David and Victoria Beckham share epic purple wedding photos in gushing anniversary posts

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have paid tribute to each other with some incredible 90s throwbacks as they celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary today.

The football legend exchanged vows with the former Spice Girl on 4 July 1999 at a star-studded, lavish ceremony in Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland.

Posh and Becks were already parents to son Brooklyn, who was born just a few months earlier, and famous faces including Victoria's Spice Girl pals Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Melanie Chisholm attended the wedding.

Posting on Instagram on Tuesday, David shared a sweet snap of him and Victoria in the early days of their relationship, posing in a pub with their dogs.

"On this day 4.7.99 24 years and counting. To the best wife , mummy & drinking partner (most of the time) Happy Anniversary love u so much," he wrote.

He was inundated with messages of congratulations from his 80 million followers, including famous friends Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, former England defender Gary Neville, and designer Kim Jones.

Gary, who was reportedly David's best man at the wedding, wrote: “Happy Anniversary to both of you and all my love.”

Eva commented: “Happy anniversary to my favorite couple in the world!” while British designer Kim added: “Love you both.”

Victoria, 49, posted a video of their wedding day on Instagram, showing when they cut a cake with a sword - a gift from their baby son Brooklyn - and wore matching vibrant purple outfits as well-dressed guests watched on.

The huge cake was decorated with green foliage and fruit, topped with figures of Victoria, David and Brooklyn, and featured one layer of fruit cake, a vanilla sponge and carrot cake.

“4.7.99 24 years ago. I love you so much @‌DavidBeckham,” she captioned the clip, which shows her and David kissing after cutting the cake with the specially made sword.

Some of the famous guests can also be spotted in the video, with David’s former teammate, Peter Schmeichel, seen clapping as the newlyweds cut the cake.

David and Victoria share four children – Brooklyn, 24, Romeo, 20, Cruz, 18, and Harper, 11 - and their wedding has gone down in history as one of the most iconic celebrity weddings.

The couple had to get special permission from the Archbishop of Dublin to marry in Ireland, and Victoria reportedly chose the castle as the venue because it had high stone walls surrounding the estate.

She opted for a stunning Vera Wang ivory gown as she walked down the aisle, while David opted for a cream suit to match with their baby son Brooklyn, who was sleeping in his dad’s arms as the couple exchanged vows.

David has since revealed they renewed their vows in an intimate ceremony at their former Hertfordshire home, dubbed Beckingham Palace, back in 2006, with only six guests - including their sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz - in attendance.
