David and Victoria Beckham have recreated their iconic throne wedding scene to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.
The couple shared photos on Instagram, dressed in the matching purple ensembles they wore as their second outfit on the big day back in 1999.
They wrote: “Look what we found…”, with David adding in a second post, “Yep, still got it! Can’t believe it’s been 25 years and they still fit!”
The former England footballer and Spice Girl married on 4 July 1999 in Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland, in front of an intimate audience of 29 guests, followed by a massive star-studded bash.
One of the recreated photos showed them sitting in the crushed-velvet purple thrones that featured on their wedding day – and which quickly became part of 90s pop culture history.
They had originally worn the satin purple outfits 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 suit.
For the wedding itself, Victoria wore a champagne colour Vera Wang gown, 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 out 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 back to when I decided to wear a purple suit, and I don’t know when that happened. I think I just took Victoria’s lead on it, but what were we thinking?”
The couple celebrated Victoria’s 50th birthday in April with a Spice Girls reunion.
David sparked a social media frenzy 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 might get back together.

Two of the biggest stars of the 90s, the couple first started dating in 1997 and got engaged the following year.

They have gone on to become somewhat of a brand, with David branching into business after his sporting and modelling career, and Victoria creating her own fashion line.
The couple have four children together, aspiring photographer and cook Brooklyn, 25, footballer and model Romeo, 21, musician and model Cruz, 19, and their daughter Harper, who is 12.
