Victoria and David Beckham don’t do anything casually. Case in point: their Instagram posts celebrating their 25th anniversary.

The couple, who got married on July 4, 1999, shared separate heartfelt posts to one another on July 4. Victoria, 50, shared a series of photos from the couple’s wedding celebrations and prep all those years ago. In her Instagram caption, she detailed what all the images showcased — with cheeky comments.

The former Spice Girl’s post began with a sweet photo of her and her then husband-to-be as they gave their reception thrones a whirl. In another photo, Victoria is seen beaming widely for the camera as she sits on the throne ahead of the wedding. She also shared a couple of photos documenting how they transported the luxe chairs via plane to the celebration.

“@DavidBeckham and I testing our iconic thrones for size,” she wrote in the caption. “Clearly, I loved mine from the start!

The fashion designer also shared a sweet photo taken on a private plane when their now 25-year-old Brooklyn was still small enough to sit on his dad’s lap. In the snap, David, 49, his mother Sandra and Victoria’s brother and sister, Christian and Louise, are all onboard as well.

“Flying in style,” she wrote. “Plenty of leg room as you can see 😂.”

She also shared a cheeky photo of David sitting shirtless at a kitchen table, writing his vows on a notepad, and she joked in the caption that he was “looking very concentrated!”

The carousel continued with photos of Victoria in her dress fittings, including her Vera Wang satin, strapless corseted ballgown and her iconic purple reception dress.

Along with sharing photos preparing for their big day, she included a snapshot of the couple’s wedding cake.

“Who could forget that cake and those naked fondant toppers?! 🤣,” she wrote in the caption.

David shared his own celebratory post, including a montage of photos from their wedding reception. He also included in a clip of Victoria fitting into her purple dress 25 years later.

“We still got it 💜 😆 @victoriabeckham Love You 💜,” he wrote in the caption.

In addition to sharing the video, he posted a series of Instagram Stories commemorating the day, showing off the couple’s preparation for the wedding, along with their son Brooklyn’s prep.

These posts follow the already epic post that the couple shared on July 3 where the two of them slipped back into their iconic purple wedding reception outfits for an Instagram post.

“Look what we found…” the couple wrote on Instagram.

It’s hard to say whether or not it’s the original outfits, but the bold purple suit and body-hugging dress with floral accents look exactly the same as the Antonio Berardi looks that they rocked for their big day in 1999.

To modernize the looks for their 25th anniversary, Victoria wore silver stilettos that laced up her calves and wore her long brown hair down — a contrast to her short haircut from her wedding day.

David, on the other hand, is rocking many more tattoos in his updated photo — and far fewer highlights. Other than that, his styling is quite similar. He completed his suit with matching purple shoes and an affectionate look for his wife.

The couple, who share four children, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, 25, Romeo Beckham, 21, Cruz Beckham, 19, and Harper Beckham, 12, originally met at a football match (when David was playing for Manchester United and Victoria was still Posh Spice), got engaged a year later and wed in 1999 in Ireland.

During a May 2024 appearance on Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett’s SmartLess podcast, David shared the secret to his 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.
