It was a three-day, no-expenses-spared affair.

This past weekend,  Brooklyn Beckham, 23, son of David and Victoria Beckham, married his girlfriend of two years, actress and heiress, Nicola Peltz, 27, daughter of billionaire businessman Nelson Peltz and model Claudia Heffner. The wedding took place in Palm Beach, Florida, at the luxury beachfront estate of Nicola's family. According to reports, the newlyweds said 'I do' on a stage garlanded with flowers and plants in a huge marquee at the Peltz' ocean-side family estate. There was a limitless bar with free-for-all bottles of Bollinger Champagne, a celebrity-studded guest list and the happy couple were showered with luxury gifts, among them a blue vintage electric Jaguar to cruise around in. All in all, it was a wedding that made most other weddings look simple and pared down by comparison. However, the $3.5million (£2.7m) price tag the wedding apparently ended up costing has raised some eyebrows, and many have taken to social media to express their opinions on the excessive show of wealth, with a large proportion suggesting the money would have been better spent on helping those in genuine need.

It's frightening to think what was spent on the #Peltz #Beckham wedding could put thousands of families on the housing ladder....

Others found the wedding in bad taste as the rest of the world is currently facing a cost of living crisis not seen in decades.

Gez the level of extravagance at this #Beckham wedding you wouldn’t think the real world was facing a #CostOfLivingCrisis ? #anotherworld ?

Many cited the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine or the COVID-19 pandemic.

Maybe because he finds the amount of money being spent on a nobody marrying a nobody obscene, when people are plunging head first into poverty all round the world and people in Ukraine are dying at the hands of a despot! #beckhamwedding #Beckham #EltonJohn #NoClass

Others again made fun of the fact that both Brooklyn and Nicola are only famous due to their parents, and have, in fact, not accomplished all that much on their own.

@GMB Who cares about the @brooklynbeckham wedding and how much it costs! A nobody born to a nobody and footballer. C'mon?People are literally diving head first into poverty and people are dying in a senseless war. #Stayclassy #wedontcare #beckham

And some called the whole wedding a show off.

While people are choosing between heating and eating, war ravages Ukraine.The super rich are spending 3.5 million pounds on a show off wedding! #BrooklynBeckham
