Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown Plans Vow Renewal in Egypt, Sends Guests 11-Page Invite
After talk about a second wedding for Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown (of Spice Girls and Dancing With the Stars fame) and her producer hubby Stephen Belafonte (who married in June 2007) surfaced in early August, fans of the notoriously high-maintenance diva wondered just how over-the-top the ceremony would be. Well, if they made the guest list, it looks like they got their answer this week. The happy couple sent their close friends an “11-page invite” to the extravagant ceremony they plan to hold in Egypt later this year, a source tells New York Post’s Page Six. (Pause for reaction!) Apparently the couple came up with the idea to hold a second ceremony as a fundraiser of sorts, since they’re hoping to sell the pictures from the event to the highest bidder. I guess that’s where the 11-page contract (because I refuse to call it an invitation) comes in, which the source says was very “ornate and detailed.”
The paper’s gossip source continues: "Everyone has to sign an agreement to be photographed and videotaped. Mel is going to be selling the pictures to a magazine for as high a price as she can get."
One word, Scary Spice: TAC-KY!!! My guess is, that with a clause like that, famous friends like The Beckhams and her sisters –in-spice, won’t likely go.
Is Melanie’s so-called invitation tacky, or to be expected? You tell us!!
Well, It is tacky to say the least... burdening your guests with a contract?! A simple invitation would do just fine. AFTER the wedding--prior to any pictures being sold which have the other particular guest(s) in the picture, she could easily have something signed by them at that time to give their permission to use their picture(s) with hers. Again, AFTER the event would have been a better idea.
