David Beckham and Victoria Beckham
David knew he wanted to be with Victoria from the moment he first saw her performing with the Spice Girls on TV. He finally got to meet her at a football game and, according to Victoria, it was love at first sight.
“Yes, love at first sight does exist. It will happen to you in the Manchester United players’ lounge. While the other football players stand at the bar drinking with their mates, you will see David standing aside with his family. . . He’s going to ask for your number. (He still has the London-to-Manchester plane ticket on which you wrote it),” she wrote in a letter to her younger self.
