Luttrellstown Castle
Updated: 7/21/99
The wedding of Victoria Adams and David Beckham is one that many called the wedding of the year. This historical wedding took place indoors on July 4th 1999 at Luttrellstown Castle which is on the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland. Victoria's wedding dress was designed by Vera Wang. It was low cut to attract attention to the cleavage and showed off a thin waist. Here is a picture of Victoria in it. The rights to any sort of media of the wedding were purchased by OK! Magazine which paid £1 million for them! Victoria's bridesmaid was her sister Louise. The security at the wedding was extremely tight. There was even a ring of steel around the grounds of the 550-acre castle, and a 1 kilometer no fly zone! Only 29 close family members & friends, including the other 3 Spice Girls, viewed the actual wedding, and there were 236 guests for the post party.

This is most likely the final post on the wedding of Victoria & David, as new information has stopped coming in. OK! Magazine will probably still publish a few more pictures in the coming week's issues. However, all information about the wedding seems to be out & known, pictures available, I do believe we are finished with it. Here are some final pictures from the wedding:

Today Victoria and David returned to England from their honeymoon. They flew back on British Airlines(in the Business section) to Heathrow from Nice. The couple stayed at Elton John's majestic, £4 million Mediterranean villa. They both now have nice tans. Victoria wore a tight-fitting top and black leather trousers and munched through six packets of pretzel snacks and passed on the in-fleight meal. David Beckham changed Brooklyn's diapers and fed him. Brooklyn at one point vomited on him!

Somehow a picture from yesterday's Vanity Fair photoshoot in Scotland with Victoria and David has already surfaced on the internet! Here it is!

Friday, July 2, 1999
95.8 Capital FM, a London radio station, just reported that Victoria has landed in Dublin just moments ago!

Victoria and David have officially made their last appearance in England before being married. They posed for interviews and photographs outside their parents' home in Goff's Oak, Hertshome before leaving for the airport. Victoria said:

"I've got a bit shaky. But I'm OK, I'm fine."

That may very well be the final Victoria quote we hear before she is married. David Beckham however insisted: "I'm not at all nervous."

But a friend of his said:

"He is a bit nervous. It's all he's thought about since the season ended. For him it's the culmination of the perfect year, the birth of his son Brooklyn, United's treble and now walking down the aisle with Victoria."

The Mirror did the interview and gave her a beautiful bouquet of flowers and told her they were from the Mirror and all their readers. Victoria said "Thank you so much, they're beautiful." Soon after Victoria, David, family and friends sped off in a burgundy people carrier with tinted windows

Friday, July 2, 1999
Victoria's father Tony Adams phoned in a request to BBC Radio 2 to request a song for his daughter on the countdown. He requested that DJ Ed Stewart play Stevie Wonder's 1977 hit "Sir Duke". Mr. Adams said Victoria has danced to the song for years. Mr. Adams said Victoria and David would be tuning in to hear it on their way to the airport before flying out to Dublin for the celebrations. Mr. Adams called shortly before leaving for the airport himself.

The Sun newspaper(UK) is offering readers to purchase some Victoria & David wedding memorabilia. For nearly £17 you can own a plate, mug and tea towel featuring a photograph, plus a T-shirt for £8.99. All profits go to a charity and the Sun has done this in of course an ironic way. Here is their description of the memorabilia:

"Each item carries a not-at-all cheesy picture of the glamorous couple in matching black leather jackets, complete with the words Posh & Becks and the date of their big day. The mug and plate are made of genuine imitation porcelain. And the tea towel is 100 per cent machine-stitched polyester, none of that hand-sewn rubbish, and comes in any colour you like, as long as it's white. So go on, treat yourself. Or buy the mother-in-law a set. If you don't like her, buy her a couple."

Members of a Championship golf course, which costs £12,000 to join, and £720 a year in fees are furious about the effect that the Victoria and David wedding is having on them. A sign on the chalet-style clubhouse reads: "Due to a private function, the course and clubhouse will be closed to members and visitors on Sunday July 4." Victoria and David bought out the golf course for Sunday for £15,000 in fears that photographers might get a snap of the event from the long par five 12th hole. Golfers are furious, here is what some of them, along with some of the staff constructing the wedding equipment said:

"They don't want to know us on Sunday because of the wedding - it's a disgrace."

"I think it's a load of shit! They're so rich and have so many fans but, rather than share their happiness, nobody gets a look in and they can earn yet another million quid."

"What sickens me is that they are asking for shopping vouchers as their wedding presents, why didn't they ask everyone to make a donation to charity?"

Friday, July 2, 1999
Victoria and David were at a fasion shoot in Scotland yesterday. The shoot took place in the Scottish Highlands. It was done with Vanity Fair magazine for a deal of £1 million.

