The former Spice Girl and her hairdresser groom give HELLO! readers the inside story on their dreamy romantic wedding at St Paul’s Cathedral in London

The wedding took place in St Faith’s Chapel in the crypt of St Paul’s, spiritual home of the Order of the British Empire, of which Melanie is a member

Sharing loving smiles as they stand together as husband and wife, Spice Girl Mel B and her new husband Rory McPhee savour their first few moments as a married couple.

Standing on the steps of historic St Paul’s Cathedral just moments after they tied the knot in a dreamily romantic and traditional ceremony, the newlyweds could not have looked more in love.

After exchanging vows in front of their closest family and friends, the couple have now exclusively shared their beautiful wedding album with HELLO! – and as these images show, the big day went off without a hitch.

Excitement began to build hours before the ceremony, which took place last Saturday.

As a calm Melanie got ready with the help of her glam team, hundreds of fans gathered outside St Paul’s, ready to catch a glimpse of the beautiful bride, who abandoned her trademark leopard print for a sophisticated white strapless gown with pearl-encrusted sleeves.

Hairdresser Rory, meanwhile, referenced his Scottish heritage by wearing a kilt in McPhee tartan, and guests were welcomed into the venue to the sound of bagpipes.
