Mel B’s dog, Cookie, delivered the wedding rings on a collar around her neck, according to Hello!
The outlet also reported that the newlyweds travelled across the capital in a horse-drawn carriage to their evening reception. Meanwhile, guests travelled via London buses decorated with fairy lights while being serenaded with the Spice Girls hit “Wannabe.”
McPhee proposed to Mel B in 2022 while they were on a getaway in Berkshire, after the pair had been dating for three years.
“He said, ‘I love you, you’re my best friend and I want to spend the rest of my life with you,’ ” Mel B recalled while discussing her engagement on Celebrity Gogglebox in October 2022. “There were rose petals everywhere, a log fire, a hotel — which was Cliveden. It was very romantic. I love flowers.”

In the past, Mel B swore to herself that she’d never wed again after her two divorces. She was previously married to Jimmy Gulzar and Stephen Belafonte. The pop star changed her tune after falling in love with McPhee.
“I was like, ‘I’m never going to get married again. Never, never, never. I’m never having a relationship. I’m fine by myself. I want to raise my kids, put my head down and work, and that’s it. And then… never can say never, can you?” Mel B — who shares daughter Phoenix, 26, with Gulzar, daughter Madison, 13, with Belafonte, and daughter Angel, 18, with ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy — told PEOPLE in March 2024.
She continued: “I believe in love, and clearly the other two marriages turned out to be not love, from their angle. So I feel like I’ve really missed out, and now I’ve got this opportunity to be properly in love with a really good guy who I know loves me for me, who’s known me before I was a Spice Girl, why wouldn’t I do that?”