Victoria Adams and David Beckham's engagement cake will be auctioned off tomorrow to the highest bidder to help raise money for a village school. The cake was originally given to David & Victoria as an engagement present by the management of Rookery Hall, a country house hotel in Nantwich, Cheshire, when they held their engagement party there last year. The cake is a replica of the hall. David & Victoria never made it to the party because they discovered that the media had found out about it and would be there. The cake was then auctioned off at a charity raffle at the hall. A mother named Lisa Hocknell won the raffle and donated it to her daughter Emily's new school to be auctioned. It will be auctioned off tomorrow Goostrey Community Primary School in Goostrey, Cheshire will auction off the cake. They hope to make £10,000.

Things are quickly springing up in Dublin for the big wedding between Victoria Adams and David Beckham which is only 2 days away! Giant trucks are delivering tons of equipment and a marquee is being linked to the castle by a tunnel stretching across the grounds to keep the couple from the eyes of aerial cameras. A wedding at Luttrellstown castle costs £10,000, but catering the event for 300 guests will boost that price up significantly. Rumors are that the wedding is designed with a fairy-tale theme in mind. Victoria is said to want geese and swans wandering about the lawn after inspiration from the similar scene in the movie Father of the Bride. Once again male guests are being asked to wear specially designed black suits and women will wear white evening dress for the event. Star invitees such as Elton John and George Michael will provide entertainment. The whole Manchester United football(soccer) team will be attending minus Manchester United boss Alex Furguson in order to attend the wedding of Richard Sainsbury and Pamela Gordon at the Marcliffe at Pitfodels as a friend of the family.

The rumors that Victoria Adams and David Beckham are not clear to legally wed in Dublin are false. The Irish Times has confirmed that Victoria and Daved have given notification to the Registrar of Civil Marriages in Dublin of their intention to marry in the State in line with legal requirements.

The scene is quickly setting for the wedding around Luttrellstown castle. Tight security kept onlookers away at the giant security gates of the castle, which can't be seen from the road.

RUMOR WARNING

Victoria Adams and David Beckham can't legally say "I do" this weekend in the Dublin castle they plan to wed in. Neither the church of Ireland nor the registrar for civil marriages in Dublin will have anything to do with the ceremony. This is because the couple failed to meet three basic requirements to wed in Dublin. Neither of the couple has lived in Dublin County for the last 15 days. They haven't given three month's notice to wed. They did not post their marriage banns at least 22 days ago. This means that Victoria and David will have to officially get married in England and then fly to Dublin for a marriage blessing. The main party and events other then the official declaration of matrimony will still take place in Luttrellstown Castle. The deputy registrar for civil marriages of Dublin, Hannah Conway said: "We don't do hotel or castle weddings. Obviously the David Beckham marriage has been the talk of the city for some weeks. But we are not involved, and nobody is conducting any service on a civil level from here. You have to remember that there are very stringent requirements to get married in Dublin, either by licence or civil ceremony." A spokesperson for the church of Ireland said: "Yes, we've heard the rumours too. But the banns are not up, notice has not been given and to the best of our knowledge we are without any knowledge of involvement in the wedding of these two people." Also, the word as to why Geri really isn't attending the wedding is that there could be a lot of tension if the Spice Girls met up with Geri again, and a wedding is not the right place for such an event.

RUMOR WARNING

Wednesday, June 30, 1999
Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell will not be attending Victoria's £500,000 wedding. Geri claims that it is because she is too busy playing at Party In The Park this weekend in London. It is unclear whether she was invited or not. More then 300 guests will attend the wedding which takes place this Sunday!

Tuesday, June 29, 1999
Victoria has stated that the only wedding gift she really wants from anyone is money! She has asked that her wedding presents be shopping vouchers or cash - convertible units of exchange, in whichever form is most convenient to the giver. Victoria is not alone in this request. A survey shows that one in five couples between 25 and 35 are going for this new cashback style of weddings. These weddings are in essense known as being "smarter weddings" because they eliminate the need of the newly weds to return unwanted items to stores.

Sunday, June 27, 1999
Elton John will sing at the wedding of Victoria Adams and David Beckham. He will surprise the couple with a song he has specially composed just for them. It has also been revealed that the couple plan to have their honeymoon on the paradise island of Bora Bora in the Indian Ocean.

"Motherhood is the best thing to happen to me and I would recommend it to anyone, but the problem with having a baby is you want another one. Brooklyn is beautiful, he's smiling and gurgling and doing something new every day. It would be brilliant for him to have someone to play with."

David Beckham said:

"I never thought it would be like this. I didn't know I had the feelings that I'm experiencing now. It's been a great year. I've become a dad, I'm getting married and my club won The Treble."

