AS more than 100 loved ones looked on, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck exchanged vows on his 87-acre estate on Georgia's Hampton Island Preserve Aug. 20. The trip to the altar took 20 years, following a failed engagement in 2004 and quickie Vegas nuptials on July 16 for the pair, who reunited in April 2021. "Even if I didn't know these two, but I just knew the story and the history," gushed Ben's Clerks III director Kevin Smith, "it was so incredibly beautiful."
