David and Victoria Beckham celebrate 20th wedding anniversary with throwback photos
David Beckham and Victoria Beckham are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary.
The pair began dating in 1997 when it was Victoria Adams, known as a member of the Spice Girls, one of the biggest pop groups of the time, who was the more famous of the couple.
They were quickly dubbed ‘Posh and Becks’ due to the ‘Posh Spice’ moniker that Victoria adopted as part of her music career by the media, who were glued to their every move.
Despite only dating for a few months, they were rapidly engaged and married at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. While the media was successfully kept at an arm’s length from the wedding, OK! Magazine secured exclusive rights for photographs, with the reported £1 million ($1.25m) deal underlining how marketable the couple were at the time.
The wedding was a lavish affair, with the couple pictured on golden thrones wearing crowns, and Victoria’s dress styled by Vera Wang. Indeed, the reception itself is estimated to have cost £500,000.
On Thursday, David’s posted several pictures from their wedding, the 2014 Met Gala and of the couple with their four children.
“WOW 20 years, look what we created,” the former professional footballer wrote in the caption. “Love you so much.”
Victoria, meanwhile, shared a video compilation of throwback pictures on Instagram, writing in the caption: “20 years today. I love you so much xxxxx Kisses x @davidbeckham.”
