Even if you don’t particularly care about the bride, most people enjoy looking at wedding photos. So here you go – on Friday, Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell married Formula 1 racing team boss Christian Horner in England. The bride and groom have apparently known each other for years, although they’ve only “officially” been together since March 2014. I say “officially” because Horner left his partner of 14 years for Ginger Spice. It’s a mess. I’ll get to that in a moment. For now, let’s just talk about the wedding stuff. Here’s something I didn’t know/realize: this is Ginger Spice’s first wedding! I thought she had been married a few times already, but no. She’s been engaged several times and she’s the mother of 9-year-old daughter Bluebell.
The wedding took place at the Woburn Abbey in Buckinghamshire. Ginger Spice wore a gown made by Phillipa Lepley with lace sleeves and a “hidden corset.” She carried a bouquet of what looked like pale pink, peach and cream roses. I like her bouquet more than the dress. The dress is inoffensive though – I don’t find it especially amazing or especially hideous. I guess you could say it’s “timeless.” And I’m a little bit shocked that Spice Girl went so conservative/traditional with her look. Certainly I wasn’t the only one expecting a strapless, bejeweled mermaid dress? Geri also Instagrammed her something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue – go here to see.
As for the mess… Horner left his partner of 14 years, Beverly Allen, for Ginger. Horner and Allen never married, although when he left her, she had just given birth to their daughter Olivia a few months beforehand. Apparently, Horner’s parents were “devastated” that he dumped his long-term partner for a Spice Girl, and the parents boycotted this wedding. Horner’s brothers did come. But it’s still a mess.

She looked beautiful.
I read that all Spice girls were invited and only Baby Spice came. How awful. Were they close? Because if your close friedn invites you to their wedding, you go no matter what.
It’s well known that Geri doesn’t get along particularly with them. And I can’t see Victoria, for example, wanting to give Geri the added attention her presence would afford. Her excuse of obscure fashion week was lame. I wouldn’t want to put on a smiley face for such a home-wrecker relationship.
That all said, she looks beautiful and hope they last. With all the pain their union has caused, I hope it was worth it.
I didn’t know that., so if they’re not close, fair enough.
But again, if my close friend was getting married, I’d be there, even it was a homewrecker relationship.
^ I like CharlotteCharlotte’s comment. Can we get some like buttons up in this joint?
Geri was at David Beckham’s 40th birthday party recently. So she was close enough and on good enough terms with Victoria to be invited to that. Melanie was supposed to be there but backed out in the last second with some excuse about one of her daughters. But her little girl was in the wedding. Mel hasn’t exactly been reliable on anything these days with her drama surrounding her marriage.
Oh please, no one put a gun to this guys head. I am not saying Geri is some innocent party but what about the guy?
He obviously didn’t want to marry his GF of 14 years for some reason and never would in the future, even with a child on the way. And I think the baby was a last chance to snag him which is shame to use a child that way btw!
He is no innocent party, lets ask him why he never married his gf of 14 years, why never used protection, and why he was ok with marrying Geri? He probably stayed with his gf of years because he was comfortable not in love. Men stay for many reasons — kids, money, comfort. Most are not romantic.
I highly doubt he will go back to his ex. If anything he may leave Geri for someone else in the future but I think they will have a kid or 2 first.
Oh, but it’s ok to blame the spurned lover. That she somehow deserved to be treated like that because she trapped him with a baby? Good grief.
You go hard, as if you’ve been in this situation. Side piece maybe? Do tell…
“With all the pain their union has caused, I hope it was worth it.”
That was very well said.
Charlotte
That’s about as factual as a blind item.
They are close. Very close with the exception of Posh and scary not liking eachother. Outside of that they all get along. The others had other engagements and obligations. They did tweet congrats and sent gifts. And outside of this they have been seen together recently.
No one claims a gun was put to this guy’s head and of course he is accountable for his part as is every man or woman in a committed relationship who cheats, but that does not discount the role of the mistress/mister who knowingly gets involved with someone in a supposed committed relationship. It isn’t possible to steal a human being from another person, but it is a fact that these people lack morals and conviction and are selfish. There are literally billions of people on this planet and yet they pursue someone who for all intense purposes is “unavailable.” Their foremost justification is that “well, he/she wasn’t happy anyway, so if it wasn’t me, it would’ve been someone else.” 1) but it wasn’t someone else; it was you, and 2) if it could’ve have been so easily someone else, what does that say about your relationship with them? Not much.
