The Spice Girls singer married the Red Bull Formula 1 boss at a ceremony held in a parish church at Bedfordshire in May last year, where Geri’s daughter Bluebell was a bridesmaid.
The happy couple began dating early in 2014 after being friends for many years. They announced their engagement quietly a few months later with a small notice in The Times.
Both Geri and Christian both have children from previous marriages: Geri's daughter Bluebell, and Christian's three-year-old daughter Olivia from his relationship to former partner Beverley.

The former pop star has previously spoken about her wedding day, confessing it was "truly the happiest day" of her life. During an appearance on This Morning, she said: "People talk about their wedding day and until you get there, you don't really know what it's going to be like. It truly was the happiest day of my life, it was so amazing."
"The thing is my mother, she got divorced so it kind of put me off a bit if I'm honest and I hadn't met anyone that I felt it was right [with] really. And when I met Christian, I automatically knew, I did, I actually said to my friend, 'I think I've met the man I want to marry.'"
