Plans have been set in motion at Ben Affleck’s Georgia estate for the actor’s second wedding to Jennifer Lopez this weekend after their ceremony in Las Vegas last month.
A marquee was erected on the riverside property on Thursday, as employees toiled all day in preparation for the star-studded ceremony.
Their three-day “intimate celebration for family and friends” kicks off with a rehearsal dinner on Friday, our insider informed.
The actors will tie the knot on Saturday, this time in front of family and celebrities who couldn’t make the first wedding, such as Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, Casey Affleck and Drea de Matteo, all of whom are expected to attend.
The couple already tied the knot at a ceremony in Las Vegas in July, with Lopez turning to her “On The JLo” newsletter to gush about their sin city wedding.
“Last night we flew to Vegas, lined up for a permit with four other couples, all taking the same trip to the wedding capital of the world,” she shared with her subscribed fans.
“Behind us, two men held hands and held each other. In front of us was a young couple who, on their daughter’s second birthday, made the three-hour drive from Victorville – we all wanted the same thing – so that the world would recognize us as partners and declare our love to the world through the ancient and almost universal symbol of the marriage.”
The couple met in 2001 on the set of their movie “Gigli”, while Lopez was still married to her second husband Cris Judd. After their divorce in June 2002, “Bennifer” was born, with Affleck initially proposing in 2002. Sadly, they broke up and didn’t make it all the way down the aisle.
Lopez then married Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Max and Emme, while Affleck married Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel.
Both relationships ended in divorce, eventually leading the couple back together in 2021 after Lopez’s broken engagement to former Yankee Alex Rodriguez.
