Melanie Chisholm officially wed her Australian partner Chris Dingwall several weeks before the couple held their scenic countryside celebration in England over the weekend.
According to Vogue magazine, the pair exchanged vows privately in Sydney before gathering with loved ones in England’s Lake District.
The detail had not previously been made public, but was revealed when the fashion publication offered a closer look at their wedding and confirmed that the English ceremony was symbolic rather than legally binding.
The singer reportedly included the word “Sydney” and the date of their original ceremony in blue embroidery inside her custom Victoria Beckham bridal gown, serving as her “something blue”.
Beckham, who created the sophisticated backless dress, revealed that she only learned about Chisholm’s plans a few days before the singer flew to Australia.
“I was actually having dinner with Melanie and asked her what she was up to,” Beckham shared with Vogue.
“She very casually told me she was leaving for Australia in two days and getting married!”
Beckham could not join the festivities in England because she was accompanying her husband, David Beckham, in the United States for World Cup duties. However, she still contributed to her friend’s special occasion by presenting her with the one of a kind wedding gown.
Mel C’s fellow Spice Girls Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell-Horner attended the English ceremony.

Ryan Adams has called off his forthcoming European tour, with promoters confirming the cancellation only days after the singer revealed that he is “broke” and facing personal difficulties away from the spotlight.
A message released by the tour promoter reassured fans that the 51 year old artist is “doing OK” and has shifted his attention toward completing a trilogy of albums.
“Due to circumstances beyond our control, the upcoming Ryan Adams European Tour has been cancelled. We apologize to all those who bought tickets and were excited for these shows. Refunds will be processed automatically… Ryan is doing ok and working hard to finish the new album trilogy. New music on the way,” the statement read.
Ryan shared the announcement on his own account and provided a brief update, writing: “Tough times. Been sick. Fall tour cancelled.”
The cancellation comes shortly after the Gold singer disclosed that he has been selling a large collection of music equipment to cover his expenses and continue financing his records. In an honest note to followers, the controversial musician described himself as “broke and sick and tired and defeated,” saying that selling his valuable gear was necessary to support himself and keep creating music.
He wrote: “I appreciate anybody who can give these treasured things a new life.
“I’m proud that I did this. That I remain transparent. This business is vile and full of snakes. But I’m proud to call it and man up to this. I’ll keep making records as long as I can afford to.”
He finished the message by sharing that he intended to spend some time sitting in the sunshine with his cats while allowing himself to cry.
He said: “I’m not sure how many more times I can hit this wall. When is it enough?”
In 2019, Ryan became the focus of an exposé published by the New York Times, in which several women accused him of controlling and emotionally abusive behaviour.
Ryan eventually made a public apology, although he did not directly address any of the women who had spoken out.
He said: “In my effort to be a better man, I have fought to get sober, but this time I’m doing it with professional help. Sobriety is a priority in my life, and so is my mental health. These, as I’m learning, go hand in hand. There are no words to express how bad I feel about the ways I’ve mistreated people throughout my life and career. All I can say is that I’m sorry. It’s that simple. This period of isolation and reflection made me see that I needed to make significant changes in my life.”
Following the controversy, he publicly asked record companies to offer him another opportunity, revealing that he was only “months” away from potentially losing his home, recording studio and independent label.
