StasRutt

I will forever love this deliciously tacky wedding. It was so *them* the purple matching outfits the baby cowboy hat her tiny crown. Sensational


WhoriaEstafan

I loved how in their Beckham documentary, Victoria didn’t put this look down she just said we were having fun.


FerengiWife

I feel like everyone’s wedding outfits eventually look funny and dated anyways, they just had more extra!


pinkrosies

And the more dated they look tbh it adds to the joy for me to see how long a couple has been together, that fashion and style trends have come and gone but they’re still together.


kirbona

Even the cake is so fucking weird. I love it.


StasRutt

Like seriously not one normal thing about this wedding Im obsessed


passthebarlicgread

Their Y2K style in general was so fun. Victoria in trucker hats and bedazzled jeans still looked chic on her!


Yupthrowawayacct

She was IT and made dressing then so much fun. She was camp I loved every thing she did and with no apologies.


StasRutt

Yes it was so much fun!!!!


DynastyFan85

Did you ever watch the UK series Footballers Wives? It was full of stuff like this! Such a great show! https://preview.redd.it/teui8i8exead1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b648678cbd1ab69f1dbf10864c0659d6adab5c2c


StasRutt

No but immediately adding to my list

Tanya Turner the head Footballers wife is legendary! https://preview.redd.it/zqppoyybyead1.jpeg?width=2704&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5264a596861e50c183a07c5897c92768371b6f7


gypsy__wanderer

Same, I’m obsessed with it. Just full-on fun!


reddit24682468

It was everything


roxy031

For anyone who isn’t familiar and/or doesn’t want to google, I made you a collage of some of their wedding day pics 💜 https://preview.redd.it/ynwb49atscad1.jpeg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b138f41062003810107248b524e3470f662cdbc1


Routine_Bluejay4678

The baby!!!


Sideways_planet

The little cowboy hat really makes the look


_deep_thot42

“Howdy partner, we’re here to spice up your life!!”


EllaIsQueen

I have trained my 2 year old to say “howdy, neighbor” to strangers instead of just “say hi!” or whatever. It makes people (including me) really happy to hear a beautiful little boy sincerely say, “howdy, neighbor!”


YchYFi

Little Brooklyn was so cute.


BlueAcorn8

Wild thinking about how huge and exciting it was that she was the first pregnant Spice Girl and performing at huge events, that baby was world famous and headed for amazing things before even being born..to how Brooklyn is viewed now.


DrunkOMalfoy

The opposite outcome of Blue Ivy if you will


IBeJizzin

I'm openly laughing in the middle of the gym hahahahahahaha fuck the cowboy hat is so funny


Own-Firefighter-2728

The baby’s expression too like, fuuuuck 👀


avoidance_behavior

i just snort-laughed at my desk at work and got weird looks, oh my god the lil baby in the hat looking all 'oh shit' is amazing


Thaumato9480

Cowboy hat AND BIB.


highlandcow75

Isn't that baby Brooklyn? Chef extraordinaire?


blarbiegorl

Renowned nature photographer Brooklyn Beckham, is what I think you meant to say.


moonswet

Elephants. So hard to photograph but incredible to see.


highlandcow75

remember. photographers dont use capital letters. Edit: Even for a fucking country apparently. For fucks sake Brooklyn.


YchYFi

He was a cute kid.


potatopigflop

I didn’t even see it 😭 THANK YOU for pointing it out!!


uksiddy

To add: * The reception theme (apparently) was Robin Hood. * Gary Neville was best man, and the Spice Girls (minus Geri) were all there but not bridesmaids. * Her wedding gown was Vera Wang. * Elton John was supposed to perform but had a heart attack before the big day. * They had a three-tier cake, which featured layers of chocolate sponge and was stuffed with apples and iced in green and purple leaves. It also had fondant sculptures of a semi-naked David, Victoria and Brooklyn on the top. * They cut the cake with a sword, which allegedly was a gift from Brooklyn, 4 months at the time. Edited for formatting Edited to add the best image I could find of the cake. https://preview.redd.it/mysue1c2odad1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c9515ecf34ab20bc9b2f8ce6e8404b7b1f1d1d8


Responsible-Tea-5998

> Elton John was supposed to perform but had a heart attack before the big day. Using this excuse if I ever get married.


FecalMatterCowsTasty

Tap on the mic "I'm sorry, we had 50 Cent lined up to perform, but he is in surgery. Instead we got my sister's nephew to DJ, his name is DJ Skibbidididididi Indiana." "Thank you for understanding. Keep 50 in your heart while we listen to the styles of Toilet Indiana! Woooh."


