Scary Spice weds in little village church

LITTLE MARLOW, England (AP) -- In a little church filled with guests all dressed in white, Spice Girl Mel B, or Scary Spice, married dancer Jimmy Gulzar on Sunday, then celebrated with champagne next door at her country mansion.
 
Photographers and fans mobbed both the white vintage Cadillac carrying the 23-year-old groom to the church and a car carrying Posh Spice Victoria Adams and driven by her fiance David Beckham.
 
Baby Spice Emma Bunton and Sporty Spice Mel C arrived separately by car in this village 40 kilometres west of London.
 
Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell was not thought to be among the guests.
 
The 23-year-old bride -- expecting a baby next year -- wore a white dress, a blue garter given to her by Baby Spice Emma Bunton, and antique earrings from her mother. She was given away by her father.
 
Guests attending the 40-minute service at St. John the Baptist Church sang Bob Marley's One Love and two traditional hymns. There was also music from the London Community Gospel Choir and an all-female string quartet.
 
On a day of sunshine and showers, the reception was held in a huge marquee in the mansion's grounds in which a small artificial lake had been built.
 
The bride went to great lengths to shield her big day from the public eye.
 
A specially-constructed white canvas tunnel to the door of the 12th-century church guarded the guests from view.
 
The secrecy disappointed many fans who had waited outside. Brittany Stallwood, 7, had waited for hours without seeing a single Spice Girl.
 
"I'm disappointed," she said. "I didn't see any of them, but I have still enjoyed the day."
 
Mel B met her new husband when they danced together earlier this year, and he proposed after seven weeks. She is three months pregnant with their child.
 
Wedding speculation had intensified when it was revealed last month that Mel B was following Posh Spice into motherhood. She and her fiance have said they will marry next year, after the birth of their child.
 
Last month, the News of the World newspaper said Mel B was the second member of the chart-topping Spice Girls to become pregnant, after Posh.
 
"I'm not saying yes and I'm not saying no," the paper quoted Mel B as saying. But her father Martin Brown was quoted as saying: "How did you find out? You're the first."
 
The Spice Girls have topped the charts in 40 countries, with their first album selling more than 30 million copies and have just complete a gruelling North American tour.
