Victoria Beckham's electrician fiancé she was going to marry before David won her over

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Victoria and David Beckham have been a power couple since their relationship began in 1997 and have cemented themselves as one of the most solid couples in showbiz.Despite their 26-year romance going strong, it almost didn't happen as Victoria was engaged to her high school boyfriend prior to meeting David.

The fashion designer, 49, previously lived with her first fiancé and high school sweetheart Mark Wood at her parents £400,000 home in Goff's Oak, Hertfordshire.The Mirror reports that the couple met when she was just 14-years-old studying at St Marys High in Cheshunt and Mark was working for her parents' electrical company.

Mark popped the question in 1994 after Victoria landed her breakout role as part of the Spice Girls, but she later ended their relationship claiming he just wasn't right for her."It wasn't the right person for me, I wasn't enjoying myself, so that had to end," she told Channel 4. "But I didn't give him the ring back either!

I've still got it because it was a wicked ring. Isn't that horrible? It makes me sound really materialistic."At first, their break-up seemed amicable as Mark praised his ex in the early days following their break up.
