Victoria Beckham slams marriage critics as she celebrates 23rd anniversary with David

Victoria Beckham has paid tribute to her beloved husband David on their 23rd wedding anniversary.

The couple - who have since welcomed four children - became husband and wife after tying the knot at a glitzy ceremony at Luttrellstown Castle just outside Dublin.

Over two decades later, Victoria has taken to social media to mark the special day with a heartfelt message to her husband.

The former Spice Girl, 48, shared a sweet photo of herself laughing alongside her 47-year-old husband at his dad Ted's wedding in April.

In the caption, she penned: "They say he isn’t funny, they say I never smile, they said it wouldn’t last.

"Today we celebrate 23 years being married. David you are my everything, I love you so much!!!!"

Meanwhile, David also celebrated the occasion as he posted a throwback video of the couple with comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

The clip was taken for an Ali G sketch on Red Nose Day 2022, where the pair were grilled over their first meeting.

When asked if he was a fan of the Spice Girls, David responded: "No, but I was into Posh."

Sharing the clip to his Instagram page, he added: "23 years ago today Posh became Mrs Beckham, but she will always be Posh.

"Happy Anniversary WOW 23 years & 4 beautiful kiddies. I love you, we all love you."

The former footballer went on to tag his wife and their four children - Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper.

David and Victoria made it official on July 4, 1999.

Like something out of iconic 00s ITV drama Footballers Wives, the Manchester United star and his Spice Girl bride wore matching outfits in tasteful shades of cream and gold, with Victoria jazzing up her pixie crop with an 18-carat gold crown.

When they wed, Brooklyn was only 4-months-old so they included him in the celebrations by making him the ring bearer.

They had an outfit change for the reception, with all the Beckhams - including baby Brooklyn - changing in to purple before they were seated on huge gold thrones.

The special day comes months after Brooklyn's own wedding to wife Nicola Peltz.

The loved-up pair tied the knot in April as part of a three day wedding extravaganza that has been estimated to cost around £3million.

They first met in 2017 at Coachella after being introduced by mutual friends. Nicola admitted they didn't get on at first but went on to enjoy a whirlwind romance.