Florc, they are well known to have many arguments. They may all love each other, and I believe they do, but that does not mean they get along.
I can well see them participating in big shows of togetherness when they feel it will be beneficial to them, then not wanting a bar of it when it’s for someone else’s attention. Relationships aren’t all black and white. These girls have known each other a long time. I stand by my comment. Victoria may tweet and give sound bites about loving Geri and being sorry to miss her ‘big day’, but I think she avoided it. Neither of us knows the truth.
Ginger broke up the spice girls.i can’t believe Baby showed!
I wish they’d get back together and let Vanilla Ice join. He could be Vanilla Spice.
Not true, all the spice girls except Mel B where there last month for David Beckham’s 40th. So they must be speaking to each other

@Mispronounced Name Dropper – great idea! Then Madonna could join – she’d be Old Spice.
@jaded… Madonna… Old Spice! That’s hilarious.
@Jaded:might as well get Dolly Parton to join too. She can be Spice Rack.
Aussie Girl
Correct. Many here are omitting the former group members do still text and hang out privately as well as publicly. With the exception of Mel and Victoria. It’s kind of amazing they’ve stayed so close for so long. But girls getting along without drama isn’t fun to talk about I guess.
Warning totally off topic!
I was stuck in the will-I-go wedding dilemma last summer. My friend was marrying a man who has hit her in the past, no one could talk sense into her she was determined to be married to him and he has shown no signs of change, I had to grit my teeth and go, if I didn’t I was just isolating her and my worry is she will have no one when he lashes out again, I had a headache and urge to punch the groom all day. Sometimes you just suck it up and go.
I had a similar dilemma as well, though it involved a shady relationship, not violence. I went, because I figured that [doo doo] was going to hit the fan someday and she’d need support. But literally no one on the groom’s side showed up.
That was sweet of you both to go. Maybe you can help some day. You are good friends.
Oh, man. Well, I would cause a scene IN CHURCH if a friend of mine married a man that hit her. Over my dead body.
I think you did the caring, loving thing.as long as you try to talk someone out of it, standing by in good times and bad is what a real friend is about. And not leaving her isolated in the future, good point. Terrible situation though.
Wow! Now I feel like a jerk.
I was in the same situation and I was actually in the wedding party, but I pulled out of the wedding after the bride showed up at my house crying because the groom hit her. I begged her not to marry him…but she did and they had a baby together. Our relationship was never the same. Perhaps I should have just been there for her, but I grew up with so much domestic violence that I couldn’t stomach watching her marry the guy. I don’t know if they are still together…wouldn’t surprise me if they were.
I actually attended a wedding this past Saturday of a friend who I am confident was making a really bad decision. We all (her friends and family) had pointed out some obvious red flags early in the relationship and she thought them over and decided to ignore them. Even as recent as the morning of the wedding, the groom was calling the bride and criticizing her over trivial things. He even told her he hoped she felt stupid over having to have a wedding (it’s her first; his fourth) when all he wanted to do was just elope. It was so very hard to see, but we were there for her because that’s what she wanted.
I agree. She looks beautiful.
That is not a great start to a marriage if your husband’s parents boycott the wedding. Did Posh and Becks or any other former Spice Girls attend the wedding?
I think it’s classic, beautiful and fits her perfectly. She looks happy and the so does the groom. Best wishes to them both. The circumstances sound less than ideal, but it don’t know anything about these people, so I can’t really judge.
+1
Also, the young bridesmaid/flower girl looks so sweet. I wonder if that’s her daughter?
Sullivan: yes, that’s her daughter.
1st off…i thought these were pics of duchess kate middleton!
i never realized katie had vavavoom ginger spice vibes going on…
2ndly…and come on…we can judge here…
i didn’t know the back story with ginger’s wedding, so i read some UK articles.
