JLO and Affleck snuggle on their big day
Image Source/ onthejloNews just in, legendary Jennifer Lopez and Batman actor Ben Affleck have both announced their marriage after getting the knot tied in Las Vegas. Coming just three months after Affleck popped the question, the "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" wedding was reported as an impromptu one.
JLO turns heads in her stunning gown

It's heard that JLO didn't just wear one dress, but
two. The dress seen here is a classic sleeveless gown with embroidery that seems to fit JLO like a tailored glove. How she could look so good with no real or formal preparation in place for the wedding is a mystery.

Feeling (and looking) like a million dollars, Affleck snaps a (blurry) shot of himself in a mirror, in place of your usual professional photographer that you'd hire at your wedding. As it turns out, Affleck's jacket was actually taken straight from his wardrobe.
The morning after

Looking extremely pleased with herself, a refreshed JLO poses for a pic while tucked up in her bed sheets just hours after her and Affleck married, 17 years after their first engagement. It's hard to imagine anyone looking as stunning when they'd just woken up, especially after their wedding day!
And he forgets to clean the mirror!

Okay so I think from these photos we can gather that Affleck is not the best photographer. Taken in what looks to be a spacious toilet, Affleck shares a close up selfie dazzled by the finger marks and graffiti strewn across the mirror. Now that's style!

Albeit not the best angle of Affleck here, the couple look undeniably happy as they prepare to tie the knot and make their complicated relationship official. JLO writes:
"We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to."

While most of the wedding photos were taken by JLO's stylist Rob Zangardi, the actresses' hairdresser Chris Appleton snapped this one of the couple just moments before they became husband and wife. It's clear that the emotions got the better of the two as they were about to make the ultimate commitment.

Another candid shot here shows JLO getting ready. It looks as though she's contemplating her beautiful dress, but doesn't really have many alternate options. JLO herself reported that one of the dresses worn was actually recycled from one of her old movies!
And pulls it off incredibly

Despite being extremely limited in choices, it's clear that JLO is extremely resourceful when it comes to looking her best. This photo gives a better view as to how the dress looked, from head to toe, and we just can't get enough. Fingers crossed that she releases more pics of the big day soon.
Affleck turns our world around

While Affleck gets ready to make it completely official with the love of his life, he just can't help but take a sneaky little video of himself as he zooms into the toilet mirror. You can see where he's frantically got himself ready so that they could say their vows before the chapel closed for the night.

Just from this photo alone, you can clearly see how smitten this couple are with each other. Despite first calling their relationship off back in 2004, they rekindled 17 years later in 2021, and have not waited at all to be able to make their recoupling official.
And gives us a glamorous twirl!

Giving us a fabulous twirl in classic JLO style, she spins on the spot while flailing her dress. While it definitely wasn't the wedding that JLO planned to have, it certainly was memorable, and the spontaneity of it all definitely had the pair giddy.

While getting ready JLO strikes several poses for the camera, seemingly trying to work out whether this dress will be the one for her. It's clear that she's unphased by the unpreparedness of this wedding, and is just happy to be there with the love of her life.
The pair know how to travel in style

Only with a couple of witnesses, the pair decided that they just had to get married there and then. In her newsletter, JLO writes:
"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."

In what seems to be a touching moment of happiness, JLO serves looks in her second dress, sporting the classic bridal veil. JLO shares how they almost missed out in this epic moment:
"We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes."

This getting ready pic is by far the cutest. It's hard not to imagine her taking the phone after this to see just how gorgeous she looked in her embroidered dress. It's clear that she changed her mind though, as she can be seen wearing another dress later.

Have you ever seen a green diamond? Well, you have now. Pictured here is JLO's official engagement ring she was proposed to with by Affleck this year. It's estimated worth is to be up to $10 million, and is said to come in second to the red diamond in terms of rarity.

Given that we didn't get too many images inside their spontaneous wedding, it's only natural that we give you a little snap of where JLO and Affleck turned up to marry. A Little White Chapel in Vegas has seen the likes of Britney Spears, Judy Garland and Demi Moore where they all recited their own vows.
And the inside just as glam

While we're showing you the outside, we thought that you might like to see where JLO and Affleck stood to recite their vows and declare each other as husband and wife and life partners. It's hard to imagine all the different celebrities that have walked this carpet, but they certainly won't be the last.
The couple's stationary ride
Featured earlier with their witnesses sat inside, here's the infamous pink ride that JLO and Affleck used in their wedding photos. On the topic, JLO wrote:
“When love is real, the only thing that matters in marriage is one another and the promise we make to love, care, understand, be patient, loving and good to one another."

Back In The 00s

Now, it doesn't really look as though either of them have aged since this image that was taken in the early 00s. But, it's the outfits that help us realise this was from their relationship 18 years ago, not in 2022. The flared jeans, cute hat and scarves all round just scream 00s!

To polish it all off, we thought we'd leave you with JLO's first thoughts as an Affleck:
"Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for."
