Spice Girl Mel B indulged in a lavish destination wedding with husband Rory McPhee just weeks after their London nuptials as her child Angel gave her a ‘beautiful’ surprise
Mel B was given a “special” surprise by her child Angel for her second wedding to Rory McPhee. The Spice girls star was thrilled to have her three children present at her second wedding day in Marrakesh at the luxury boutique hotel Salmen.
Mel shares Phoenix, 26, with dancer Jimmy Gulzar, Angel, 18, with Hollywood star Eddie Murphy, and Madison, 13, with Stephen Belafonte. Each of the children played a part in the big day, with Phoenix walking her down the aisle, Angel performing groomsman tasks for Rory, and Madison acting as a bridesmaid.
Speaking to Hello about how important it was for her Mel shared, “That meant the world to me. It was the most amazing day and was so full of love. It exceeded all our expectations.” She then explained more about Angel and how he surprised her.

The morning of her wedding saw Mel preparing for her “spiritual” ceremony with her bridesmaids, which she planned for one month after her lavish London ceremony at St Paul’s Cathedral. Mel B, her sister Danielle and her niece Mimi among others in the bridal party had their hands and feet inked with henna as as symbol of health and happiness.
The women then got wedding-ready changing into red satin bridesmaid dresses from New Look. Angel meanwhile was preparing with Rory and the groomsmen, including Rory’s father, John, and brother, Jordan.
Angel wore a traditional smart black suit for the event, adding a white shirt, bow tie and chunky platform shoes. Mel confessed the look was quite the surprise and she only saw her son’s outfit for the first time as she walked down the aisle.
She explained, “I knew that Angel was getting ready with Rory and his groomsmen, so it was really quite beautiful, because I didn’t even know what he was wearing until I walked down the aisle.”
Mel was so overwhelmed by the beautiful moment with her family surrounding her that she took a wrong turn when walking down the aisle with Phoenix, who was dressed in a gold sequin dress with spaghetti straps to give her mum away.
Mel made her entrance wearing a wedding dress from Justin Alexander, and walked down the aisle to the soundtrack of Alicia Keys’ hit No One as the sun set around her, creating a stunning glow around the hotel grounds.
Seeing the funny side to the mishap Mel said, “We get things wrong all the time, and in true Brown tradition, we walked down the wrong side of the aisle instead of in the middle.
“Even though Rory and I had overseen every detail of the wedding, I hadn’t seen the aisle until I walked down there, and it looked so beautiful that I burst into tears.
“Phoenix was saying, ‘Are you OK? What do I do?’ And I said, ‘Phoenix, just hold my hand.’ She said: ‘Right, OK; you’ve got this, Mum.'”
