    Back in the '90s, Victoria Beckham was living that Posh life and ascribing to the motto "Spice Up Your Life." But then she met David Beckham and immediately fell in love. No, seriously—we're talking love at first sight.

    "Yes, love at first sight does exist," Beckham writes in a note to her younger self (published in British Vogue). "It will happen to you in the Manchester United players' lounge—although you will get a little drunk, so exact details are hazy."

    "You are going to have so much fun with your clothes—PVC catsuits; chokers that say absurd things; weird spiky blonde hair. It will never occur to you that you appear ridiculous. You will turn up at awards ceremonies resembling a drag queen. But I look back at you and smile."

    We're smiling so hard at this entire letter—though kinda wish Posh and Becks first interaction had gone something like this:
