Spice Girls singer Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm has revealed the romantic story behind her husband Chris Dingwall’s surprise marriage proposal during a memorable trip to Mallorca.
The 52-year-old singer said the special moment came after the couple enjoyed a long dinner featuring a tasting menu and wine pairing at their hotel.
Mel C explained that after the extended meal, the couple returned to their suite where she discovered the room decorated with candles, creating an intimate and unforgettable atmosphere.
The singer admitted she was completely surprised by the proposal, despite Dingwall expecting her to notice the preparations.
The romantic engagement took place around a year before the couple officially tied the knot. The pair first completed a legal ceremony in Australia before celebrating their marriage with family and friends in Cumbria, England, on July 18.Tom Cruise’s Powerful World Cup Speech Wins Hearts
For her wedding day, Mel C wore a stunning dress borrowed from fellow Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham. The designer outfit became a meaningful part of the celebration after Mel C’s original dress no longer fit and there was not enough time for alterations before traveling.
Mel C said having Beckham’s support throughout the wedding process was incredibly special, praising her longtime friend’s fashion sense and generosity.
The singer also opened up about her views on marriage, revealing that she never expected it to become part of her life because her career had always been her main focus.
