IRELAND: DAVID BECKHAM & VICTORIA ADAMS WEDDING DAY (V)

(4 Jul 1999) English/Nat
Voiced By: Philippa Meagher
It was billed as Britain's showbusiness wedding of the year - Victoria Adams from the world famous pop group, the Spice Girls, married England soccer striker David Beckham.
The wedding took place in the grounds of Luttrellstown Castle in Dublin, Ireland.
Just 29 close family and friends, including fellow Spice Girls Mel G, Mel C and Emma, witnessed the ceremony presided over by Bishop of Cork Paul Colton.
