The Spice Girls singer, 52, and the Australian model officially tied the knot on Saturday, July 18, in England. Following their intimate ceremony, the couple escaped to Ibiza, where they were seen enjoying quality time together away from the spotlight. The romantic images showed the newlyweds embracing, laughing, and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere of their honeymoon destination.
Chisholm and Dingwall’s English wedding took place at a friend’s beautiful lakeside property, known as The Country House, in Cumbria, according to Vogue. For the special occasion, Mel C wore a stunning wedding gown designed by her longtime friend and fellow Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham. The elegant dress reflected the singer’s personal style, combining sophistication with a timeless and understated look.
Before their larger celebration in England, the couple had already completed a legal wedding ceremony in Australia, Dingwall’s home country. According to Vogue, the earlier ceremony was a more private occasion, and Chisholm incorporated a meaningful fashion detail connected to Beckham. For that event, her “something borrowed” came directly from the designer’s own wardrobe.
Beckham previously revealed that she had unexpectedly learned about Chisholm’s Australian wedding plans during a casual dinner conversation. The fashion designer explained that she had asked Mel C what she was doing, only to discover that the singer was preparing to travel to Australia and get married just days later. When Beckham asked what Chisholm planned to wear, the singer explained that she had ordered one of Beckham’s dresses, but it did not fit properly and there was not enough time to have it altered before the trip.
Fortunately, Beckham happened to own the exact same dress in her personal wardrobe and immediately offered it to her friend. The thoughtful gesture allowed Chisholm to wear something special and meaningful for the legal ceremony, creating another memorable connection between two longtime friends.
When Beckham later discovered that Chisholm and Dingwall were planning a bigger wedding celebration in England, she once again stepped in to help. This time, she offered her creative talents to design Mel C’s dream wedding dress. The collaboration between the two Spice Girls stars added an extra emotional touch to the singer’s special day.
Reflecting on the wedding, Chisholm described the celebration as “quite low-key,” emphasizing that the atmosphere was relaxed, romantic, and stylish. Despite being a famous global performer, she chose a more personal and intimate approach for the occasion. The wedding was attended by several of her Spice Girls bandmates, including Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell-Horner, and Melanie “Mel B” Brown, making the event even more meaningful.
The couple’s love story began in a modern way. During an appearance on the Life Uncut podcast hosted by Brittany Hockley and Laura Byrne in November 2025, Chisholm opened up about how she and Dingwall first met. She revealed that the pair connected through the celebrity dating app Raya before going on their first date in November 2023.

Although their relationship had remained mostly private, Chisholm later shared details about their engagement. Before Vogue’s coverage, the public did not know that Dingwall had already proposed. The singer explained that he surprised her during a romantic getaway to Mallorca in July before their wedding plans became public.
Chisholm recalled that the proposal happened after the couple enjoyed a special evening together at a beautiful hotel. They had spent the night having a tasting menu with wine pairings, and the dinner lasted much longer than expected. She remembered that even the restaurant staff joked that the couple was taking their time finishing the experience.
After returning to their suite, the couple found themselves in a relaxed state after the long meal, with Chisholm describing them as “a bit drunk and a bit full.” However, when she entered the room, she discovered a romantic surprise waiting for her. The space had been filled with candles, creating an intimate and unforgettable setting.
The singer said she was completely caught off guard by the proposal. Although Dingwall expected her to realize what was happening, Chisholm admitted that she was genuinely surprised and overwhelmed by the moment. She described it as beautiful, private, and perfect because it was simply the two of them sharing a deeply personal experience.
