New bride Mel, 50, sealed her wedding to groom Rory McPhee with a kiss outside the architectural landmark.
The Wannabe singer stunned in a gown adorned with dazzling pearl detail around the collar and sleeves and a long flowing veil as she stepped out of the iconic venue.
Ahead of the ceremony, fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton led the star-studded arrivals in a pale pink frock and matching hat as she rocked up with husband Jade Jones and son Beau, 17.
Yet Mel C, who forged a solo career post-band with tracks including I Turn To You, has now revealed the reason for her no-show.

"Excited to celebrate with you really soon. Yipee!"
In her next slide, Mel showcased a snap of her performing in Stockholm, Sweden.
She added the words: "Bit of a soggy one last night."

It comes after it was revealed that 51-year-old Victoria Beckham wouldn't be attending the nuptials.
But making sure that Mel felt the love, she shared an Instagram tribute post ahead of her big day with Rory.

"@rorymcphee is a very lucky man! xx."
Victoria, as well as fellow bandmate Geri, were not present at the ceremony.
The MailOnline originally told how Victoria would be out of the country and therefore would not be present to watch Mel walk down the aisle.
A source said: "Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can't be there.

"She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It's a real shame.
"There is no issue between them, they haven't fallen out. It's just one of those things."
Meanwhile Geri is said to have been absent because of her tense relationship with Mel.
The two women had a pretty big falling out when Mel B revealed that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out.

Mel made the confession while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan's Life Stories in 2019.
Geri was stunned and upset by Mel's admission, and even more saddened when Mel allegedly did not issue an apology.

Wynne Evans takes swipe at BBC just weeks after it cut ties with him
Strictly Come Dancing star Wynne Evans parted ways with the BBC earlier this year and he's now taken a swipe at BBC Radio after having hosted a show on the station for years Former BBC Radio host Wynne Evans has taken a swipe at the radio station this week. It comes after he left his long-running show following a series of scandals whilst on Strictly Come Dancing last year and its subsequent live tour. It was announced back in May that Wynne, 53, would not be returning to his BBC Radio Wales show, which he had hosted since 2016. A spokesperson for the BBC said at the time that there were also "no plans" to work with him again. Wynne announced that he would instead host the Wynne Evans Show on other platforms. He then launched his new weekday radio show last month and later told fans that he had more than 40,000 listeners for the first episode. He has continued to promote the show in recent weeks and shared another message for fans on Instagram this evening. Wynne took aim at BBC Radio in a series of posts, in which he described the radio station as the "dark side". Alongside a cartoon of himself, the message for fans, who are referred to as 'Wynners,' read: "HELP!! We are looking for missing 'Wynners'!!! Did you previously listen to Wynne Evans on the dark side? (BBC Radio) are you missing his cheeky wit and charming charisma or do you just need cheering up in the morning? If so then tune into his new show available on iPhone, Android, Alexa and his website." Wynne shared the photo of his page. He wrote in the caption that accompanied it: "Let's find the missing Wynners - where are our friends that may be stuck on the dark side spread the word far and wide" He later shared a similar post on his Instagram Story. Wynne wrote in that caption: "Missing Wynners. Don't get stuck in the dark come and laugh and be in a place where the listeners are valued." The criticism comes after just weeks after it was reported that the BBC had cut its last remaining ties with him. It was confirmed last month that it has "no plans" for a second series of his travel show Wynne & Joanna: All at Sea. All at Sea, which launched on BBC One in January, saw Wynne sail along the southern coast of Wales with Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page, 48. The first series ended in February and a spokesperson for the BBC told the Mirror last month that there are "no plans" for a second series. A source told the Sun at the time that the decision to not renew the show "marks the end" of a relationship between Wynne and the BBC. They said: "It means that Wynne has no TV show or radio show with the Beeb, and effectively marks the end of their relationship." Wynne competed on Strictly last year and was partnered with professional dancer Katya Jones, 36, for the BBC show. The pair ended up apologising during the series for what he described as them "messing around," including over a scene of him with his hand on Katya's waist. It was later reported, whilst on the tour earlier this year, that he had apologised for using "inappropriate and unacceptable" language amid reports that he used the term 'spit roast' to Janette Manrara, 41, at a photocall. Wynne has since insisted that it was instead part of a nickname for their co-star Jamie Borthwick, 31, and "wasn't meant sexually". Wynne subsequently left the tour and his radio show after the scandal broke in January. As reported at the time, he said in a statement then: "I've agreed with the BBC that I'll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing. "I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. Apologies to those I won't get to see at the remaining performances and I'm grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support they have given me." Then in May he announced that he wouldn't be returning to his BBC Radio show following his departure months prior. He said in a statement: "From the very depths of my heart - thank you. These past few months, your love has been the light in my darkest days. Every message, every word of encouragement, every moment you stood by me has carried me through more than you could ever know." Wynne told fans: "It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract so I won't be returning to my radio show. I'm gutted. That show wasn't just work - it was home. It was us. We laughed, we cried, we sang like nobody was listening. And somehow, through the airwaves, we became a family. Thank you for welcoming me into your homes. Into your hearts." In a statement at the time, the BBC said: "[Wynne] is not under contract with the BBC." The spokesperson continued: "He is not returning to the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales and there are currently no plans to work with him."

Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron leaves rock band after 27 years
Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron announced that he has officially left the band after '27 fantastic years'. The 62-year-old has been a seminal member of the group – alongside bandmates Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready and Jeff Ament – for nearly three decades, having joined the fold in 1998. Taking to Instagram, the rocker confirmed his departure in a lengthy statement earlier today. 'After 27 fantastic years, I have taken my final steps down the drum riser for the mighty Pearl Jam,' he began. 'Much love and respect to Jeff, Ed, Mike and Stone for inviting me into the band in 1998 and for giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, filled with friendships, artistry, challenges and laughter. 'I am forever grateful to the crew, staff and fans the world over. It's been an incredible journey. More to follow. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.' His bandmates added in a separate message: 'From being one of our first musical heroes in the bands Skinyard and the mighty Soundgarden, to playing on our first demos in 1990, Matt Cameron has been a singular and true powerhouse of a musician and drummer. 'He has propelled the last 27 years of Pearl Jam live shows and studio recordings. It was a deeply important chapter for our group and we wish him well always. He will be deeply missed and is forever our friend in art and music. 'We love you Matt.' Fans were left emotional over the musician's announcement and flooded his comments section with heartfelt messages, sharing how much he would be missed in future. Joe Lucero commented: 'Congratulations! Being the drummer for one of the greatest bands of all time is impressive enough, but 2 of the greatest bands of all time? Hats off to you, sir and thank you!' Nick McIlwain said: 'Whatever you do next, and for whatever reasons are important to know, please know how much collective joy and happiness you gave to us, the fans.' 'I hope everything is well with you. Thank you for 27 years it's been a blast seeing you behind the kit xx,' Shesalightningbolt agreed. As Scott Suffron added: 'I cannot accurately convey my sincere gratitude for all the years you were the heartbeat of my favourite band. 'You are an exceptional drummer, my favourite of all time and I have literally thousands of memories jamming out to your insane performances… Again, thank you for all the years of helping PJ go@their own way. 'Good luck with your next chapter, whatever you choose to do Matt [sic].' Eddie, Stone, Mike, Jeff and Dave Krusen founded Pearl Jam in 1990, with the group going on to become one of the biggest acts in music history. They have dropped hits including Black, Alive, Even Flow and Last Kiss in that time. Matt previously served as the drummer for Soundgarden from 1986 until the band went their separate ways in 1997, and made the move over to Pearl Jam shortly after – following Jack Irons' exit. 'The guys made me feel real welcome and it wasn't a struggle to get it musically, but my style was a little bit different, I think, than what they were used to,' he said in an interview in 2003. More Trending 'They've been through so many different drummers, I don't even know if they knew what they wanted. So, I just played the way I played and then eventually we figured out what worked best for the band. 'So, I definitely changed my stuff up and I think we're playing really tight now.' Over the 27-year period, he was part of some of their biggest albums – including 2000's Binaural and Riot Act, Backspacer and Lightning Bolt. His last offering with the group came in Dark Matter last year. Got a story?
