Just a few months after Beckham married wife Victoria Beckham in July 1999, the soccer player’s older sister Lynne wed Colin Every at a register office in Hornchurch, Essex. Beckham was photographed smiling beside his sister, who wore a white bridal gown and carried a bouquet of white flowers on the big day.