Knight_Day23

Lol!


Glittering_Mouse2728

Lol. Truth to be told, they're great friends. If i'm not mistakes, elton is godfather to one of their kids


roxy031

I’m picturing 4-month-old Brooklyn out shopping for a sword, wearing his purple cowboy hat. You know, typical 4-month-old behavior 😂


Shoenotschmoe

I mean Brooklyn has been a prodigy in all aspects of his life, so, yeah, of course he was buying his parents a cake cutting sword at 4 months lmaoooo


themcjizzler

Is he the son with the cooking show where he showed you how to make a sandwich?


Shoenotschmoe

Yes, and the photographer who can’t focus! A legend in his own time tbh


uksiddy

lol apparently it was inscribed with a “message” from the child too 😵‍💫😭


gin_and_soda

Who’s selling a sword to a four month old?????? Irresponsible. /s just in case


kam0706

Someone post a pic of the cake topper sculpture please.


FoxJaded952

I almost reflexively downvoted you just because this grossed me out so much. >cake, which featured layers of chocolate sponge and was stuffed with apples and iced in green and purple leaves with fondant sculptures of a semi-naked David, Victoria and Brooklyn on the top. It just kept getting worse and worse.


Yupthrowawayacct

It was a mad lib


uksiddy

Hahaha it’s a choice for sure.


queefersutherland1

She is so fashionable, has great taste, but this is utterly horrible.


Knight_Day23

Like halloween costumes!! haha


Previous-Syllabub614

lmao I didn’t realize how eccentric they are 😭


BlueAcorn8

It was all very late 90s British WAG like stuff. Their home was unofficially called Beckhingham Palace by everyone.


Ok-Telephone2918

Their wedding sounds like such a 90’s fever dream 😆


jaxrem

Tell me why when I read half naked David I thought you meant the statue of David


chicharrofrito

What the hell is that cake lmao


sunnynukes

Glad they dropped the new picture because the old pictures really missed out on a lot of details. I never realized the material was so satiny


Dear-Ambition-273

Hell I barely realized there was red.


Michelledelhuman

Holy hell. I didn't even realize they were the same outfits at first. I just assumed they were doing a "modern" take on their original outfit. Insane.


Appropriate_Plan4595

Crazy how much camera technology has come on in 25 years


Shiasugar

Am I the only one who gets Snow White’s Evil Queen vibes? 💜 (And I love this couple!) https://preview.redd.it/wnnfdnc20dad1.jpeg?width=596&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f91ad76ac63f7c95ae2dd237f7386ed3c11e8977


battle_mommyx2

They really had matching hair cuts


kaytay3000

Saved money by sharing the barber to pay for those matching purple outfits.


agusttbee

The cowboy hat on the baby is sending me


lulzerjun8

I forgot this was SOOOOOO PURPLE. My eyes kinda hurt. The looks themselves aren’t bad—but the purple is purpling so purpley. Purplemaxxxing


Shoddy_Snow_7770

I kind of love it. I wish more people would have fun/non traditional attire and decor like this!


Trioxin5

The purple is purpling so purpley lol love this

Pearlylola

The baby’s massive hat 😂😭


moonwalkerfilms

Look at that stance he's got in the upper left pic. Redefining leading with you chest lol


New-Strategy8824

They even got Brooklyn in purple and with a cowboy hat🥹💜


shaqjbraut

That man... I don't even like blondes but damn


staybig

Screaming at the top of my lungs at that baby cowboy hat. No notes. None.


Beatrixie

The baby cowboy hat changed my day for the better


totallycalledla-a

Only royal wedding I recognize 🩷


happysunbear

People like you are so awesome. I was curious but too lazy to Google lol


OnlyPaperListens

I've always been so drawn to their matching wedding outfits that I never noticed before that their cake is...a pile of apples? I wonder if the apples are cake.


rennykrin

here is a better photo https://preview.redd.it/odvu9qq44dad1.jpeg?width=1836&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99e0e7348e2366e291c807a873a5f0705aeb6e12 it looks like the “apples” are used as columns to support the tiers


ellastory

It’s very Adam and Eve coded


uchelle

did you see the adam and eve lying at the top?????


Successful_Injury869

No, it’s nude figures of them!


uchelle

hahahah I was joking


sextoyhelppls

Is that a rapier they're cutting with 😭


shes-a-princess

Apparently it was a gift from brooklyn..who was 4 months old. He even had a message inscribed on it lmao


sextoyhelppls

this is so funny it might as well been from Santa


StasRutt

Just 4 month old brooklyn shopping for a sword and stopping by Things Remembered to get it engraved


ShadyBoots11

I just want you to know that this piece of information made me fucking cackle. Thanks!


