'I told her to change the date!' Mel B explains why Emma Bunton was the only Spice Girl to attend Geri Halliwell's wedding
Mel B has claimed she was unable to attend Geri Halliwell's wedding because her former bandmate did not give her enough notice.
The 40-year-old said she had to miss the nuptials because of 'prior commitments' and that other Spice Girls Victoria Beckham and Mel C were also unable to get out of plans to attend.
Emma Bunton was the only other member of the group present when Geri married Formula 1 boss Christian Horner in Woburn, Bedfordshire, in May.

In an interview with toofab.com, The X Factor judge said: 'Unfortunately I couldn't be there at the wedding and neither could Victoria or Mel C because we all had prior commitments.
'Even thought they've been together quite a while, it was like, "Oh I'm getting married in a few weeks,'" she continued.
'I was like "No change the date!". She looked gorgeous on her wedding day and I'll get to hear all the gossip when I fly over there in a few hours.'

Last month it was claimed the mother-of-three told Geri she would not be able to attend at the last minute despite rumours her three-year-old daughter, Madison, was to be a bridesmaid.
A source at the time told The Sun: 'Mel called Geri with hardly any notice to say she couldn't make it.
'Geri was annoyed but just rolled her eyes and blamed it on "typical Mel". All events she's involved in end up full of drama'.

On the day of the wedding Mel posted her well wishes to her former bandmate online.
'@GeriHalliwell wishing you the most beautiful special day of your life,I love you xxxx,' she wrote on Twitter.
Victoria Beckham was in Singapore at the time for the city's fashion week while Mel C was also understood to have been out of the country.
