Melanie C and Chris Dingwall's Romantic Nuptials
Melanie C, 52, exchanged vows with Chris Dingwall, reportedly in his late 40s, in what has been described as a low-key yet elegant celebration. The bride looked stunning in a full-length white, backless gown from her fellow Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham's eponymous label. Her 17-year-old daughter, Scarlett, from her previous relationship with Thomas Starr, proudly served as a bridesmaid for her mother's special day.

Dingwall, an Australian model, actor, and screenwriter from Sydney, has largely maintained a private profile despite his high-profile romance.
