Victoria Adams, as she was then, attended a Manchester United charity football match back in 1997, both in the height of their career success.

Adams reportedly said; "I didn't really know who he was. I was never into football." (Wikipedia)

However, they seemed to bond quite quickly after that according to Adams: "He's got more personality than people think and he's very deep and spiritual. He always knows how to dress, that was part of his appeal originally. We've got matching dogs, matching watches, similar wardrobes, matching Jags. I know it's tacky, but it makes me laugh." (IMDB)

Coined 'Posh and Becks' by the media, their relationship caused quite a stir. The couple dated for just over a year and he proposed to her on 24th January 1998 in a restaurant in Chestnut, England.

They married at Lutterellstown Castle in Ireland, costing around half a million, with an unsurprising amount of coverage from the press. Gary Neville who was previously Beckham's flatmate was best man and Brooklyn, their son, was the ring bearer.

OK! magazine had an exclusive on the wedding, however the press still managed to take a few snaps of them sitting on their golden thrones.

In 1999, they bought their first home in Hertfordshire, estimated at around 7.5 million- which was later called 'Beckingham Palace' by the newspapers.

They have since had 3 more children: sons Romeo and Cruz and daughter, Harper. Elton John is godfather to Romeo and Brooklyn and their godmother is Elizabeth Hurley.

Whatever the press has to say about the couple- it seems that their love will always be strong.

"I like Victoria for herself, not for nothing else. I'd like her if she worked in Tesco. People can say what they like. But me and Victoria will always stay together as husband and wife." (IMDB)

Happy Anniversary David and Victoria!
