1. The couple had a four-month-old baby
Victoria and David's first son Brooklyn was born in March 1999, and by the time they walked down the aisle, he was just shy of four months. Bravo to the new parents for even being able to function let alone look flawless. Baby Brooklyn even acted as the couple's adorable ring bearer!

It was clear from her days in the Spice Girls that Posh was the diva of the group, and that Princess persona shone through when she decided to wear a crown-like tiara on her big day. The 18K-gold piece, designed by Slim Barrett, glistened in the pictures against her dark locks.

3. Victoria Beckham rocked a pixie haircut
This fashionista has had an array of hairstyles over the years (as has husband David), but for her wedding day, she had a short hairdo which she styled with texture and a choppy fringe. Many brides grow their hair for their big day, but we respect Victoria's trailblazing look.

Choosing to shun tradition, the bride opted against pure white for her wedding day, and her Vera Wang ballgown was in a luxurious champagne shade. The elegant design with sculpted neckline was made from the finest Clerici Duchess satin.
5. They both had an outfit change
Although it is quite commonplace now for the bride to switch up her look for the evening do, the Beckhams both decided to have a makeover for their star-studded reception. They emerged head-to-toe in purple, and we still can't get over it.

9. The Beckhams had their own flag
Once they were happily married, a flag was raised above the castle to mark the occasion. It read: V.B.D, representing Victoria, Brooklyn, and David.
10. The newlyweds released doves
The Beckhams made it into a true fairytale affair by releasing doves into the Irish skies during their ceremony. The doves are said to symbolise harmony and peace, and the couple has certainly stood the test of time as they will be celebrating their 22-year wedding anniversary in July.
