- David Beckham’s new Netflix documentary is breaking the internet, but in the 90s, he and Victoria were already British celeb royalty, with the tabloids dubbing them as Posh and Becks when they married
- The power couple set a record for the most expensive celeb shoot ever, selling the exclusive rights to photographs of their wedding to British magazine OK! for US$1.2 million
David Beckham and his wife Victoria Beckham got married almost 25 years ago – and they remain as famous now as they were then, especially with the release of Netflix’s Beckham docuseries.
When they tied the knot, “Posh and Becks” – as the UK tabloids dubbed them at the time – were both enjoying their first wave of success.
Victoria, then 25, had seen her girl group Spice Girls land their eighth No 1 UK single the year before, while 24-year-old David’s football team had won all three major UK tournaments in the most recent season.
The couple stated in Beckham that they crossed paths in 1997 in the Manchester United players’ lounge after a match. They both “fancied” each other immediately, leading them to enter a relationship.
Here’s a look back at their extravagant wedding day, which elevated them to British celebrity royalty and has gone down in history as peak 90s.
