In Cumbria, England, Spice Girls singer Melanie Chisholm, known as Mel C, married Australian model and screenwriter Chris Dingwall on Sunday, July 19, at the 19th-century Country House Cumbria in the Lake District. The small countryside ceremony was attended by bandmates Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown, and Geri Halliwell-Horner, who arrived with her husband, Christian Horner, in a rare public reunion of the 1990s pop group. Victoria Beckham did not attend because she is in the United States with David Beckham for 2026 FIFA World Cup matches, but she designed and gifted Chisholm’s custom white bridal gown. Chisholm’s 17-year-old daughter, Scarlett, served as bridesmaid.
