First look at Melanie C’s Adidas-themed wedding outfit as she marries boyfriend of three years in incredible ceremony
MELANIE C has shared a first look at her wedding after tying the knot with her boyfriend of three years, Chris Dingwall.
The couple got married in a stunning ceremony in the grounds of The Country House Cumbria on Saturday and were joined by their loved ones, including her Spice Girls bandmates.
In new pictures, the pair are seen walking down the steps after getting married as they look like the epitome of happiness.
In one snap, Melanie beams from ear to ear as she and Chris hold hands.
Another photo shows the two looking into one another’s eyes as they pose in the grounds of their wedding venue.
Mel B, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton were all in attendance as Victoria Beckham was noticeably absent from the big day.
She was unable to attend as she was in the US with husband David for yesterday’s World Cup final.
Despite not being able to be there, she designed her pal’s beautiful backless, white wedding gown.
The chic gown, which oozed elegance and featured a swooping backline, was plucked straight from Posh’s collection of her own Victoria Beckham gowns in her wardrobe.
Melanie C wore a custom Adidas robe to get ready for the ceremony, made from ivory silk with white silk stripes.
The look was completed with custom white and gold sliders featuring the wedding date in gold on the side.
After the meal, Melanie C changed into another custom Adidas look — an elevated interpretation of a tracksuit, with high-waisted, wide-legged trousers and a cropped jacket featuring a peaked lapel and deep ribbed waistband.
This look was again made from ivory silk with white silk stripes, worn with custom Superstar trainers.
Insiders said Mel B and Geri, who have not seen eye to eye since Scary accused Baby of lying about her age in 2022, put on a cordial display.
A source told The Sun on Saturday: “Mel and Chris’ wedding was perfect, they couldn’t be happier.
“They chose a classy, laid-back ceremony before a reception with their closest friends and family.
“Mel B gave a speech which got a lot of laughs, as well as some tears — it was really beautiful.
“Geri was there but there was no awkwardness between her and Mel B.
“It was a day for celebrating Mel and Chris’s love for each other and that was all anyone wanted to do.”
Insiders said the reception at the venue, in Castle Carrock on the edge of the Pennines, went on until the early hours of yesterday.
Melanie C, 52, told British Vogue the wedding was “low-key, relaxed, romantic and chic”.
She added: “I’m so excited for the world to know he’s my husband.”
Melanie said of her wedding dress: “Victoria’s dress was my something borrowed. It was very special, having her there.
“Victoria wanted to make it much more personal to me.
“She found some gorgeous vintage lace, and everything was really delicately dyed to the perfect shade. It’s very flattering, open at the back.”
Melanie’s daughter Scarlett, 17, from her relationship with Thomas Starr, was bridesmaid at her special day.
Melanie is the last of the girls from the pop group to tie the knot, having met Australian model Chris back in 2023 on celeb dating app Raya.
Melanie and Chris have kept a lot of their romance under wraps with fans desperate to know about her relationship with the Aussie star.
She told The Times back in January: “It’s something I didn’t think would be part of my story [marriage], but I’m so happy with Chris”.
