When David and Victoria Beckham tied the knot in 1999, it was the celebrity wedding of the decade. The stunning ceremony, where the young football star and the Spice Girl greeted guests from the comfort of golden thrones, could have rivalled any royal nuptials.
So it was only fitting that when their eldest son Brooklyn said "I do” last week, he kept up the grand family tradition, pledging his love to actress Nicola Peltz in a $5 million ceremony.
The guest list for the lovebirds' three-day wedding extravaganza was a who's who of the entertainment and sporting world, including Victoria's best friend Eva Longoria, tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and fellow Spice Girls Mel C and Mel B.
For the traditional Jewish ceremony held at Nicola's sprawling family estate in Florida, the bride - whose billionaire investor father Nelson, 79, is said to have footed the bill for the entire wedding - floated down the aisle in the first of three custom Valentino gowns.
“It was a special occasion with lots of personal touches," an insider tells. “Brooklyn and Nicola clearly put a lot of thought into making the day as special as possible. They both looked stunning and very much in love."
In a special nod to his parents' big day, Brooklyn sported a white suit like the a one his father wore 23 years ago to the welcome cocktail party that kicked off his wedding festivities.
The following day, Brooklyn and Nicola exchanged their personal vows and with the blessings complete, the party commenced.
