The dreamy Vegas elopement
People had shared an insider’s comment about the Bennifer’s Vegas wedding, saying that the pair had a “super, super small” ceremony, further adding that “They just wanted to be married so they got married.”
Jennifer Lopez documented details of the wedding in her newsletter:
“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. Behind us, two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three-hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday. All of us wanted the same thing, for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.”
Jennifer Lopez and Affleck had originally dated long back and gotten engaged in 2002 but called it off in two years. Their romance was rekindled two decades later after JLo broke up with ex-fiancee Alex Rodriguez last year. They made their relationship public in April 2021.
Now the lovebirds are happily married and hope to spend the rest of their lives together.
