Wedding of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz

[Anonymous]

I’m surprised that there’s nothing posted on the wedding of the oldest child of Posh Spice and David Beckham and Nicola Peltz, daughter of a Florida multi-billionaire.

Victoria Beckham looks half her age in that mother of the bride dress. Becks has aged well too.

Also surprised that Brooklyn is getting married pretty young for a rich boy (age 23) and that with all that money neither he nor his bride got any form of higher education.

Victoria and David were pretty young when they got married too. Are there any pics in the article? I only skimmed.

Why is 23 considered “pretty young” to get married?

I guess it is young compared to current norms and all the people in DC not getting married until their 30s or later. My parents were younger than 23 when they married, which was normal in their day.

I was surprised by Brooklyn's age, because my kids are around that age and don't seem marriage ready. And because it made me feel old! There again, he's probably had a lot more exposure to the world than my kids who haven't done much yet beyond school and college. Similarly, people commented on Sophie Turner marrying young, but she's been working in the adult world since her early teens.

Because most mc/umc/uc people go to college and begin careers and become somewhat established before getting married in 2022. These people already have money from their parents and didn’t go to college so they probably don’t care. I married (in 2008) at 25 and had many people comment that I was “so young” and “a child bride”, just like I was dubbed a “teenage mom” when I had my first baby at 26. People like to pick on others for silly things.

She is 27, which means that she likely doesn’t want to wait much longer to have kids, so marriage makes more “sense” for her. They’ve been together a while it seems so at least they’re not rushing into it like so many “celebs” do at young ages.

Because it is. The average first marriage age for an American male is 29 and for an American female it's 27.]

No pics yet because they sold them— got to cover the cost of a $4m wedding somehow I guess.

This poor kid. They published a book of his photographs that was like a mean joke.

Nicola is 27. Average.

And his internet cooking show that he said was just his girlfriend filming him and turned out to require 62 professionals…

I barely know any married younger millennials or older Gen Zers in their early-mid 20s, but I’m an older Millennial born in the mid-80s and like, 23-26 was prime wedding time for me and my friends. Multiple weddings every summer and fall, people showing up at work with engagement rings all the time.

I find this celebrity wedding to be mildly but definitively depressing.

The British side seems trashy (too many tats and boobs falling out of dresses) and the American side, not much better (Miami: need I say more?). The bride and groom seem like vacuous wastrels who've never been asked to develop skills or self-reliance by their self-absorbed parents. Nobody is exceptionally good-looking and the groom especially looks like a very, very average lower-class British bloke, with sparse facial hair and unmemorable beige features that call to mind the lads that hang about grim council flats on the gloomy outskirts of London.

They signed an ironclad prenup so there won't even be any money drama when they inevitably divorce.

I click on the DM stories hoping against hope for something interesting or lovely to look at and I just see a bunch of mediocre-looking people and C-list celebrities, and I feel a crushing sense of ennui. Give me a royal wedding any day, or an A-list celeb wedding in Malibu. But this one is just depressing. Do better, DM. Do better.

I’m also a geriatric Millennial and everyone in our social circle was married by 30. Those who weren’t are still single. I grew up LMC in the Southwest, my partner UMC here. Roughly half of our friends have advanced degrees and all are white collar FWIW

They do not have to worry about money-- so why not? Live + let live.
