Mel C, known as Sporty Spice, is reportedly set to marry her Australian model partner Chris Dingwall this weekend in a "low-key" ceremony in the Lake District. The wedding is expected to reunite most of the Spice Girls, with former bandmates said to be attending in support of Mel C's big day, marking another milestone in the group's enduring friendship since their 1990s heyday.

Notably absent from the guest list is Victoria Beckham, whose non-attendance has drawn attention given the group's history of high-profile reunions and public appearances together. The setting has been described as a beautiful countryside location, in keeping with reports that the couple wanted an intimate, private affair away from media glare rather than a lavish celebrity wedding.
