Victoria and David Beckham celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in a way that only they could—by taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane and sharing it with the world. The couple, who tied the knot on July 4, 1999, marked the milestone with heartfelt Instagram posts that showcased their enduring love and iconic style.
Victoria, 50, kicked off the celebration by sharing a series of photos from their wedding day. Her post included a sweet snapshot of her and David testing out their reception thrones, a moment that captured the joy and excitement of their big day. She also shared a photo of herself beaming on the throne, clearly thrilled with the luxurious setup. The images even documented the transportation of these thrones via plane, adding a touch of extravagance to the nostalgic trip.
“@DavidBeckham and I testing our iconic thrones for size,” Victoria wrote in the caption. “Clearly, I loved mine from the start!”
Another photo showed a young Brooklyn, their eldest son, sitting on David’s lap during a private plane ride. The image also featured David’s mother Sandra and Victoria’s siblings, Christian and Louise, making it a family affair. “Flying in style,” Victoria captioned the photo. “Plenty of leg room as you can see 😂.”
Victoria’s post continued with a cheeky photo of David, shirtless and writing his vows at a kitchen table. She humorously noted that he was “looking very concentrated!” The carousel of images also included Victoria’s dress fittings, featuring her Vera Wang satin, strapless corseted ballgown and her iconic purple reception dress. She even shared a snapshot of their wedding cake, complete with naked fondant toppers, adding a playful touch to the memories.
David, 49, also took to Instagram to celebrate the occasion. He shared a montage of photos from their wedding reception and included a clip of Victoria fitting into her purple dress 25 years later. “We still got it 💜 😆 @victoriabeckham Love You 💜,” he wrote in the caption. He also posted a series of Instagram Stories that commemorated the day, showcasing the couple’s preparation for the wedding and their son Brooklyn’s involvement.
The couple had already set the stage for their anniversary celebration with an epic post on July 3. They slipped back into their iconic purple wedding reception outfits for an Instagram post, captioned, “Look what we found…” The bold purple suit and body-hugging dress with floral accents looked exactly the same as the Antonio Berardi outfits they wore on their big day in 1999.
To modernize the looks for their 25th anniversary, Victoria wore silver stilettos that laced up her calves and let her long brown hair down, a contrast to her short haircut from her wedding day. David, on the other hand, sported many more tattoos and far fewer highlights. He completed his suit with matching purple shoes and an affectionate look for his wife.
The couple, who share four children—Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12—originally met at a football match when David was playing for Manchester United and Victoria was still Posh Spice. They got engaged a year later and wed in a lavish ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle in Dublin, Ireland.
During a May 2024 appearance on Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett’s SmartLess podcast, David shared the secret to their long marriage: leaning on each other through the good and bad. “Of course, when you’re with someone for that amount of time, of course you have your ups and downs, everybody knows that and at the end of the day we were lucky because we had each other at those moments,” he said.
Victoria and David’s celebration didn’t stop at Instagram posts. They also attended the Netflix ‘Beckham’ UK Premiere at The Curzon Mayfair on October 3, 2023, in London, further showcasing their enduring love and partnership.
In addition to their anniversary, Victoria celebrated her 50th birthday in March with a grand party attended by her former Spice Girls bandmates Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, and Geri Halliwell. The quintet even danced along to their 1997 hit “Stop,” a rare reunion captured by David in an Instagram video. “Best night ever!” Victoria wrote at the time, sharing the clip on social media. “Happy Birthday to me! I love you all so much!”
The Beckhams’ 25th anniversary celebration was a testament to their enduring love and iconic status. From slipping back into their purple wedding reception outfits to sharing heartfelt posts and attending high-profile events, they proved that their bond is as strong as ever. Their journey from a football match to a 25-year marriage filled with ups and downs, four children, and countless memories is a story of love, resilience, and mutual support.
