They got married on 4 July 1999 at Luttrellstown Castle on the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland following a two-year relationship. Both VB and David had an outfit change during their nuptials – Victoria started by wearing a Vera Wang satin ballgown with a corseted top and full skirt to match her husband’s chic suit, and she accessorised with a diamond and gold tiara and crucifix necklace that had been a gift from David.
For their reception, they both changed into their now infamous purple outfits; the fashion designer rocked a vibrant one-shoulder dress with floral applique, while David wore a blazer and trousers in the same bold hue.

The Beckham family are likely looking forward to a busy few months ahead, as Brooklyn’s wedding to his fiancee Nicola Peltz is due to take place this year.
The couple, who got engaged in 2020, spoke of their wedding in detail for the first time as they cooked a delicious Valentine’s Day meal with Vogue magazine. Speaking of their Jewish ceremony and wedding outfits, Brooklyn said: “Full wedding prep mode and it’s a lot of fun. It’s strange, because the more wedding meetings that we have, the more real it feels.
Like it still kind of feels fake, in a way. I’m excited. I’m wearing a Yarmulke,” he revealed.
“Yes, Jewish wedding,” added Nicola.
She continued: “So, the Friday night, Brooklyn’s gonna stay with my dad, my brothers, and then his dad and his brothers and have like a boy slumber party.
“And I’m going to stay with the girls. So, from the Friday night dinner, we’re not going to see each other until we get married in the afternoon. We’ve been panicking about it, this one night apart.”
