Geri Halliwell Ties The Knot, Honeymoons In Cannes
Geri Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice, who was once known for multi-colored hair and micro-mini dresses in her years as a Spice Girl, opted for traditional lace as she walked down the aisle last week at her English wedding, tying the knot with Formula 1’s Christian Horner.
Geri Halliwell donned a classic white lace gown complete with long lacy sleeves, a full skirt, and flowing veil. The gown and veil were both Phillipa Lepley couture, according to a report in Us Weekly.
Though Geri Halliwell’s wedding was a star-studded event, with the likes of Amanda Holden, Jennifer Saunders, Emma Bunton, and fiance Jade Jones in attendance, the bigger story may have been who was missing from the celebration.
Fellow Spice Girls Mel B (Brown), Mel C (Chisholm), and Victoria Beckham were all notably absent, though Beckham offered well-wishes via Twitter.
On Christian Horner’s side of the aisle, former Formula 1 driver Sir Jackie Stewart and Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo were present, along with Horner’s brothers Jamie and Guy. Horner’s parents skipped the ceremony in protest, as they were upset at Horner’s decision to call his 14-year relationship with Beverly Allen quits in favor of Halliwell, according to the Winnipeg Free Press.
Despite the absence of Horner’s parents the wedding went off without a hitch, with the newlyweds speeding off to their honeymoon in a vintage Rolls Royce.
The couple was soon spotted in Cannes, far away from the film crowd, strolling through the streets of the French Riviera town and enjoying carb-laden meals.
From Cannes, Halliwell and Horner popped over to Monaco to take care of some Formula 1 business and see the sights.
Halliwell seems to have embraced married life with Horner. Not only has she chronicled the joy of their post-wedding travels via social media, she has also adopted his last name. Just recently, her profile names on Twitter and Instagram changed from Geri Halliwell to Geri Horner.