WOW
she totally stocked this guy for years…and he was probably getting some on the side during that 14 yr. relationship…
google the articles and look at the pics…
he was mortified to be in the same frame with ginger while she was basking in the delight of shaming the girlfriend.
this story is as old as the hills…
long term respected relationship becomes boring.
this guy has reputation of being soft spoken and meek tempered while the girlfriend wore the pants.
hot spice comes along and this guy grows a new set…
and she’s able to convince him to dump the old girlfriend and leave his new baby, too.
he obviously has no moral compass, but hey, maybe he felt trapped by the new baby after all these years?
did the old girlfriend sense he had one foot out the door?
ginger stalked and hunted down this guy for the money and never looked back when she realized he was easy prey…
let’s see how long this lasts.
hope he has an iron clad prenup.
So true. In the examples I’ve seen, the “new set” doesn’t last long and usually shrivels shortly after the wedding to lady #2….so yes, he better hope that while having that temporary pair he got a good prenup. But doubtful. When that type goes out on a limb for “true love” they usually don’t want to hear anything that counteracts that….I suspect the ex girlfriend will be the long term winner by being shed of him. And the other two deserve each other.
When I said I couldn’t judge, it was because I didn’t know the story. If what you say is true, that’s terrible.
she is far wealthier than he is, so she definitely isn’t marrying him for his money. If anything, she’s the one who’s monetary assets need protecting
She is worth way more than him. Kudos to him for standing there by her with or without the pretentious parents.
Supposedly he is worth 7.5 mil and she is worth 25 mil
@goodnames
i wasn’t judging you for not judging!
😊
rather i was justifying my cattiness with info on what i’ve read.
adding on a more serious note…
the ones affected the most by this age long scenario are the children.
his newborn and bluebell…
Ha! No, I didn’t think that! I just know you KNOW I can judge! Lol
Yes, the children always suffer for the bad decisions of their parents. It’s sad.
ITA – She looks happy and beautiful. I love the dress and the flowers. I love classic wedding dresses. I hate strapless gowns. They look like they are going to slide down. The bride is tucking at them or pulling them up the entire wedding. If you don’t have small very firm breast, your boobs looks saggy and fleshy. And unless you are very fit, back fat creeps up around the top of the gown, under the arms and around the back. The best fitting strapless gown I have ever seen (even though it was not a wedding gown) was the red dress that Mrs. Clooney wore to the Met Gala. BTW, I know nothing about these people’s personal lives so I wont comment but I agree with what someone said in an earlier post. If this man was committed to his previous girlfriend, he would have married her. It doesn’t take 14 years. When he found someone he wanted to marry, he got married. If you want to be married don’t waste 14 years with a man who wont put a ring on it. I think the same was true of Justin Theroux and with Jon Hamm. These are men who are/were comfortable and stay in relationships while waiting for the “right” woman comes along. We need to stop having babies with men who wont marry us. (myself included)
But what if we, the women, don’t want to be married but want kids?
Having worked in the fashion industry ‘crtb’ I can tell you the only designer who can make a strapless gown work on practically any averaged sized woman today is Bob Mackie , he leaves Largerfeld and Armani etc , in the dust , he always incorporates proper made to measure boning in the bodice. Dior and Givenchy in the old days pre 80’s yes, but not now.
Why is it all about marriage?
Dear Palar and Valoise
If you, as women, are not interested in marriage or kids then good for you. I salute you. But when I re-read the above article, it says several times that this situation was a mess. That leads me to believe that Beverly Allen did want to be married, otherwise why is it a mess? When Justin Theroux left his girlfriend of 14 years, people crucified him. Why? If it was not about marriage and you chose to date without a commitment of something more, then you can be devastated or it isn’t messy when he leaves. Don’t invest 14 years of your life with someone, say you are cool with just dating then get upset when he marries someone else. He obviously wanted to be married, she didn’t , so he stayed until he found someone he want to marry.
Her daughter’s name is bluebell? She didn’t foresee a lifetime of cow jokes with that one?
Edit: after having fully woken up, I realized that people from Texas might be the only ones to get that. Sorry.
Don’t worry am pretty sure much of the world gets the Bluebell / cow thing.
Who hasn’t seen Belle the singing cow for Bluebell ice cream??? That’s what came to mind for me when I read that. That commercial is infamous.
Man I miss bluebell ice cream
+1 Texan checking in. Yes cow, ice cream and now listeria jokes… But probably not in the UK lol! 🙂
I know! Am I going to have to eat Ben and Jerry’s now?? Get it together Bluebell.
Wasn’t their motto ” we eat all we can and we sell the rest?” I thought that was cute. Listeria, not cute.
jenjennyjenjenjenn, HOWDY from a fellow Texan here! Yep, it’s sad about Bluebell Ice Cream, they just laid off a bunch of people….
