It’s official: she’s an Affleck now. Jennifer Lopez has confirmed her marriage to Ben Affleck at the famous Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. The pop superstar informed fans of the nuptials which occurred over the weekend in a new post on her website, On The JLo. Here’s what she has to say about it.
Lopez wrote: “Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a licence with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world.”

The pair then read their vows in front of “the best witnesses you could ever imagine” wearing “a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet.”
The marriage ceremony occurred at “twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through”, accompanied by their children from previous relationships, the post said.
“Love is patient”, Lopez added, “twenty years patient” – in obvious reference to the fact the couple were first engaged 18 years ago before the wedding was called off. The post was then signed off: “With love, Mrs Jennifer Lynn Affleck.”
Earlier on Sunday, Clark County Court records in the state of Nevada showed Lopez and Affleck had secured a marriage license the day prior which revealed she was planning to take the name Jennifer Affleck.
County Clerk Lynn Marie Goya, who runs the Marriage License Bureau, told the PA news agency: “I can confirm that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez obtained a married license last night, but their marriage certificate has not yet been filed. The license is valid up to one year.
“If they have had a ceremony, they join Vegas A-list couples such as Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley and Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward – and the numerous couples who make up the Five Million Love Stories that make Las Vegas the Wedding Capital of the World.
