The Beckhams' marriage often brings to mind a song lyric by the great Shania Twain: "They said I bet they'll never make it, but just look at us going strong."
Despite a few bumps and tabloid skirmishes over the years, the first couple of British showbiz have managed to stick together and appear to be as lovestruck as ever.

Today, July 4, marks the 17th anniversary of their wedding at Luttrellstown Castle in Castleknock in 1999.
And the pair have shared sickeningly lovely messages and images on Instagram to mark the occasion.
First up,
David shared this image of the pair mid-ceremony (admit it, you miss Becks' blond hair, right?)

"Wow 17 years ago to this day this happened... I was lucky to meet someone who has the same drive and wanted the same things in life... We have created 4 beautiful children and I couldn't wish for a more loving and caring mummy for them... Happy anniversary, I love u."
At the same time, Victoria published her own picture and message.
