LOVE STORY: Man Utd legend David Beckham and wife Victoria put back into their iconic purple wedding gowns and sit on THOSE thrones to celebrate 25 years after tying the knot in a lavish £1M ceremony

Victoria and David Beckham stepped back into their now-iconic wedding attire for a playful Instagram photo ahead of their 25th anniversary on Thursday.

The designer, 50, and professional player, 49, married in Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in 1999 in a grandiose ceremony that cost about £1 million.

The pair wore their identical purple gowns from the reception and perched on their infamous gold thrones.

Ageless Victoria looked stunning in the Antonio Berardi gown, which featured a floral ruffled top and daring split, and she paired it with quirky heels.

Meanwhile, David looked great in his suit and matching suede shoes, and he smiled broadly as he grasped his wife’s hand.

Victoria, 50, and David Beckham, 49, stepped back into their now-iconic wedding attire for a playful Instagram photo ahead of their 25th anniversary on Thursday.

Not only did the duo wear their matching purple gowns from the reception, but they also sat on their renowned gold thrones.

They married in Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in a grandiose ceremony that cost nearly £1 million (seen with baby boy Brooklyn).

What are your thoughts on Victoria and David’s purple outfits?

The couple, who have sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 12, captioned the combined image, ‘Look what we found’.

David had previously joked about the look during a 2017 appearance on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs. I even had a purple top hat; what was I thinking? I looked like the men from Dumb and Dumber.’

In the comments section, David’s mother Sandra gushed: ’25 years and you both still look wonderful, special memories’.

Joanne, his younger sister, remarked, ‘Look as good now as you did back then, iconic’.

Victoria wore more reserved champagne. The bride wore a Vera Wang gown to the wedding, and the groom dressed in a white suit.

During a 2021 interview on Jimmy Fallon, she explained the clothing change, saying, “It just seemed like a really good idea at the time, you know?”

‘It actually did. I believe it was naiveté at the time; we knew nothing about fashion.

Before adding, “We were just having fun with it, which, to be honest with you, is kind of how it should be.”

Not only did the pair wear their matching purple gowns from the reception, but they also sat atop their infamous gold thrones (seen in 1999).

Their magnificent Irish venue sat on 560 acres and dated back to the 18th century, as organist Peregrine Armstrong-Jones told OK! ‘Victoria wanted somewhere incredibly quiet and unusual, somewhere lush and green’

Ageless Victoria put on a very leggy display in the Antonio Berardi gown, which sported a floral ruffled neckline and daring split that she paired with eccentric strappy heels (R in 1999).

Meanwhile, David looked great in his suit, complete with matching suede shoes, and flashed a broad grin while holding his wife’s hand.

The parents dressed their baby son Brooklyn, now 25, in matching purple, complete with a cowboy hat.

The power couple spared no expense for the big day back, hiring Bentley’s Entertainments, the organisers of Elton John’s birthday and Princess Anne’s 40th, to plan the highly publicised entertainment celebration.

Their magnificent Irish venue sat on 560 acres and dated back to the 18th century, as organist Peregrine Armstrong-Jones told OK! ‘Victoria wanted somewhere incredibly quiet and unusual, somewhere leafy and green’.

She had hired Simon Lycett, who worked on the 1990s rom-com Four Weddings And A Funeral, to design the floral arrangements, which included fresh apples punctured and dotted around the castle to release the aroma of fruit.

David arrived in a £230,000 Bentley Azure wearing a cream suit made by Timothy Everett, while Victoria wore a Vera Wang dress and drove in a Bentley Arnage.

She drew attention in a diamond-and-gold crown custom-made by Slim Barrett, who had previously designed accessories for Princess Diana.

Despite being covered as part of a lucrative magazine agreement, Victoria insists the wedding was not as extravagant as it portrayed.
