Geri and Christian married in 2015 at St Mary's Church in Woburn, Bedfordshire.
The Spice Girl chose British designer Phillipa Lepley for her A-line lace wedding dress.
The couple was joined by their then nine-year-old daughter Bluebell, whose father is the screenwriter Sacha Gervasi.
Guests included Geri's former “Spice Girls” colleague Emma Bunton, radio presenter and singer Myleene Klass and television presenter Amanda Holden.
Christian's parents were reportedly devastated when the sports pro left his partner of 14 years, Beverley Allen, to be with the chart-topper and therefore chose not to see the duo get married.

The singer shares Bluebell, 17, with her former screenwriter Sacha, with whom she had a relationship in 2005. They separated before she was born.
In 2015 she married Formula 1 team boss Christian Horner. They have a six-year-old son named Monty together. Christian also has daughter Olivia, nine, from his relationship with ex Beverley.
Geri admitted that due to her previous experiences, it is now “challenging for her to compromise” when raising Monty with her “loving” husband Christian.
The Spice Girl joined Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy Mum Happy Baby podcast and opened up about her “very different circumstances” in raising her two children.
She explained that while she needed “broad shoulders” to raise Bluebell as a single mother, she later found it difficult to “learn to be a team.”
Geri told Giovanna: “I've experienced both and I can tell you, yes, I had my mother who helped me with Blue.” So I'm very grateful. And her grandfather is beautiful, so he was a fantastic role model for her.
“He gets them into football, which is great, and I think, you know, they both have their blessings and challenges.”
“As a single mother, you don't have to answer to anyone, but it's all up to you.” And that can be quite stressful and you have to take responsibility. The entire responsibility lies with you in every respect.
“Broad shoulders are required and sometimes it’s lonely.” So that’s what I experienced. And then, you know, I was blessed to have a wonderful husband or partner that I experienced. That is amazing.
“So it's not all up to you, but then you have to compromise, maybe we did, you know, we're all different in the way we think things should be done.” “So learning “Being a team was a challenge for me.”
