\n
Back in July, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married at a drive-thru chapel in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Sure, the A-listers are both fabulously wealthy these days, but they both come from humble beginnings, and the kitschy Sin City nuptials felt like Ben and Jen\u2019s way of acknowledging their roots.<\/p>\n
But the second wedding?<\/p>\n
The second wedding was all about how far these two have come.<\/p>\nBen and Jen are officially man and wife!

The couple\u2019s second wedding was no secret, but it wasn\u2019t until yesterday that Jen posted the pics and shared her thoughts on marrying Batfleck for the second time.<\/p>\n
Lopez began by reflecting on her walk down the \u201caisle that would lead me toward the rest of my life.\u201d<\/p>\nJennifer Lopez has shared all the details of her second wedding to Ben Affleck!

\u201cI would have had many of the same thoughts probably had I not been focusing so hard on not tripping over my dress, but when I got close enough to see his face, it made the same wonderful sense to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lopez went on to explain that the day was an emotional one for a number of reasons.<\/p>\nJennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck tied the knot for the second time at his estate in Georgia.

Full-circle \u2014 and not at all the way we planned it. Better,\u201d the music legend wrote.<\/p>\n
Lopez revealed that Affleck quoted one of his own movies in his vows.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is heaven. Right Here. We\u2019re in it now,\u201d Ben said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is one of my favorite lines that Ben wrote from a movie he directed called Live By Night<\/em>. He also said it the night of our wedding reception in his speech, and I thought\u2026how perfect,\u201d Lopez wrote.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s official! Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are not Mr. and Mrs. Affleck. (Photo via Lopez)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNow, no one actually saw Live By Night<\/em>, but we suppose Ben could\u2019ve done worse in terms of quoting from his own movies.<\/p>\n\u201cArgo f\u2013k yourself\u201d or pretty much any line from Gone Girl<\/em> probably wouldn\u2019t have gone over well.<\/p>\nJen went on to say that the night before the wedding, she and Ben \u201claughed the night before about getting married again at our age.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWe had both been married before and we aren\u2019t exactly kids any more but somehow now seemed like the only age that made sense.\u201d<\/p>\nBen Affleck and Jennifer Lopez attend the Los Angeles Special Screening of \u201cMarry Me.\u201d (Photo via Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nLopez then explained that while her road to marrying Affleck was a long and winding one, she wouldn\u2019t change a thing about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe truth is everyone\u2019s story is different and we all have our paths to travel. No two people are the same. But for us, this was perfect timing,\u201d Lopez wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing ever felt more right to me, and I knew we were finally \u2018settling down\u2019 in a way you can only do when you understand loss and joy and you are battle tested enough to never take the important things for granted or let the silly insignificant nuisances of the day get in the way of embracing every precious moment.<\/p>\nBen Affleck and Jennifer Lopez attend \u201cThe Last Duel\u201d New York Premiere.

That night really was heaven,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cYears ago, we had no idea the road ahead would mean navigating so many labyrinths and hold so many surprises, blessings and delights,\u201d J-Lo added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt all culminated in this moment, one of the most perfect of our lives,\u201d the actress and singer concluded. <\/p>\nWill the second time be the charm for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez?

I wish all of you the same kind of happiness\u2026the hard-earned kind that\u2019s all the sweeter for the journey that came before it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jen has a way with words, and her love for her new husband is obvious in her moving essay.<\/p>\n
We wish these two many years of happiness together!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
