01of 13She Said YesDavid Beckham and Victoria Beckham.Dave Hogan/GettyThe Spice Girls singer and the pro footballer began dating in 1997 and were engaged about a year after. Nearly two decades later, Victoria looked back on her earliest days with David in an essay addressed to her younger self forVogue.“While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. (He’s not even in the first team at this stage — you are the famous one.),” she recalled. “And he has such a cute smile. You, too, are close to your family, and you will think how similar he feels to you.“While they didn’t wed until the summer of 1999, the Beckhams-to-be didn’t hide their engagement at all. After announcing the news, Victoria, who was 23 at the time, put her ring on full display for photographers as she and David, then 22, kissed outside their hotel in the U.K.
