JEN & BEN’S LAVISH SECOND WEDDING ‘OUR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL’

One ceremony just wasn’t enough for the Hollywood sweethearts
JEN & BEN’S LAVISH SECOND WEDDING ‘OUR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL’

It took them 20 years to finally make it to the altar. And when the time was finally right to say “I do”,

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck weren’t content with just one wedding – they had two.

After they became husband and wife in a drive-through Las Vegas chapel in July, Jennifer said the late-night ceremony, with just their children in attendance, was “the best possible wedding we could have had”.

But it seems it wasn’t enough after all for the couple dubbed Bennifer, who went all out on a three-day extravaganza at Ben’s luxury Georgia estate last week.

According to the newlyweds’ close friend, Clerks director Kevin Smith, the vows they wrote for each other were “achingly beautiful” and the whole event was “insanely well done, very classy but emotional as hell. This wedding would have made the more hardcore cynic believe in true love.”

THREE COUTURE GOWNS

Jennifer, 53, looked drop-dead gorgeous in not one but three stunning custom Ralph Lauren gowns – one for the service and two more at the reception – which are believed to be worth more than $1 million each. The gown she got married in featured more than 1000 handkerchiefs hand-stitched to the train, while the others sported cascading strings of pearls and sparkling Swarovski crystal detailing.

The Marry Me star shared photos and sketches of the frocks on her newsletter On The JLo, commenting, “The dresses were dreamy. Thank you, Ralph Lauren.”