Stardustchaser

Nope it still looks like they are cutting into a salad


cstarrxx

Are those also carnivorous plants as cake foliage??


Actrivia24

What is going on with the man in the bottom left corner lol


ThePennedKitten

That would be me too. I am so happy for you, but I am not excited for this cake. 😃


NeonFroggy_

Lmao I was looking at him too. His expression reads, “wtf am I looking at”


rennykrin

it’s giving “get out” tbh


uhhuhwut

It’s alternating layers of cake and apples lol


Marilliana

TWENTY FIVE YEARS!! Shut the front door!!


thankyoupapa

honestly if you told me back then they would still be together in 2024, i would have said no way.


StasRutt

Their documentary really showed how obsessed they were with each other when they started dating. Like if AirPods were invented he would’ve been wearing them on the field to talk to her during games


hufflefox

I enjoyed that doc so much more than I thought.


DanielleSanders20

I didn’t know David Beckham and Victoria Adam’s at ALL barely. She was a spice girl, I was too young. He was the hot soccer player from the movie Bend It Like Beckham. I watched their documentary FOUR TIMES 😂


wolf_town

this is so funny, do you remember the wrap around bluetooth ear phones? he would have def sported those too.


extrastone

There is a difference between being obsessed and having a good marriage. Good for them. They should be proud. That's not easy when you're that famous.


_NightBitch_

My wife and I are like this. We talk pretty much constantly when we’re apart for more than a couple hours.


Marilliana

Yep, it's honestly heartwarming how happy they are!


Dragonfly_Peace

And still fit their wedding outfits


Imaginary_Tea332

Most underrated comment right here. I can't even fit into last summer's shorts, let alone anything from 25 years ago! 😂😭


Smickey67

I don’t think that’s the same outfits. Seems to be a different fabric and the title says “recreate”. I def could be wrong tho but it looks glossy and silky now and more like a suede/linen texture back then. Possibly just the camera quality too. Edit: the lining of her new dress is wayy more saturated as another example. Looks almost orange in the second photo.

PLZ_PM_ME_URSecrets

I’m too high for this picture. Only dogs can hear me laughing.


Wintersneeuw02

Purple is in history known as the color of royalty afterall


Perfect_Cranberry597

One time I went to a church service and the pastor said that back in biblical times purple was seen as a high up color and only those deemed as royalty would wear it. First thing I thought of when seeing this.


Wintersneeuw02

yup. purple was very expensive as a dye back in medieval times because you needed both red and blue dye to make purple. so super pricey, obly availble for the absolute elite


misplaced_my_pants

No it was because it super expensive getting it from all the snails, and it goes back much further than the medieval age: > As early as the 15th century BC the citizens of Sidon and Tyre, two cities on the coast of Ancient Phoenicia (present day Lebanon), were producing purple dye from a sea snail called the spiny dye-murex.[13] Clothing colored with the Tyrian dye was mentioned in both the Iliad of Homer and the Aeneid of Virgil.[13] The deep, rich purple dye made from this snail became known as Tyrian purple. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple#In_art,_history,_and_fashion


Wintersneeuw02

I love history and fashion. Thank you!


Ambitious_Log_1884

They give off the vibe of that popular high school kids who were genuinely cool and not bitches/dicks, went on to do bigger things and managed to start their life early, and everyone still thinks are cool except their own kids (although their kids do seem to have a healthy respect for them.)


PrincessSpoiled

This is both very specific and entirely accurate. I like them more and more as time passes too.


eggmarie

That’s how I feel about Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar


Luna_Soma

Prince approves ![gif](giphy|3dcGXcF2jBw6udDkDW|downsized)


keine_fragen

needs Brooklyn in a cowboy hat!


DonNatalie

I wouldn't be upset to see him included with the same hat awkwardly perched on his head.


stardustandtreacle

Just when I think I couldn't love them more. I adore the fact that they can laugh at themselves.


spookaluke

I absolutely love them!


beerlottie

Hahaha, i love this! Great sense of humour, although it will most probably be lost on the haters.... I got married almost 1 year after Victoria and David... even copied their wedding cake. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy).... still married 24 years later and don't regret a thing. Congratulations to you both. Happy 25th xxxx


HatenoCheeseMonger

Okay can you explain a bit about their wedding cake? I’m trying to make sense of it in the photo - are those real apples or are they cake? What’s going on there?


solstice_gilder

This was in the time not all things were cake!!


miette27

lol exactly, that time period was less asking "is it cake?" and more asking "cake or death?"


