When Posh married Becks – The original Beckham wedding that dazzled Britain

Diving deep into all things ’90s. Brooklyn and Nicola? Pffft. In 1999 David Beckham and Victoria Adams were the two most stratospherically famous people in Britain – and their wedding blew the nation’s collective mind. How did the Posh’n’Becks nuptials change celebrity culture, the media and the minds of everyday people? Diehard Posh’n’Becks fangirl, Guardian columnist and Mirror veteran Polly Hudson joins Miranda to look at the purple outfits, the bespoke thrones, that (ahem) unusual “VD” monogram and the “private wedding alcoves” that made the People’s Royal Wedding.