Completely off-topic, but I was in a Bluebell Ice Cream commercial as a child. It consisted of standing around in summer party wear – during the winter – for hours on end while ankle deep in mud, eating bowl after bowl of ice cream for “authenticity.”
I didn’t eat ice cream again for a year.
Actually it’s Bluebell Madonna…..yes it gets worse! Terrible name.
Too Disney princess. Whatever, a wedding dress is only worn for a few hours then stored in moth balls for life, but given that back story, the little girl hopefuleness of the dress is a bit much. She does look beautiful though.
Exactly this..
So beautiful and gorgeous – anyone who says anything else is just mean-spirited.
Hello.
I wonder what the mother of his 6 month old thinks of the dress?
Probably pea green with envy because she didn’t manage to get one in 14years.
I saw the throwback picture that Victoria Beckham tweeted to wish Geri a happy wedding day. Amazingly, Geri looks younger now than she did when she was in the Spice Girls! Maybe it was all the make-up? Anyway, I think she looks gorgeous, too.
David’s Bridal…gown is nothing special. Woman isn’t what I’d consider attractive either. She’s a bride. Period. Call me mean-spirited…but also call me honest.
As Lainey pointed out, this dress was a counterpoint to the murky goings on behind the scenes of this relationship.
As for the style, i’m not surprised that Geri Halliwell chose that particular designer. She’s re-invented herself as a society lady who lunches for some years now and the designer is specifically caters to that crowd.
The old sparkly, shock’em ginger spice has been dead for some years now.
posted In wrong place.
I think the dress is beautiful. Then again, I think all brides are beautiful.
Yhe dress is lovely. Shows off the shoes. Hard to why, but so classic, especially with the pale rosed.
I forgot about Bluebell Madonna. Maybe she goes by Blue or Belle?
The relationship situation reminds me of JustJen/Heidi.
yes to the JustJen/Heidi reference — THANK YOU
Dress is stunning, but hate the veil. It’s a lot of dress already and that puts it over the top, especially for somebody who isn’t a kid.
It’s another case of a guy who tells you that he doesn’t need a piece of paper to be committed, but what he really means is that he doesn’t want to be committed to you. Somebody else wanders by, and he trips over himself buying a ring. Classic “When Harry Met Sally” moment.
She wore white? Pft. I bet the church lights flickered when she walked in.
*spits out coke* hahahahaaaaaaaaaa wasn’t ready for that one 🙂
woah, if your whole family stays away from it you really should think about what you are doing but then again you cant expect that from a man leaving his long term partner with a newborn.
its devastating as it is but it must be sooo much worse when its a famous person. you will never evade all the pictures of them together. that must suck even harder. at least Gigner Spice is a has been, if it was an in demand singer and everybody was fawning over her being flawless it would probably be even worse.
All his brothers were there, what are you talking about? Jeez, it’s 2015 and his parents are not saints!
Yes, we all know morality ended in 2013.
I didn’t realize parents were always a pillar of morality, excuse me. Have known quite a few who failed to see their children’s happiness clearly.
Story goes these two were spotted going into a fertility clinic in London in recent weeks. I wonder if they used the same doctors he used with his ex partner, when they had their daughter.
As Lak said above the dress is very refined society lady.
It’s a classic 50s/60s dress–the neckline, the fitted bodice, the three-quarter sleeves. It looks completely fresh next to the usual strapless wedding dresses; its funny what your eye gets used to seeing.
Yes, it very much looks like a 50/60s wedding dress. As soon as I saw it, I thought how much it looks like my mother’s wedding dress from 1955.
It’s very Duchess of Cambridge and entirely appropriate and lovely. However, I think it’s a smidge too short, or she decided on a different pair of shoes last minute that were higher. I hate his stubble, though. He looks as if he was out on his stag do all night. But then blokes who leave their ‘wives’ and children. Meh. Always kinda ugly.
She looks beautiful. It is very flattering on her. I love the veil. It looks like a beautiful wedding.
I thought she’d been married before and i was going to say that was a bit princess-y for a 2nd wedding, but it’s her first, so I get it. It’s very pretty, in a classic way.
That’s sad and shady about her now husband. Must have been pretty bad for his parents to boycott.
