One commenter remarked, ‘But wait, Brooklyn Beckham is getting married, despite the Ukraine conflict and one of the greatest economic disasters in history.’
A large number of internet users are condemning the families of Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz for spending $3.5 million on the couple’s opulent wedding, which took place in Palm Beach, Florida last month. Brooklyn, 23, and Nicola, 27, exchanged vows on Saturday, April 9, at Peltz’s $103 million family estate, two years after they were engaged in July 2020.
When it was revealed that the star-studded wedding had cost about $4 million, many social media users expressed their surprise, while others said that the money could have been better spent by assisting those in need, according to People. The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, as well as the rising expense of living as the world recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, were the most frequently mentioned concerns by users.
One commenter on the wedding’s cost said that Brooklyn’s father, David Beckham, should have contributed the money, similar to the way that fellow footballer Marcus Rashford had done. The text of the tweet read: “The ridiculous sums of money he spent on his wedding!! David Beckham could follow in the footsteps of Marcus Rashford by assisting those who could benefit from a better life. Beckham is from the East End and should be aware of the situation. No doubt, it’s his son’s wedding, but 3 million dollars on the table? That’s a joke, of course.” “There’s a war in Ukraine and one of the biggest economic crises in history, but wait, Brooklyn Beckham is getting married,” wrote another person.
Someone else expressed themselves as follows: “Brooklyn Beckham recently tied the knot with Nicola Peltz, and the total cost of the wedding was approximately $3.5 million! If a simple wedding is blessed by God and celebrated in the presence of family and close friends, is it difficult to ensure that any remaining funds are directed towards charitable causes or the Ukraine??? Aiiiii.” “Do Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz live on the same planet as Ukraine?” a cynically inquired another. According to one user, “Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding will cost three million dollars. What a farce, to say the least. It’s no surprise they signed the pre-nup. Can you fathom the cost of a divorce party?”
Not everyone, on the other hand, held the same point of view. One respondent stated, “It is their intention to distribute a portion of their fortune with marquee firms, caterers, hospitality personnel, performers, jewellers, and furniture rental companies, among other things. All of those who have been among the most severely impacted during the past two years.” In the words of another writer, “She’s a billionaire’s kid, £3 million is little for a Beckham and Peltz.” Several others felt that Beckham and Peltz’s families were free to spend their money as they saw fit and that others had no right to make judgments about them or their spending habits.
