Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially tied the knot this weekend in an ‘intimate ceremony’ in Las Vegas.
Lopez shared a sneak peek of the secret ceremony with readers of her On the JLo newsletter and wrote: “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.”
Lopez wrote: “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).”
Lopez wrote she wore a dress from an old movie and Affleck wore a jacket from his 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,” she wrote. “In the end it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined.”

The couple’s romance is one that’s been more than 20 years in the making. The couple initially met in December 2001 on the set of the rom-com “Gigli,” where they played criminals stuck on a job together and the pair strike up real-life friendship.
By November 2002, the two were engaged but postponed their wedding in September 2003 citing ‘the excessive media attention’ surrounding their wedding.
They never made it down the aisle and officially called off their engagement in January 2004. However, after 17 years, Lopez and Affleck found their way back to one another.
