Geri Halliwell 'will be walked down the aisle' by Spice Girls' children when she weds fiancé Christian Horner

Make way for the Baby Spices! Geri Halliwell 'will be walked down the aisle by former bandmates' children when she weds fiancé Christian Horner'

Geri Halliwell has called in a few favours from the Spice Girls on her big day.
Ginger Spice has reportedly recruited the help of her former bandmates' children to walk her down the aisle when she gets married to Red Bull Formula One boss Christian Horner on Friday.
The 42-year-old singer couldn't ensure all of the pop group attend her wedding due to their hectic schedules, but has enlisted the help of Emma Bunton and Mel B's children for the ceremony.

A source revealed to The Sun's Dan Wootton: 'Geri wanted her wedding to be a family affair with her own immediate relatives and her Spice Girls family.'
Along with her own daughter Bluebell, nine, the Wannabe hitmaker will be accompanied by Emma's sons Beau, seven, and Tate, four, as well as Mel B's youngest daughter, three-year-old Madison.
The source added: 'The Spice Girls were an important part of her life and she's over the moon that Mel and Emma's children can play a part.'
Unfortunately, Victoria Beckham and Mel C are out of the country meaning neither are able to attend the ceremony.

Geri reformed with all of her gal pals - but Melanie B - at Victoria's recent Marrakech birthday bash for husband David, though none of the former pop stars attended her hen party last Friday.
Flame-haired Geri famously quit the 'girl power' group in 1998, following furious rows with bandmate Mel B and the band subsequently went their separate ways. 
They put their differences behind them and last performed as a five-piece at the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony where they delivered a selection of their greatest hits. 
Earlier this week it was also revealed the groom's parents would not be attending the wedding either.

They were left devastated when the hunk left his partner of 14 years, Beverly Allen, to be with the chart-topping star and therefore won't be seeing the duo tie the knot.
A source close to the couple previously said: 'Geri and Christian are disappointed that his parents aren't coming, but all his brothers, close family and pals will be there.'
But it seems they will be the ones missing out because she's thought to be tying the knot at a suitably spectacular wedding venue, according to reports.
The singer was originally thought to have booked luxurious Syon House in west London for the ceremony to her millionaire Formula 1 team boss beau but it is now known that the ceremony is being held in Bedfordshire village Woburn.

Geri has been publicly dating her 40-year-old fiancé since March 2014, but the pair have been friends since 2009.
They announced their engagement at the end of last year, just months after Red Bull boss Christian left his partner of 14 years, Beverley, following the birth of their first child. 
The couple both have children from previous marriages, she eight-year-old Bluebell and he has a one-year-old girl from his relationship with Beverley.
While Geri has been keeping quiet on her wedding plans, a ceremony does seem imminent as the star celebrated her hen do over the weekend.

The 42-year-old singer was joined by eight close pals and family members, but none of her Spice Girls bandmates, at a private dining club in London for a gourmet meal, a low-key affair organised by her sister Natalie. 
An insider told The Sunday Mirror: 'Geri had a lovely night with close friends and family - people she totally trusts, is comfortable with and known for years.
'She can't wait to walk down the aisle now. It was very personal.' 
Geri - who has been engaged three times but has never made it down the aisle - celebrated her impending wedding with a special cake baked by her older sister, which was decorated with her favourite chocolates - M&Ms and Kit Kats.
