“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” she wrote in her announcement.
She added that the pair made it to the ceremony after midnight, “So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we’ll wear for the rest of our lives.”
“In the end, it was the best possible wedding we could have imagined. One we dreamed of long ago and one made real (in the eyes of the state, Las Vegas, a pink convertible, and one another) at very, very long last.”
Signing off, Lopez simply wrote: “Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck.”
While their marriage has felt like a longtime coming, fans have been left wanting more grandiose from the pop star. And now, it seems as if Lopez and Affleck gave the people what they wanted.
