David and Victoria Beckham have recreated their iconic wedding scene to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
The couple shared photos on Instagram wearing the matching purple outfits they wore as second outfits on their big day in 1999, news.sky.com reports.
They wrote: “Look what I found...” and David added in a second post: “Yep, I still have them! I can’t believe it’s been 25 years and they still fit!”
The former England footballer and the Spice Girl tied the knot on July 4, 1999 at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland in front of an intimate audience of 29 guests, followed by a star-studded party.
One of the recreated photos shows them sitting on the purple velvet thrones that appeared on their wedding day – and which quickly became part of ’90s pop culture history.
They originally wore satin purple suits for their first dance, which was to Frank Sinatra’s It Had To Be You.
Baby Brooklyn, who was just four months old at the time, also had a matching purple outfit.
For the actual wedding, Victoria wore a champagne-colored Vera Wang dress, and David opted for a gold and cream suit by British designer Timothy Everest.
Speaking about their purple outfits, which were designed by Antonio Berardi, in their Netflix documentary which was released last year, David seemed keen to distance himself from the decision to wear them.
Spice Girls reunion?
In the series, David said: “I’m trying to think of the moment I decided to wear a purple suit, and I don’t know when that happened. I think we followed Victoria’s example, but what were we thinking?”
The couple celebrated Victoria’s 50th birthday in April with a Spice Girls reunion.
David caused a frenzy on social media when he posted a video of the girl band singing and dancing on stage to their 1998 hit Stop during her birthday party.
He has since denied speculation that the Spice Girls could reunite.
Two of the biggest stars of the ’90s, the couple started dating in 1997 and got engaged the following year.
The Beckham brand
The sprawling mansion they moved to on the border between Hertfordshire and Essex was nicknamed “Beckinham Palace” due to their royal celebrity status.
They became something of a brand, with David going into business after his career as an athlete and model, and Victoria creating her own fashion line.
The couple have four children together: Brooklyn, 25, a photographer and aspiring chef, Romeo, 21, a soccer player and model, Cruz, 19, a musician and model, and their daughter Harper, who is 12.