With under a month until their wedding Victoria and David Beckham both arrived in New York yesterday for a final fitting of Victoria's wedding dress which it has now been determined is designed by Vera Wang. David flew back to London quickly to be with Brooklyn while Victoria stayed in New York to fit the dress and make sure all the measurements are correct. Victoria said she chose Wang instead of one of the more popular designers because:

"There are certain little things I'd like to put on the dress and she's really open to things like that. I couldn't work with anyone who's got a big ego and won't listen to anyone else's opinion."

Thursday, June 3, 1999
A van full of thugs slipped past the security gates of David Beckham and Victoria Adams' home in Cheshire. The van parked by Victoria's blue Mercedes. Victoria shouted down from a window at the intruders and informed them that they were on private property. The intruders only replied with swearing and making threats. When Victoria dialed 999 the intruders left. A week earlier, one of the couple's cars had been vandalised outside their home. A police spokesman said:

"They may have been fans of a rival football team who had sussed out where the couple lived. They hurled abuse, but drove off before the police arrived."

Victoria Adams actually almost missed Manchester United's glorious Championship win! When Victoria arrived in England on Wednesday she was supposed to have tickets waiting for her with the hotel that David Beckham left. The hotel however could not find the tickets and Victoria arrived at the game without them. Security actually gave her a difficult time when she explained her situation and tried to get in. Luckily one of Victoria's friends that was with her got a hold of David Beckham's father which was inside the stadium on a mobile phone. David's mother then came down to Victoria with a spare ticket. Victoria got to her seat with just one minute left to spare!

The stylist for the wedding is Kenny Ho, who dressed Geri Halliwell when she sang at Prince Charles' Birthday Party.

Victoria has talked to OK! Magazine recently and revealed her fears of her upcoming wedding which is being called the celebrity wedding of the century. Victoria said:

"You see brides and usually they've got all this long, pretty hair, and I've got, like, no hair...and what I have got is spiky! A lot of peoplehave got ideas about what my dress is going to be like, everyone's going to have to wait and see...I don't want to be out and out sexy. I want to do it in a subtle way".

Sunday, May 16, 1999
Victoria was on a recent television interview with ITN. She confirmed that giving birth to Brooklyn had changed her view of motherhood. Now that she is a mother she has gotten involved in a national campaign to eradicate meningitis. In fact she was at the studio to launch a new project called "Be Free", dedicated eliminating meningitis from England. Victoria handed over a scooter autographed by David Beckham to be auctioned away at a charity for the project. Victoria said:

"It wasn't until myself and David became parents that we really realised how serious these things are and we became involved with the charity." "We just want to do as much as we can to raise awareness and try to get people to give money."

Victoria was accompanied by Menangitis Research Foundation director Denise Vaughan which announced to the viewers: "May 1999 marks the start of the Foundation's 10th anniversary year. With the help of donations from the public we believe we can Be Free of a disease that not only kills in hours but causes death and disability, fear and devastation." Victoria also further killed the rumor that she doesn't like living in North England and would prefer the South saying:

"That's not true, I really love it in Manchester. There's been a lot of rumours that I don't, but I love it, and David's happy."

Victoria said a bit about Brooklyn as well:

"I worry all the time. That's what my mum told me, she said when you have a baby you don't stop worrying from the day you have the baby until 25 years time, my mum still worries about me. Obviously he's going to have a different kind of life to a lot of children but myself and David just want to make him as anonymous as we can until he's old enough to decide that he wants to do things for himself."

Monday, May 10, 1999
RUMOR WARNING

Victoria and David will soon be moving out of their £300,000 flat in Cheshire to a £2.5 Million home in Shropshire. The home was sold by John Broome, founder of Alton Towers theme park. The house has a 4 acre lawn, and apparently has been equipped with a state-of-the-art music system.

RUMOR WARNING

Saturday, May 8, 1999
A 10 year old girl from Preston named Karla Millward is determined to be a guest at David & Victoria's wedding. She is coming to the end of her seven month effort to try to get into the wedding. The girl's first attempt was sending a simple letter to the couple politely asking for a fan invite to the wedding. She of course got no reply, so she and her mother made a 250 mile trip to London to deliver a letter to British Prime Minister Tony Blair asking him to help her. The girl has even sent a picture of herself praying to David Beckham to show how much she wants to go. This past week she camped outside of Manchester United's training grounds to get an answer from David Beckham himself, but police told her and her mother to move on. The mother and daughter were ready to spend the night if necessary. Karla has written to Sir Bobby Charlton asking him to "have a word in Beckham's ear."

