Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz marry in $5 million lavish wedding

Brooklyn Beckham and his new bride Nicola Peltz went for a spin in an $875,000 Jaguar after tying the knot.

The electric Jaguar XK120 is thought to be a wedding gift from dad David, The Sun reported.

They were cruising around Palm Beach, Florida, a day after their £3 million wedding — and hours before they released their glamorous first snaps.

The touching pics taken by Vogue photographer German Larkin show the fairytale bride in her Valentino wedding dress while a beaming Brooklyn wears a smile.

Brooklyn’s mum Victoria posted one black-and-white snap of the happy couple hand-in-hand on Instagram, writing: “Congratulations Mr and Mrs Beckham X Welcome to the family.”

Earlier Brooklyn provided a helping hand as he ushered Nicola into her parents’ house for brunch.

Parents David, 46, and Victoria, 47, had arrived for the get-together in a the Jaguar they were said to have given as a wedding present.

Brooklyn, 23, and Nicola, 27, then cleared their heads with a drive in the luxury motor.

The previous night’s partying had clearly taken its toll on his siblings.

Cruz, 17, was the spitting image of a young David while clutching a beer in a smart dark tuxedo on Saturday night.

But he was feeling the effects yesterday, yawning widely as he arrived for brunch in a scruffy oversized blue shirt.

Romeo, 19, with dyed cropped hair quit the party early on after drinking and dancing.

Meanwhile, ten-year-old sister Harper looked angelic with a posy in her hair as she danced with the other bridesmaids.

At the ceremony proud dad David “shed a tear” as he gave an emotional speech during the $5.25 million showbiz wedding of the year.

Onlookers said the soccer legend “choked up” as he recalled the day his eldest child was born.

Becks — famously dubbed Goldenballs — also called his new daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz “incredible” after she and Brooklyn tied the knot.

The ceremony took place on Saturday at her billionaire financier dad Nelson’s $133 million oceanfront estate in Palm Beach, Florida.

The wedding party raged on until 3am, with live music and dance tunes pumping from a makeshift “nightclub”.

An insider told The Sun: “David’s speech went on for about five minutes and he looked to shed a tear at one point.

“He was talking about when Brooklyn was born and how he wanted to protect him.

“He said he was sleeping on the hospital floor, holding the door shut because he didn’t want to let anyone get in.

“David got a lump in his throat and had to stop and take a breather to regain his composure, but it was a very sweet speech.”

And in a tribute to Nicola during a pre-party on Friday night, father-of-four Becks said: “We love you so much. We are excited that you’ll be part of the family.”

Aspiring chef Brooklyn and actress Nicola got hitched in a “double-wedding” in a nod to her parents’ heritage.

They had a Catholic ceremony for her mum, and a Jewish one for her dad.

Brooklyn — who has taken Nicola’s surname as his middle name — married her in a marquee in the garden.

Nicola arrived at the altar in a Valentino dress with a veil and holding a bouquet at 6.05pm.

The venue had a white grand piano and a flower-covered chuppah — a canopy — as is traditional at Jewish weddings.

Brooklyn crushed a glass in keeping with Jewish tradition, then kissed his bride twice — once for six seconds — before they walked down the aisle to Billy Joel’s She’s Got A Way at 6.30pm.

A-list guests later drank Bollinger champagne in the marquee next door as a jazz band played.

Chef Gordon Ramsay was seen hugging and joking with Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz at the hour-long cocktail party which followed the ceremony.

Brooklyn’s mum Victoria’s old Spice Girl bandmates Mel B and Mel C were there — although Geri Horner did not go and Emma Bunton pulled out having been invited.

Other stars present included tennis aces Serena and Venus Williams and actress Eva Longoria. Magician David Blaine performed tricks at tables.

The happy couple had their first dance to Can’t Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley.

Guests tucked into an asparagus starter and had the option of filet mignon, fish or a vegan dish for their main, with food served at 8.30pm.

Insiders said Nicola and Brooklyn had six white tiered cakes, all in different sizes.

Brooklyn gave a short but sweet speech and held his emotions together.

However guests said he cried when he saw Nicola in her dress at the altar.

One attendee said: “When Brooklyn saw Nicola, he shed a tear. It was expected.”

David took the mic next, but Brooklyn’s best men, brothers Romeo, 19, and 17-year-old Cruz did not give a speech.

Stars then took to the dancefloor, with fashion designer Victoria, 47, seen dancing with Brooklyn and also Latino legend Marc Anthony, who performed a one-hour gig with a band.

Guests were seen leaving the wedding party with bags of food from Wendy’s — the fast-food chain owned by Nelson.

Brooklyn’s bash was paid for entirely by the Peltzes, at Nelson’s insistence.

The event even outdid Brooklyn’s parents’ Golden Thrones wedding of 1999, which cost $1.3 million and was held at Luttrellstown Castle, Dublin.
