Summary
July 4, 1999, saw Victoria Adams and David Beckham marry in a 15th-century Dublin castle, in one of the celebrity weddings highlighted for its scale and spectacle.
225 guests attended a ceremony staged with golden thrones on a raised platform, underscoring the couple’s image as modern British royalty.
A crown worth more than $10,000 and a wedding cake topped with a nude sculpture of the pair added to the extravagance.
The Bishop of Cork officiated; an Elton John performance was canceled because of illness, but the celebration still ended with fireworks.
The wedding is cited as a benchmark for lavish celebrity ceremonies as speculation builds over whether Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could surpass it.
