Looking radiant from behind her veil and in a beautiful, classic lace gown, Geri Halliwell is quite the traditional blushing bride.
But underneath, all she wants, all she really really wants is to spice things up and belt out her favourite hit to new husband Christian Horner.
And at the reception that is just what Geri did – grabbing the mic to sing Wannabe as a joke for her delighted husband and guests.
A source said: “Before they went on their first date, Christian googled Geri – and found a video of her doing the song.
“Geri found it hilarious that he had to research her beforehand and the song has become a running joke.”
Geri and Christian, 41, boss of the Red Bull Formula One team, married in Woburn, Beds.
Fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton’s sons Beau, seven, and Tate, four, were page boys while Geri’s daughter Bluebell, nine, was a bridesmaid. Geri’s sister Natalie was maid of honour.
Talking about their special day, Geri, 42, said: “We are thrilled, it has been an amazing day, filled with so much love, joy and laughter.
“And the sun shone through. It’s been such a day of happiness and one that we will always remember.
We feel truly grateful. It has been everything we hoped it would be and more – perfect.”
The pair exchanged vows in front of celebrity pals including Amanda Holden, Myleene Klass, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, former F1 driver Jackie Stewart, Aussie Red Bull driver Daniel Ricciardo and F1 boss Eddie Jordan. Race ace David Coulthard served as an usher, wearing a kilt.
Geri walked down the aisle to the Prince of Denmark’s March. While she and Christian signed the register, a choir sang Amazing Grace, Oh Happy Day and Higher and Higher. Hymns included All Things Bright and Beautiful and Lord of the Dance. The party then moved to a marquee in the grounds of Woburn Abbey, where music came from the Four Tops.
Christian and Geri met through F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone and got engaged in November. It came after a string of failed relationships.
In 2002, she got engaged to businessman Damien Werner but called it off. In 2005, she had a six-week fling with screenwriter Sacha Gervasi, Bluebell’s father. In 2008, she got engaged again, to shipping tycoon Fabrizio Politi, but got cold feet.
But now, at last, Geri has found true love with Christian. Altogether now... zigazig ahhhh.
