Singer Melanie C, 52, married partner Chris Dingwall this weekend in a private countryside ceremony in Cumbria, surrounded by close family and friends.
The wedding marks a notable shift for the star, who spent years stating that marriage was not for her. She is now the final member of the Spice Girls to marry.
Three of her former bandmates attended the event: Geri Halliwell-Horner, Emma Bunton, and Mel B. Geri arrived with her husband, Christian Horner.
Victoria Beckham was unable to attend as she is in the United States with David Beckham for the FIFA World Cup Final weekend. She designed and gifted the bride a backless wedding gown.
The ceremony was intentionally understated, reflecting the bride’s wishes for a small, classy occasion. Her teenage daughter served as bridesmaid.
Guests described the event as perfect. A herd of cows reportedly approached during the vows, though no disruption occurred at the Georgian venue.
Melanie C met Chris Dingwall in 2024 through a celebrity dating app and went public with the relationship that year. She has described him as laid-back, fun, and a positive influence on her life.
The marriage follows a prolific period for the singer. She recently released her solo album Sweat, her highest-charting solo record, and received the Global Impact Award at a music charity event.
At the awards, she described herself as the happiest she has ever been. Friends note the wedding caps an extraordinary year both professionally and personally.
The Spice Girls are now all married. Melanie C previously spent over 20 years with property developer Thomas Starr, with whom she shares a daughter, before their 2021 split.
After decades of rejecting marriage, the singer has rewritten her own story. Love, she indicates, changed her mind.