While changing Brooklyn's diaper Victoria noticed a hernia problem and rushed Brooklyn to the hospital. Brooklyn had been crying of pain for several days. He has had an operation done on him to remove the hernia at Portland Hospital earlier today. The operation is very routine and usually takes approximately 30 minutes. If Victoria had not spotted the problem this early however, it might have turned into a medical emergency. The baby had been having caughing attacks(signs of a hernia) for the past few nights which also left Victoria and David sleepless and concerned. The parents became even more concerned when Brooklyn was whimpering and looking more distressed at which point Victoria noticed the hernia. Father David Beckham has had Brooklyn's name tatoo'd onto his own back. Mother Victoria Adams will delay her trip to New York to try out her wedding dress because of the operation and it's aftermath. Apologies for being unable to update the news for the last couple of days due to more computer upgrades, i should be done for a while now though!

Tursday, April 22, 1999
The very first pictures ever taken of baby Brooklyn have been stolen while in David Beckham's possesion. Victoria and David fear that they will be sold on the black market to the highest bidder. British tabloids such as the Star have been notified by Victoria & David's lawyers that someone may try to sell the pictures to them. They have sent tabloids the following message:

"It has come to our attention that photographs featuring Ms. Adams and/or Mr. Beckham, together with their new-born child, are being offered for sale on the open market. We write to notify you that these photographs have been stolen from Mrs. Jackie Adams who owns the copyright. Anyone publishing them will be breaking copyright laws and committing a criminal offence."

I usually have "Beckham" on the front of my boot, but now it's "Brooklyn", with "Beckham" on the back. I think adidas are quite pleased actually!" He also says in the interview: "It's frustrating when people try to go into our personal lives. We are only 23 and 24 and we've just had a little baby. We want to be parents and enjoy watching him grow up. Many people wanted to interfere and destroy it, but they would not be allowed to do so. We know the people who care about us and as long as we're happy nothing else matters."

"He's beautiful, he's beautiful."(about the baby, not Jade hehe)

Mel B is expected to arrive later. Other arrivals included Victoria's parents of course. Publicist Alan Edwards cleaned up the naming story explaining that the baby is named Brooklyn because Victoria first found out she was pregnant in Manhattan, but Manhattan isn't a very good name, so they chose Brooklyn.

Victoria had a high request for privacy and keeping autograph hunters away, and even clearing out the ladies room when she needed it. Customers were politely asked to "wait for a couple of minutes." The customers were apparently a bit rowdy by the end of the evening.

Validity of this is questionable as Victoria previously stated that the baby was concieved in Denmark.

Victoria went into more details about her morning sickness and how hard it was for her to carry on during the US leg of the world tour. She is quoted as saying:

"I could have pulled out but I didn't want to, because of the fans. We were playing in 110 degrees and I was prancing about in a PVC catsuit and throwing up at the side of the stage in a bucket."

Victoria also responded to claims that her pregnancy out of wedlock sets a bad example for fans saying:

"I haven't said, 'Go and get pregnant.' I'm happy and in a stable relationship. Girl Power is about doing what you want as long as you're sure about it yourself."

She also revealed plans that she wants to have a total of 3 children with David Beckham.

Victoria aparently is extremely tired with the stories of the affair between David Beckham and Emma Ryan and has been quoted as saying:

"I trust David 110%. I've found the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. These stories are so ludicrous that we are going to take legal action. The truth is we are stronger than ever and both looking forward to having the baby. The reports haven't damaged our relationship at all. The only thing that matters is that we love and trust each other and our families are okay. If people want to believe what they are reading, that's up to them."

There are reports that are almost confirmed true that David Beckham cheated on Victoria when the Spice Girls were on tour in the US. It was apparently with topless model Emma Ryan. She has confessed to a newspaper about the incident after she never heard from Beckham again after Victoria returned to England. David apparently arranged many secret meetings between the two during night hours and even gave her seats to sit in the same section as his parents during his football games. The two were aparently rather excited about each other. It apparently got to the point that they were kissing passionately on a couch and fondling each other. Word has it that Victoria is obviously very very very angry with him and associates close to her say that David will get a literal beating.

Spice Girl Victoria Adams and England's soccer star David Beckham announced their engagement Sunday, and she showed off a very large diamond ring as they left a five-star hotel.

Adams, who is Posh Spice in the British girl power pop group, and Beckham, the Manchester United and England midfield star, emerged from the Rookery Hall Hotel in Nantwich, Cheshire and told journalists their plans.

"It's just what I wanted and it was a big surprise," the 23-year-old Adams said, flashing her ring against a fur-trimmed bag that matched her fur-trimmed black leather coat and black micro-miniskirt.

"I'm very happy," the 22-year-old Beckham said, before the two drove off in his silver-blue Jaguar.

Their romance is said to have begun months ago after Posh Spice watched Beckham playing for Manchester United.

The couple is not expected to marry for at least a year. Over the coming six months the Spice Girls will be touring and Beckham will be on a gruelling World Cup schedule.

Britain's Press Association said Posh Spice had presented her fiance with a diamond-encrusted gold band.