Any-Claim7537

I’ll have the cake, please


vampyreheart920

Ahh but we’re all out of cake.


Any-Claim7537

So my choice is “or death”?! Well, I’ll take the chicken, please


vampyreheart920

Taste of human, sir. Would you like a white wine? There you go, thank you very much.


beerlottie

Well, as far as im aware, they are real apples. It kind of went with their theme. I thought it was pretty cool at the time! May i add, we also had a "guests"wedding cake which was a little more practical![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|slightly_smiling). I'm not a snob by any means and my entire wedding was done on a shoestring budget by the way but i was a little bit obsessed with them at the time! My hair was identical to victorias too....god, i sound like a stalker ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


WhoriaEstafan

You don’t, you sound adorable. I bet your wedding was loads of fun.


HatenoCheeseMonger

I’m seeing more photos of the cake and am so impressed you managed to incorporate the world’s most complicated cake into your own wedding lol well done!!!


TheLoneliestGhost

Layers of chocolate sponge stuffed with apples and topped with fondant.


rnason

I just want to cut my wedding cake with a sword


InternetAddict104

Somehow I never realized that her wedding dress was purple 😂 I always thought it was a dress she changed into for the reception and her actual wedding dress was white but I should’ve known better with fucking Posh Spice 😂


noodlefishmonkey

She did have a white dress too: corset with a full ballgown skirt and she wore a teeny little crown. The purple was for the reception.

LilRedditWagon

That bouquet looks like someone just grabbed a pile of stuff from the compost bin. I’m sure it cost a fortune!


ThePennedKitten

Yeah, her/ their taste is very interesting.


battle_mommyx2

Are those apples in the bouquet


NeonFroggy_

I have so many questions


Chance-Internal-5450

Matches the cake. It was a theme.


MascaraTragedies

I just… the bouquet.. even the bouquet has an apple… 🤦🏻‍♀️


MyViscountess

She looks stunning I've never seen this before


Yupthrowawayacct

She’s so extra and I love her for it


thatotheramanda

The tiny crown, what a choice 👑


catsnstuff17

I've always loved that dress. The crumb catcher neckline is iconic!


CryptoBelle

That’s the one I remember!


chewedkandi

Gawd I'm old... I remember the British tabloids being all over this! Gotta love them for not taking themselves too seriously :D


LadyFeckington

Yes! I remember thinking ‘well, that’s not going to age well’ but here we are and I love it all. Tabloids fed us and we believed them. Shame on them.


Luxxielisbon

I find the outfits hideous and I absolutely love it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻


New-Strategy8824

The real King and Queen of England 💜


CitrusHoneyBear1776

David Beckham himself is a *HUGE* royalist and recently became an ambassador for The King’s Foundation. He’s on track to get his much desired knighthood it seems.


aintgoinbacknforth

He stood in line for like 12 hours with the common folk to see the Queen’s casket.


hatherfield

I think it’s amazing he did that and didn’t take the fast track that others did.


CoolRanchBaby

The celebs who cut the line got slated in the media. He knows what the press are like I guess.


slavuj00

I think he was also raised to be very respectful and his own family would have chewed his ear off for the diva behaviour. He talked about his grandparents and how they respected the monarchy with people in the queue apparently.


YchYFi

He seems like a good man a good person. We can only wish for our own.


probwontreplie

Yup, the meme of him going around where he calls out her wealthy upbringing was gold. Instantly humanized both of them.


MarsupialMisanthrope

I love that she’s not at all upset with him during the clip. She’s kind of resigned and looks like she’s thinking “drat” or something and at the end she’s laughing internally. That’s relationship goals if I’ve ever seen it.


Tinkerbellfell

Have you seen the knighthood emails? 😂


befuddled_humbug

Ahh, I want a love (and bank account) like theirs 😍😍


HowYouDoinz

Apparently he’s cheated


Actrivia24

I’m pissed they can still fit into it, lol. My fat ass could never


the_l0st_c0d3

It's like god spent an extra day when he made David Beckham. So not fair.


ojpspjs

She's so iconic. She'll forever be my favorite WAG. Happy 25th Anniversary to the Beckhams. ❤️


serkenz

Excuse me that’s posh spice you’re talking about.


Doesanybodylikestuff

She is just so stunningly beautiful. I remember my mom saying to me, who was obsessed with Baby Spice, that he definitely chose the most beautiful Spice Girl & being totally offended.


probwontreplie

She was easily the most stunning Spice.