I just saw some photo of 4 of the 5 Spice girls showing up for David Beckham’s birthday party, and only 1 came to her wedding? Ouch.
I know many women have a certain idea about how their wedding will be but to me once you have a 10 year old kid, have had multiple engagemens, are involved in a shady relationship and are in your 40s, a traditional white wedding dress seems so silly.
To each their own, however!
I admit I had the same reaction. Most middle-aged women with kids would have probably gone for something a bit less spectacular (the veil in particular). But perhaps this is the vision of her wedding she’s had all her life. Good luck to them in any case, this sounds like a not-very-auspicious start to a marriage.
WTH!? 40s is middle aged?!
@Coco.. um… yes?
If women on average live till around 80 depending on race and nationality, 40 is half way! Lol it’s fine to whine and say 40 isnt old but you cant say it’s not “middle” aged because it is!
Agree. I was forty when I married the second time, and I wouldn’t have dreamed of wearing a veil. I don’t think I would have gone the princess’s route even if it had been my first wedding. I really didn’t want a long dress, but if couldn’t find anything else that was suitable. It was really simple, though.
Gosh, wasn’t the story that she very actively, openly pursued him, even in front of his then partner?
I don’t know, but I imagine the affair went on for a while. His partner was six years older than him. Geri is a year older. I guess the one good thing was he didn’t leave her for a hot young thing.
His ex has grown sons now, but all their years together they never had children together. Thirteen years into the relationship, in her mid 40s, she gets pregnant with their first child together. I have a feeling she knew he was having an affair with Geri and got pregnant as a last resort to save the relationship.
I know someone who did that after she found out her husband was having an affair. Their sons were in high school, almost grown, and they had never tried nor wanted any more children. The affair threw her for a loop. She was 44 and got pregnant, in her mind, as a means to keep him. She admitted it to me. I guess she was worried he might leave her after the boys were in college. It worked. He was shocked and not that happy about the pregnancy, but fell in love with his baby girl and adores her and they stayed together. Although, he will always cheat, I think.
It’s pretty amazing that you can track their growing relationship from track side pictures taken at various grandprix through the years.
Geri actively pursued this guy irrespective of his relationship status, and finally got him.
Hope it was worth it.
Yes, it was gossiped about on forums long before it came out in the press. The DM also noticed! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2592455/The-F1-chief-pregnant-wife-Geri-Halliwell-stole-pole-position-life-Seen-strolling-public-reveal-Spice-Girl-followed-millionaire-years-partner-expected-baby.html
Good theory about the falling pregnant to save the relationship but totally wrong in this instance. Olivia (Beverly & Christian’s daughter) was the result of IVF. She was a much planned for baby that, obviously, both were fully aware they were creating. This was no pregnancy by stealth. Even so, I don’t believe a man leaves his partner of 14 years and extremely young baby if there are not problems in the relationship anyway. I’m sure Geri & he were having a raging affair for months prior to him leaving but the fact he has left Beverley at a difficult time and become engaged and married to Geri in such a short time frame afterwards tells me that he never thought Beverly was “the one” and that he immediately knew Geri was. Still, an uncomfortable situation all round.
I like the idea of the dress, but the top isn’t executed well and doesn’t seem suited for Geri’s body. The lace sleeves should be lovely, but the tank straps underneath seem very dated with how they’re cut.
He has appeared naked in Cosmo badgergp (.) com / images / 2010 / 05 / christian-hornertitle-580×580 (.)jpg
I think Bluebell is one of the worst names I’ve every heard for a little girl by a celebrity.
It’s up there.
Is it better or worse that it’s “Bluebell Madonna”?
Isn’t that so typical though? Guy is with a partner, unmarried, for years. Leaves for someone else, almost instantly married. Side eye all day long for these two.
Its a lovely, traditional dress, and she is a beautiful bride. Best wishes.
She looks pretty. However, the wedding and media coverage must be hard to take for the now ex-partner.
Assuming the rumors are true that she actively pursued him when he was attached… Why him?
I love the dress but it is out of Geri’s wheelhouse so to speak.
As for the shadiness of how they got together, not everyone is magical and single when they fall in love. Shit happens like this all the time, it is not anything new. I have a friend with a guy for 8 years separated but going not through with the divorce yet(he lost a lot of money and is struggling to settle it), they got together when he was married and grossly unhappy. Now she dumps this separated guy because she is tired of him not getting his shit together for another man–it was rather shocking because I must admit the separated guy was a VERY nice man. She dumped him, kicked him out, and moved new guy in within a month.
