Jennifer Lopez Shares Intimate Details Of Her Vegas Wedding To Ben Affleck

It’s official: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are husband and wife — some two decades after getting engaged the first time around. The wedding was, by all accounts, a magical event full to the brim of romance, intimacy, and a little bit of adventure. Never one to disappoint fans, the new Mrs Affleck gave everyone a glimpse of the couple’s special day via her exclusive newsletter. And we have to say, it sounds like it was the perfect start to their happily ever after.

Romance is key

The ceremony took place on July 16, 2022, in a chapel in Las Vegas — just over a year after they confirmed they’d reignited their old flame and three months after the pair got engaged. For the second time, that is. Affleck got down on one knee in front of J.Lo back in April 2022 in what has to be one of the most romantic proposals ever! 

Smiling and crying

“While at my favorite place on earth (in the bubble bath), my beautiful love got on one knee and proposed,” Jennifer told fans in an issue of her OnTheJ.Lo web newsletter. “I… just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again. I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’ I said, ‘YES of course that’s a YES.’” 

Quiet Saturday night

Lopez continued, "I was smiling so big and tears were coming down my face, feeling so incredibly happy and whole. It was nothing fancy at all, but it was the most romantic thing I could’ve ever imagined… just a quiet Saturday night at home, two people promising to always be there for each other." And the couple’s wedding would echo the same intimate sentiments.

The ring

J.Lo’s engagement ring was a whopping 8.5-carat diamond ring in a light shade of green — very different from the pink one Affleck had originally given her some 20 years before. Lopez posted a picture of herself wearing the ring on her newsletter to announce the news. But just three months down the line, she’d be swapping that big rock for her wedding band.
