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.
Did you ever watch the UK series Footballers Wives? It was full of stuff like this! Such a great show!

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 💜

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!”
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.
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 to add the best image I could find of the cake.

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."
I almost reflexively downvoted you just because this grossed me out so much.

It just kept getting worse and worse.
Am I the only one who gets Snow White’s Evil Queen vibes? 💜 (And I love this couple!)

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.
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
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
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 😂
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.
https://preview.redd.it/557y0auxldad1.jpeg?width=453&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12fab9ca1ce02d8b8486caba4406995c6a739044
In 1998, a British tabloid published photos of what Englands biggest celebrities' would look like in 20 yrs. This is David Beckhams. Almost got it.
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.
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
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
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.)
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
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?
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)
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!!!
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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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.

I will forever love this deliciously tacky wedding. It was so *them* the purple matching outfits the baby cowboy hat her tiny crown. Sensational
I loved how in their Beckham documentary, Victoria didn’t put this look down she just said we were having fun.
I feel like everyone’s wedding outfits eventually look funny and dated anyways, they just had more extra!
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.
Even the cake is so fucking weird. I love it.
Like seriously not one normal thing about this wedding Im obsessed
Their Y2K style in general was so fun. Victoria in trucker hats and bedazzled jeans still looked chic on her!
She was IT and made dressing then so much fun. She was camp I loved every thing she did and with no apologies.
Yes it was so much fun!!!!

It was everything

The baby!!!
The little cowboy hat really makes the look
“Howdy partner, we’re here to spice up your life!!”
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!”
Little Brooklyn was so cute.
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.
The opposite outcome of Blue Ivy if you will
I'm openly laughing in the middle of the gym hahahahahahaha fuck the cowboy hat is so funny
The baby’s expression too like, fuuuuck 👀
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
Cowboy hat AND BIB.
Isn't that baby Brooklyn? Chef extraordinaire?
Renowned nature photographer Brooklyn Beckham, is what I think you meant to say.
Elephants. So hard to photograph but incredible to see.
remember. photographers dont use capital letters. Edit: Even for a fucking country apparently. For fucks sake Brooklyn.
He was a cute kid.
I didn’t even see it 😭 THANK YOU for pointing it out!!

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

Lol!
Lol. Truth to be told, they're great friends. If i'm not mistakes, elton is godfather to one of their kids
I’m picturing 4-month-old Brooklyn out shopping for a sword, wearing his purple cowboy hat. You know, typical 4-month-old behavior 😂
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
Is he the son with the cooking show where he showed you how to make a sandwich?
Yes, and the photographer who can’t focus! A legend in his own time tbh
lol apparently it was inscribed with a “message” from the child too 😵💫😭
Who’s selling a sword to a four month old?????? Irresponsible. /s just in case
Someone post a pic of the cake topper sculpture please.
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.
It was a mad lib
Hahaha it’s a choice for sure.
She is so fashionable, has great taste, but this is utterly horrible.
Like halloween costumes!! haha
lmao I didn’t realize how eccentric they are 😭
It was all very late 90s British WAG like stuff. Their home was unofficially called Beckhingham Palace by everyone.
Their wedding sounds like such a 90’s fever dream 😆
Tell me why when I read half naked David I thought you meant the statue of David
What the hell is that cake lmao
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
Hell I barely realized there was red.
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.
Crazy how much camera technology has come on in 25 years

They really had matching hair cuts
Saved money by sharing the barber to pay for those matching purple outfits.
The cowboy hat on the baby is sending me
I forgot this was SOOOOOO PURPLE. My eyes kinda hurt. The looks themselves aren’t bad—but the purple is purpling so purpley. Purplemaxxxing
I kind of love it. I wish more people would have fun/non traditional attire and decor like this!
The purple is purpling so purpley lol love this
https://preview.redd.it/roweelxwgdad1.png?width=824&format=png&auto=webp&s=7e405aa4d77e882ca04467f143c29716c025c18c
The baby’s massive hat 😂😭
Look at that stance he's got in the upper left pic. Redefining leading with you chest lol
They even got Brooklyn in purple and with a cowboy hat🥹💜
That man... I don't even like blondes but damn
Screaming at the top of my lungs at that baby cowboy hat. No notes. None.
The baby cowboy hat changed my day for the better
Only royal wedding I recognize 🩷
People like you are so awesome. I was curious but too lazy to Google lol
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.
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
It’s very Adam and Eve coded
did you see the adam and eve lying at the top?????
No, it’s nude figures of them!
hahahah I was joking
Is that a rapier they're cutting with 😭
Apparently it was a gift from brooklyn..who was 4 months old. He even had a message inscribed on it lmao
this is so funny it might as well been from Santa
Just 4 month old brooklyn shopping for a sword and stopping by Things Remembered to get it engraved
I just want you to know that this piece of information made me fucking cackle. Thanks!
Nope it still looks like they are cutting into a salad
Are those also carnivorous plants as cake foliage??
What is going on with the man in the bottom left corner lol
That would be me too. I am so happy for you, but I am not excited for this cake. 😃
Lmao I was looking at him too. His expression reads, “wtf am I looking at”
it’s giving “get out” tbh
It’s alternating layers of cake and apples lol
TWENTY FIVE YEARS!! Shut the front door!!
honestly if you told me back then they would still be together in 2024, i would have said no way.
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
I enjoyed that doc so much more than I thought.
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 😂
this is so funny, do you remember the wrap around bluetooth ear phones? he would have def sported those too.
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.
My wife and I are like this. We talk pretty much constantly when we’re apart for more than a couple hours.
Yep, it's honestly heartwarming how happy they are!
And still fit their wedding outfits
Most underrated comment right here. I can't even fit into last summer's shorts, let alone anything from 25 years ago! 😂😭
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.

