In the quiet hills of Cumbria, a woman once defined by stadium-filling spectacle chose something entirely different — a Georgian country house, a small gathering, and a private love made public only at the moment of its sealing. Mel C, the Spice Girl who long resisted the institution of marriage, wed Australian model Chris Dingwall on a summer afternoon surrounded by waterfalls, old friends, and three of her former bandmates. It was, in its way, a portrait of what comes after fame: the freedom to define one's own story, on one's own terms.