I feel like a lot of people feel that you are messing with someone else’s “property” when they are married. No one owns anyone. Shit happens, people change, people fall out of love all the time…People together x amount of years even married doesn’t mean it is forever. There are no guarantees in this world.
The only certain thing in life is change. I’m totally with you ahnd have never been able to understand why human species insists on clinging.
Here is my take on the parents.
When the male child is over 40… it is time to stop the attempts, to bully him into your demands. Geez. How dramatic of them. Thank goodness they kept their salty asses at home.
The couple were able to have a nice ceremony, without the high drama of his parents. And their pinched faces taking center stage.
Sounds like Geri kinda shoehorned herself into his life. She set her sights on him and stalked him until she got him. She always struck me as the type of woman who won’t stop until she gets what she wants. She tried the same thing to snag Russell Brand, and it backfired big time. He basically told the press that she was a convenient booty call and nothing else. Then he said that he was in love with someone else, and Geri meant nothing to him. That must have smashed her ego. Not saying Russell wasn’t an ungallant douche about the whole thing, but she’s no better.
She also seems like a girl who gets turned on by the hunt, the challenge. Christian seems quite boring, even for a Formula One guy. She’s gonna get bored quickly with him and his grandpa hairline. He’s fabulously wealthy, and a world-renouned sportsman, and you know part of Geri has always envied Victoria Beckham. Geri is not the kind of girl that you invite to hang out with your family – she’ll steal your man without a thought. His partner had just had a baby, and Geri didn’t give a whit. Karma will bite her though – his daughter will hate them both. He won’t have a relationship with his parents again, either (they were probably dead on for boycotting the wedding, too – they know that shiz won’t last). Christian was mesmerized by the poon, I wonder how long it will take him to realize what a huge mistake he made and all of the bridges he’s burned.
That being said, those hooker wedding shoes made me LOL. Bet they cost her a fortune, but they are so redneck. Also, Bluebell Madonna LOLZ that is the tackiest try hard baby name ever. Poor kid!
A man cannot be “stolen” unless he chooses to be.
It’s really strange, because it seems men do know who they want to marry. For example, my cousin had this girlfriend whom he had been with for about four years, she was already pretty much part of the family, and as we are a traditional Mexican family, the marriage question began to be asked, he was all “we dont need a paper to love each other… We are happy this way…. Marriage is not in our cards yet….”. But then he met this other girl, and in a matter of months he dumped this girlfriend and got married. This was about 3 years ago and he is still really happy with his wife. It was strange, and everyone in the family was pissed at first but time and the fact that she makes him happy, improved the situation with the family, and now it is all normal.
Now, this situation seems 100 times worse because that Christian dude has a baby…
I’ve reached this conclusion too. They do know who they want to marry and if it’s not her, they can drag on for decades in a “committed relationship” with “no need of a paper”. They can have kids, as well. Until She comes along.
I have been with my partner for 15 years. We got engaged after about 10 years but really do not feel the need to marry. I am probably the most reluctant to marry – it does not bother me in the slightest. I feel our kids bind us and it was important for us to have a house/provide for kids, rather than a big wedding. Sure we could have a small one, but it isn’t an urgent need for us. We are soul mates and he is my best friend. Just because you are unmarried and have been together for years doesn’t mean your relationship is any less important. I also know of loads of relationships that have dragged out, not moved on with kids, joint property etc and then suddenly one of them meets another person and its all on. But its not always the way – I can also list a number of marriages with kids who this has also happened to.
I love the dress. And she looks great. Not surprised about his ex. Men and to a lesser extent women have been doing that for ages. Be with someone for years, exit the relationship, and marry the next one that comes along.
It’s classic and lovely and refreshing… I’m so tired of plunging strapless numbers shellacked with sequins. It’s your wedding day, so do you, I guess, but I always thought a wedding dress should be more than just a white evening gown. It’s a joyous occasion, but also a pretty serious one. Save the skin for the honeymoon.
i think if your baby with someone else is only 6 mo old, stay engaged for a few months . maybe you are in a state of flux. your wallet will thank you.
Exactly.
