I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end systems and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start your free trial at shopify.com.
Hello and welcome to Mamma Mia Out Loud. It's what women are actually talking about on Monday the 20th of July. I'm Holly Wainwright. I'm Em Burnham. I'm Amelia Lester. And here's what's on our agenda for today. There was only really one place to be this morning and it wasn't here in the studio with us, which is unfortunate. It was watching the football with Madonna and Trump.
LAUGHTER
And depending on where you were sitting and who with, you either had a great time or a cringy time, we'll be talking you through everyone who was there. Cannot wait.
Plus a theory that human interaction is fading due to a device that's actually not a smartphone.
And an Australian parental leave policy is making some people very happy and some people very angry.
But first, Emily Vernon.
In case you missed it, it's the season of celebrity weddings.
It really is, isn't it? I guess it's because it's the northern summer. And so, you know, normally the northern summer isn't that hot, although in recent years climate change has put paid to that. So more summer weddings than spring weddings.
Yes, well, Mel C, also known as Sporty Spice, recently got married over the weekend to one of us. An Australian. His name is Chris Dingwall and he is an Australian model. They got married, I think, in an intimate... It's been reported it's been an intimate wedding in England. All the Spice Girls were there except Vicky B, but she did make the gown.
Oh, I love that. I... Congratulations. Congratulations, Sporty. I do not want to rain on your beautiful parade. It looked amazing. I'm so happy for you. This is the first time she got married.
Yeah.
Yeah. Which is impressive, I guess, is it? I don't know. I'll stop talking. But I won't stop talking because I question the Vicky B exclusion because she was at the football.
Yeah.
So the reason she wasn't there is she's in New York. She was at the final today with the rest of the Beckham family.
But she doesn't need to be there. She does, though, because... Because England weren't in it. They weren't in it. But we learned last week, and we talked about it on the podcast last week, that David Beckham had a very prominent role at this year's World Cup. It's all part of a partnership with FIFA. He is what's known as a VVIP, very, very important person. Wow. And it's estimated that he's going to make upwards of $30 million from the brand exposure that he got at the World Cup.
Because not everybody loves FIFA, as we'll get to a little bit later. And so it's good to have. So do you think it was in his contract that Posh had to be there? Of course.
Well, even if not in his contract, I think that the way he sells stuff is by being David Beckham Inc. Like married to Posh, looking handsome in a suit at the soccer game. Like that's all part of how he sells things.
Okay, so in that case, this was a scheduling error on Mel C's part.
And I think Mel C gets it. Like, she gets it. Vicky designed a beautiful dress for her. I thought it was really lovely.
I just hope she got to FaceTime in while she was watching the game going, I really don't want to be here. I wish I could be here.
Well, it was on Saturday, right, which was the day that England did play that amazing, like, third place game. Yeah. I know this isn't a sports show. But anyway, so she may have been busy.
Mm-hmm.
My other question is, they got married on Saturday in England. Today, which is Monday, our time, photos are all in vogue.
She did what the girls needed. That's what I mean. Immediate release of photos.
There is a certain other celebrity whose wedding pictures are still... Somewhere lost between the camera shop and the bride?
Like, what's going on?
What happened at Mel C (Sporty Spice)'s wedding and why was Posh Beckham absent?
I feel like if Taylor Swift does release her photos, I'm going to be angry.
