Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck tied the knot last month. Now the singer-actress, in her newsletter, shared some stunning pictures from the wedding, the reception, the rehearsal dinner and the day after the wedding. She started off by writing, "This is heaven. Right Here. ꦛWe're in it no♛w," a line from ‘Live By Night’, directed and written by Ben Affleck.
JLo, describing her wedding weekend, wrote in the newsletter, "It had rained at sunset every day that week. Everyone was worried about the heat, the aptly named 'love bugs,' the details, would the guests all arꦛrive on time, etc. - not to mention the thunder and lightning that arrived almost on cue each day at the exact time the ceremony was supposed to start that Saturday. Oh, and all of us caught a stomach bug and were recuperating 'til late in the week, that, and along with a few othe𓆏r unexpected setbacks, had all the makings of a doozie of a wedding weekend."
Ben and JLo picked Marc Cohn's ‘True Companion’ as their wedding song as she mentioned, "The truth is, I ne꧂ver had one doubt. All week I felt the calm and easy certainty that we were in God's hands."
She added, "At six forty-five, Saturday, August twentieth, the sun broke free and cast its rays like little diamonds dancing across the river behind the makeshift altar in our backyard. The sky was clear blue, and distant clouds of pure white held fast in the sky. As the sun set behind the live oaks draped in Spanish moss, a warm breeze swept over the lawn where our closest family and friends sat and, at long-last, I started my walk down the stairs that would becom🔯e the aisle that would lead me toward the rest of my life. Ahhhhh...it was actually happening..."
The 53-year-old singer revealed that while they both had been married before and we aren't exactly kids any more, but somehow now seemed like the only age that made se💫nse for them.
JLo further wrote, "We find ourselves in that long-desired time of life: Having gratitude for all that life has shown us, even its trials and tribulations. That night really was heaven…,” adding, "The day after, we all gathered for a yummy brunch by the lake. The vibes were down-home, rustic country-cಌhic."
She signed off, &൲quot;Years ago, we had no idea the road ahead would mean navigating so many labyrinths and holding so many surprises, blessings, and delights. It all culminated in this moment, one of the most perfect of our lives. We couldn't have been happier. I wish all of you the same kind of happiness...the hard-earned kind that's all the sweeter for the journey that came before it."
JLo and Ben got engaged bacꦯk in 2002. However, it ended in a split two years later. They both were previously married (and divorced) to Marc Anthony and Jennifer Garner, respectively.
