One that caught the eye of her fans who are invested in the former Spice Girl's interior design choices will be an unexpected snap of the former Manchester United player in his modest kitchen where he can be seen writing his wedding vows.

Among the couple's family was an array of high-profile guests including Victoria's Spice Girls bandmates Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, and Geri Halliwell-Horner, as well as David’s Manchester United teammates - Gary Neville, Dwight Yorke, and Ryan Giggs.

The Beckhams' home portfolio

The kitchen which provided the backdrop for David's vow-writing sessions is a far cry from his current home portfolio. The doting dad and his 90s icon wife not only own a luxe £31 million townhouse in Holland Park, but a deluxe £6 million farmhouse in the Cotswolds.
