JLo and Ben Affleck finally tie the knot 20 years later
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have (finally) tied the knot!
The Hollywood couple have been engaged for three months for a second time and said their vows in an intimate ceremony in Vegas.
Affleck first proposed to Lopez, now known as Mrs Jennifer Lynn Affleck, 20 years ago.
Mrs Affleck confirmed to her beloved fans the news in her personal newsletter, On The JLo, and shared beautiful stories from the event.
“WE DID IT!” she began.
“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.
“Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world.”
Mrs Affleck said there were different couples around them who were “wanting the same thing” as they waited patiently for their turn.
“We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed),” she joked.
“So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives.
“They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle. But in the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined.
“One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible and one another) at very, very long last.
“When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another.
“We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives. Thank you to the Little White Wedding chapel for letting me use the break room to change while Ben changed in the men’s room.
“They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love’. We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to.
“Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with.
“Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.
“With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.”
