Victoria and David's ceremony featured a Vera Wang gown with a 20-foot train, an 18-carat gold crown and a purple flag raised above the castle with their initials on it.

In October, the former footballer spoke candidly about his 19-year marriage to his wife Victoria during an interview with The Sunday Project.

It came after a teaser clip of David describing his marriage as 'hard work' reportedly upset Victoria.

The full interview aired later that week and the 44-year-old said he and the former Spice Girl are committed to their marriage and they teach their four children about the importance of hard work in all areas of life.

'I think marriage is always about hard work,' he said.

'You know your children, they want your time and they deserve your time, and we are hard working and we feel that is the right way to bring up our children. To prove and to show them that actually, you have to work really hard to be successful.'

The couple, who began dating in early 1997, had four children - Brooklyn, 19, Romeo, 16, Cruz, 13, and seven year-old Harper.