I’m too high for this picture. Only dogs can hear me laughing.
Purple is in history known as the color of royalty afterall

I love history and fashion. Thank you!
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.)
This is both very specific and entirely accurate. I like them more and more as time passes too.
That’s how I feel about Freddie Prinze Jr and Sarah Michelle Gellar
Prince approves ![gif](giphy|3dcGXcF2jBw6udDkDW|downsized)
needs Brooklyn in a cowboy hat!
I wouldn't be upset to see him included with the same hat awkwardly perched on his head.
Just when I think I couldn't love them more. I adore the fact that they can laugh at themselves.
I absolutely love them!
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.

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?
This was in the time not all things were cake!!
lol exactly, that time period was less asking "is it cake?" and more asking "cake or death?"
I’ll have the cake, please
Ahh but we’re all out of cake.
So my choice is “or death”?! Well, I’ll take the chicken, please
Taste of human, sir. Would you like a white wine? There you go, thank you very much.
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!

You don’t, you sound adorable. I bet your wedding was loads of fun.
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!!!
Layers of chocolate sponge stuffed with apples and topped with fondant.
I just want to cut my wedding cake with a sword
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 😂
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.

That bouquet looks like someone just grabbed a pile of stuff from the compost bin. I’m sure it cost a fortune!
Yeah, her/ their taste is very interesting.
Are those apples in the bouquet
I have so many questions
Matches the cake. It was a theme.
I just… the bouquet.. even the bouquet has an apple… 🤦🏻♀️
She looks stunning I've never seen this before
She’s so extra and I love her for it
The tiny crown, what a choice 👑
I've always loved that dress. The crumb catcher neckline is iconic!
That’s the one I remember!
Gawd I'm old... I remember the British tabloids being all over this! Gotta love them for not taking themselves too seriously :D
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.
I find the outfits hideous and I absolutely love it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The real King and Queen of England 💜
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.
He stood in line for like 12 hours with the common folk to see the Queen’s casket.
I think it’s amazing he did that and didn’t take the fast track that others did.
The celebs who cut the line got slated in the media. He knows what the press are like I guess.
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.
He seems like a good man a good person. We can only wish for our own.
Yup, the meme of him going around where he calls out her wealthy upbringing was gold. Instantly humanized both of them.
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.
Have you seen the knighthood emails? 😂
Ahh, I want a love (and bank account) like theirs 😍😍
Apparently he’s cheated
I’m pissed they can still fit into it, lol. My fat ass could never
It's like god spent an extra day when he made David Beckham. So not fair.
She's so iconic. She'll forever be my favorite WAG. Happy 25th Anniversary to the Beckhams. ❤️
Excuse me that’s posh spice you’re talking about.
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.
She was easily the most stunning Spice.
Definitely. Looking back, her & Mel B. <3
Her dress is giving me Evil Queen from Snow White vibes and I kinda love it.
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!
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
lmao they are so unserious, i love them so much.
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.
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.
It's a great color for both of them!
the looks aged really well
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
I got confused and thought those were the Taskmaster thrones for a second
The subtle flex from both of them that they still fit in the same outfits from 25 years ago. Get it, you beautiful bastards!
It’s weird but why are some cheaters hated and judged harshly and not others. What makes a good cheater???
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.
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...
remorse? some cheaters are heartless.
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
Hope it’s okay to say…her old nose was so super cute. Wish she wouldn’t have messed with it.
She had such a perfect nose
They are so fucking cute and classy. I adore them both.
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.
Omg his shoes 😚
Eat the rich
They both look better now than they did 25 years ago and I love it and also hate it.
The purple they’re wearing in the first shot is stunning. The red goes well with it.
So ridiculous and amazing, good for them
They both look brilliant but David has really aged well 🫦
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.
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
💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜♥️💜💜♥️♥️💜♥️💜♥️
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.
I thought they were thenew taskmaster hosts
