EXCLUSIVE: Two become one - We take a look back when David and Victoria Beckham married at Luttrellstown Castle on 4 July 1999, in a spectacular ceremony exclusively covered by OK!
It was the wedding the whole world had been waiting for – and David Beckham and Victoria Adams’ big day did not disappoint.
Society wedding planner Peregrine Armstrong-Jones had been tasked with organising this momentous event, which was exclusively covered by OK! As the bridal party began to gather at around 3pm, Victoria and David’s fathers reflected on just how much their beloved children had done to make their dreams come true.
The three bridesmaids – Victoria’s sister Louise, then 22, her baby daughter Liberty, plus David’s little niece Georgina – made their first appearance soon after. The two little girls were dressed as woodland flower fairies, with gossamer wings and coronets decorated with ivy and twigs. Louise wore a dress by Stella McCartney for Chloé, with a fitted cream corset decorated with copper and gold flowers and diamonds, and a long cream skirt cut on the bias.
At 4pm it was time for the Bishop of Cork, the Right Reverend Paul Colton, to marry the two stars. Five minutes later than scheduled, Victoria arrived and guests were treated to their first sight of her stunning Vera Wang wedding gown. The strapless champagne-coloured creation took everyone’s breath away.
David, who waited in the folly chapel with his best man, Manchester United team-mate Gary Neville, wore a cream suit by English designer Timothy Everett, his knee-length cream jacket over cream trousers, together with a gold and cream waistcoat, cream shirt and cravat, cream top hat and cream boots by Manolo Blahnik. He also wore a dazzling Cartier diamond bracelet, a gift from his bride.
At just before 5pm, the orchestra struck up Mendelssohn’s Wedding March and the newlyweds walked back up the aisle together. “It was very lovely,” said Victoria’s younger sister, Louise, after the ceremony. The newlyweds changed into purple outfits and sat on thrones in a raised “bridal alcove”, accompanied by a sleepy Brooklyn. His swinging chair, which had been decorated with burgundy velvet and gold ribbon, was nearby.
Hilarious and heartfelt speeches were to follow, with Victoria’s dad recounting the story of how David had seen a member of an all-girl group on television and had said, “That’s the girl I’m going to marry.”
