Becks in for the chopper
05/02/07
David Beckham is heading for the chopper as two of his pals plan to tie the knot on the same day.
He is desperate to watch best mate Gary Neville get hitched to Emma Hadfield in Manchester on June 16.
But his wife Victoria, 32, is keen to see fellow WAG Alex Curran, pictured, marry England ace Steven Gerrard later the same day near Liverpool.
So the couple are looking to fly between the two big bashes by helicopter.
There are even rumours that Manchester United ace Gary has asked David, 31, to be best man.
He did the honours for Becks when the ex-England skipper married Victoria in 1999.
An insider said: “There’s no way David wants to miss Gary’s big day.
“They’ve been close friends for so long and it’s possible that David will have duties he will not be able to miss out on.
“They’re toying with one solution of flying between the two by helicopter.
“The venues aren’t far apart and it will be much quicker than driving.”
Gary, 31, plans to wed Emma, 26, in Manchester Cathedral, followed by a reception at their sprawling 17th Century home.
Steven, 26, and Alex, 24, are reported to have booked a stately home near Liverpool and sent out invites to the do, said to be costing around £500,000, last week.
The guest lists will look remarkably similar as both have a host of mates from the football world.
