Jen explains that they barely made it to the wedding chapel in time before it closed, and while they wanted Elvis officiating…he wasn’t available. They moved on anyway, taking pictures in front of their witnesses – who appear to have been some of their respective children.

J Lo calls it their dream wedding, the one they wanted a long time ago – and ends by saying… “They were right when they said, ‘all you need is love’ We are so grateful to have this in abundance, a wonderful new family of five amazing children and a life we have never had more reason to look forward to.”

It ends here… “Stay long enough and maybe you’ll find the best time of your life at a Las Vegas drive through at half past twelve in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend eternity with. Love is a good thing, maybe the best thing, and it’s worth the wait.”
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are married – and wouldn’t you know it… they did it like a couple of kids trying to run away, saying “yes” in the desert.
According to court records, obtained by TMZ, the couple obtained a marriage license in Clark County, NV – which was withdrawn and processed on Saturday, July 16. It’s in both of their names — their legal names at that time… Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez.
A source connected to Bennifer tells TMZ … that they did indeed get married … and the license is a signal that they are now husband and wife.
TMZ broke the story…earlier this year J Lo was spotted wearing an engagement ring when shopping for furniture with her 14-year-old child, emma.
Shortly after, Jennifer shared the news with her fans via a video message on her newsletter, she has tears in her eyes and simply says “You are perfect” before she can catch a glimpse of her stunning green diamond ring.
Ben and Jen first got engaged in late 2002, but called things off in 2004 before getting married. They both had estranged relationships, including marriages and children, but the exes got together nearly a year ago … and have seemingly been inseparable ever since.
The signs that they got married have been there from the start – as we reported … they looked for a home together – often bringing their children with them – and signaled that they were aiming for a blended family situation. Despite some of their real estate business failsthe couple seem to have settled in an estate in Beverly Hills.
Last month, Jen’s car was spotted at a huge estate in Beverly Hills. There were also 4 moving trucks outside the estate – plus moving trucks to Ben and Jen’s current homes in the Los Angeles area.
The house wasn’t up for sale – we’re told he bought it for around $60 million. It previously belonged to Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. Now they are moving in as married.
Congratulation!!!
