The sadness of Victoria Beckham

Life smiles at her on all fronts (even if she doesn't often smile back, I know). She has the most handsome man in the world (okay, she had to share him occasionally, but who cares about that), she has a fantastic career as a fashion designer with a wardrobe so long that you could run a marathon in your walk-in closet, three handsome sons, and daughter Harper to boot.

As if that wasn't enough, your son Brooklyn is also dating Nicola Anne Peltz, who, like Victoria, is a serious slasher. Actress slash writer slash producer slash director. And yes, she is also stunningly beautiful and loves hanging out with her grandma and younger sister. The ideal daughter-in-law, and when Brooklyn got down on one knee and Nicola said ‘yes’, it was the starting signal for Victoria to start preparing the wedding.

So the whole family headed to Borgo Egnazia in Puglia to check out the location. They thought about the seating, the guest list, the flowers... Until... The Peltzes raised their hands. Because tradition dictates that the bride's parents pay for the wedding and thus, sorry Victoria, also decide.

Now Victoria thought, of course, that no one could match their fortune, taste, and organizational skills, but little did she know. The Peltzes are actually very wealthy and beloved Americans. Her father is billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and her mother is a model. She has one sister and six brothers, one of whom is a famous hockey player and another is actor Will Peltz.

Sweet detail: she and her brother have matching Hebrew tattoos that mean ‘family’.

All great and nice and lovely and wonderful, but at the wedding, the Peltzes have the first right. Victoria may organize a small after gathering in the English countryside, and something tells me she will do everything to make that after at least as memorable as the actual wedding.