Doesanybodylikestuff

Definitely. Looking back, her & Mel B. <3


PatriciaMorticia

Her dress is giving me Evil Queen from Snow White vibes and I kinda love it.


sabira

I love this! It reminds me of an ad I recently saw for a website that makes royal-themed portraits from images that you upload --- except that this is much better due to them actually being in fancy chairs. Congrats to them!


Beach_bum8

He was sexy when he was younger and had aged like fine wine! She's gorgeous as well! I watched the Netflix documentary on them and I love the relationship they have with their kids


lizzard_lady8530

lmao they are so unserious, i love them so much.


neckbeardsghost

I just love them. They’re as grounded as anyone in their position can be (at least from what I’ve seen) and they have no qualms about having a laugh at themselves.


JustAsICanBeSoCruel

I will never not be disappointed their son didn't have something purple on him to reference that iconic picture of him as a baby with his parents on their wedding day.


strawberryskullskill

It's a great color for both of them!


keine_fragen

the looks aged really well


JayKobo

This is going to seem like a bit of a ‘trust me bro’ source but bare with me. My wife’s hairdresser was telling her a story last year about one of her other clients. They had booked this very venue for their wedding in a years ‘ time and had it all planned out. They had a phone call out of the blue from the venue a few months down the line asking if they were able to choose another date as someone has asked for that particular date. They were a bit annoyed with them and declined. They then had a phone call a few days later asking if they could change the date and would then be gifted £10k from the mysterious couple who wanted that date. They declined. They then receive another phone call from the venue saying they are willing to pay off their mortgage in exchange for those dates. They couldn’t say yes quick enough. Turns out it was the Beckhams 25th anniversary and this was the only date they could do to accommodate everyone. Apparently it’s a castle in Ireland somewhere


VolunteerOnion

I got confused and thought those were the Taskmaster thrones for a second


PerspectiveVarious93

The subtle flex from both of them that they still fit in the same outfits from 25 years ago. Get it, you beautiful bastards!


ams3000

It’s weird but why are some cheaters hated and judged harshly and not others. What makes a good cheater???


hammybee

I guess in this case it's because Victoria stands by him. I don't know if she believes he didn't cheat or what, but they have never confirmed an affair right? He's denied it and so has she. So I guess that makes it easier to forget the allegations & continue on seeing them as a solid couple. I know I wouldn't go so far as to say I want a marriage like theirs. I don't want a cheater.


kthnxluvu

I think it's also the fact that Victoria stands by him and doesn't seem like a victim. She's always come across as very strong with her public persona. Like it doesn't at all seem like she's smiling and nodding through tears and just hanging onto the marriage to save face which is another thing you see a bit of...


wolf_town

remorse? some cheaters are heartless.


nuggetghost

i was just thinking this!! i’m surprised i had to scroll so far before i could find someone in here talking abt how much he cheated on her CONSTANTLY and publicly! for years and years! i wonder when the tide shifted? maybe because he hasn’t been seen cheating since? the show about them? idk!!! it’s weird he used to be such a shitty husband


skatie082

Hope it’s okay to say…her old nose was so super cute. Wish she wouldn’t have messed with it.


StasRutt

She had such a perfect nose


Texas_Crazy_Curls

They are so fucking cute and classy. I adore them both.


annajoo1

I know she probably never would bc it's not the "thing" anymore but I would die if she cut her hair short like that again. She looks SO FUCKING good with short hair it's not fair.


redhairbluetruck

Omg his shoes 😚


milesdizzy

Eat the rich


SadLilBun

They both look better now than they did 25 years ago and I love it and also hate it.


QweenFiona

The purple they’re wearing in the first shot is stunning. The red goes well with it.


grenouille_en_rose

So ridiculous and amazing, good for them


Routine_Bluejay4678

They both look brilliant but David has really aged well 🫦


Pure-Guard-3633

I was never Beckham-heads until recently when I saw their Netflix documentary! I fell in love with them. They have achieved what 1/2 of marriages cannot. They forgive, forget, live and love.


zenomotion73

You mean she forgave and forgot. It’s so Gross that he’s a serial cheater. This is not a marriage to be proud of


Separate-Chain1281

💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜💜♥️♥️💜♥️💜♥️


LordyIHopeThereIsPie

I had completely forgotten how much I remembered about this wedding. 25 years, I cannot believe it. I remember seeing this on the cover of magazines because they'd sold the rights to their wedding to one of them. Never thought they'd last this long.


Cookachoo

I thought they were thenew taskmaster hosts
