said. "We have put all our forms in and we are just waiting on them to give us the day."

Mel B — who's been married twice before — plans to go the traditional route for her third nuptials. "I'm gonna do it properly, by the book in church and all that malarkey," she told the radio hosts, whom she invited to her wedding.
It seems that one of Mel's Spice Girls bandmates might have an impact on the wedding too.
"Once I get the dates then I'll do wedding dress shopping, but I already know that Victoria [Beckham] wants to make me a dress," Mel said. "I'm probably going to have many different wedding dresses, so it's probably going to be a two-week wedding."

Mel B announced her engagement to hairstylist Rory McPhee in October 2022 after three years of dating.
"He said, 'I love you, you're my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,'" Mel said on Celebrity Gogglebox. "There were rose petals everywhere, a log fire, a hotel — which was Cliveden. It was very romantic. I love flowers."
This will be Mel's third marriage. She was wed to dancer Jimmy Gulzar from 1998 to 2000 and to film producer Stephen Belafonte from 2007 to 2017.

Lucky for Mel B, her Spice Girls bandmates love her beau.
"Emma [Bunton] cried, so did Mel C. All of them were delighted for us and said, 'We love Rory, he's amazing' and they've all sent congratulations cards," Mel B said on Celebrity Gogglebox following her engagement.
In fact, she said her pals had been pushing her toward Rory for a while. "I do care about their opinion and it's really special to me that they like Rory so much, because they've never liked any of my boyfriends and they've been quite clear about that," she added.