He looks like the guy from Sharknado.
Beautiful bride.
gorgeous & love the sleeves. Like the trend of sleeves, lace & femininity. So over seeing strapless dress.
She’s wearing hooker shoes
It just seems messy to be involved with a man who’s just had a baby with another woman. Seems like all sides are desperate. The woman who had the baby with a man who doesn’t care. The man who can’t stay in one spot after creating a mess in another. The other woman who didn’t stop herself from picking a man who seems unstable in his life.
I’d have waited until the baby was at least a year old and her parents were split up for at least a year too.
Kind of like having a wedding based on some other woman’s tears. His parents boycotting the wedding speaks volumes.
I wouldn’t resort to the parents’ opinion as a foundation for judgement. People in their late 60s or even 70s are not exactly who I would base my life on, even if they are my parents.
ita, it seems like they are going out of their way to make a messy situation messier
The dress is gorgeous, I’d wear one like that in a heartbeat.
I did not know Cristian Horner had such a messy personal life, I only know him from F!.
Gery gas always been a bit of strange person but I can not help but like all of the Spice Girls a but and her dress is beautiful.
She looked beautiful. I love the dress, her makeup, and her hair.
Folks, it’s simple: if he wanted to stay with his ex, nothing but death would have kept him away from her, and Geri wouldn’t have stood a chance. We want to paint a relationship we don’t know about with a clear villain or villainess, and a heroine. In reality, this is how life sometimes works – you don’t meet across a crowded room or through a mutual friend, all while both being single. My ex-husband left me after almost a decade of marriage for another woman that worked under him, and every time my mom would say that she “took him away”, I have to remind her that it was his choice to leave, simple as that.
The circumstances of how Geri and Christian got together aren’t the fairytale that we expect, but it’s clear he wanted to marry her and not his ex. Having a child doesn’t cement a relationship automatically.
As for the dress, I love it! Thrilled to see that she didn’t go for the strapless, boobs out to the street trend. Especially if you’re getting married in a religious ceremony, which she clearly was.
Exactly! Totally agree. Geri didn’t “steal” him. He went because he wanted to. Totally awful that his ex-partner had just had a baby (yes, it makes him sound like a totally scoundrel), but if he had been completely happy with her, Geri would not have turned his head. Oh, and the whole thing I’ve heard about Geri being a social climber and hanging around the rich set of Formula One – I’ve also read comments that Beverly (Christian’s ex) completely embraced that lifestyle just as much. Geri wasn’t the only one who seemed to enjoy all the perks of being with the boss of Red Bull Racing. I still feel for her though – having to pick herself up again after a 14 year relationship implosion with a young daughter to take care of must be hard.
The dress is completely beautiful – classic, timeless and appropriate. I cannot stand strapless wedding dresses. I thought Geri looked completely beautiful on her wedding day. I hope for both their sakes that the marriage lasts.
I hope that as well, especially for the sake of the kids. Kids always want peaceful stability, they need that. Only time will tell, but I wish them nothing but the best!
This is late but I ADORE your screen name! Mmmm Legend of Zelda ftw.
Haha, thanks! I’ve been on a Zelda kick lately, playing Majora’s Mask into the wee hours, because screw adulthood, lol!
Everything you said is spot on, but he was still trying to work things out with his wife as late as last December. Obviously, his heart wasn’t in it, but I gotta say, how could any woman who just gave birth compete with Halliwell with her pretty face, vavavoom body and I’ll bet she shoved that body right in his face. He made the choice. He left the relationship, but Gerri was persuasive and persistant. He is known for being with women who run the show. Perhaps Gerri was the balls he doesn’t seem to have.
She is absolutely beautiful and I love that dress. I’m so happy more modest wedding dresses are making a comeback, I’m so tired of seeing the same skintight strapless top with boobs everywhere.
I don’t know jack about this situation but it does seem a bit unfair that there is an unspoken home wrecker subtext being put in print. You can lead a horse to water, but if he left it was because he wanted to.
1. From the body/face language of these photos, he is TOTALLY into her. VERY much in love.
2. She looks like Marilu Henner.
3. Love the dress, love the daughter.
HOrners ex looks exactly like Geri.
Pretty dress. Ugly people.
Wow. Lot of hate for strapless wedding dresses everywhere. They’re not all boobs and ill fitting you know….
