Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s second wedding to be ‘all about J-Lo’ with ultra lavish party
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are expected to host a three-day-long wedding at the Argo star's mansion in Riceboro, Georgia, this weekend
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will reportedly host a second wedding party this weekend, with all the spotlight centering on the A-list bride.
The celebrity couple plans to say 'I do' once again at Ben's stunning Riceboro mansion in just a few days' time, according to inside sources.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck married in Las Vegas last month, exchanging vows in a private ceremony attended by just a handful of people. The romantic service, which took place nearly two decades after the shocking cancellation of their 2003 engagement and subsequent break-up, will now be followed by a lavish birthday bash at the Argo star's $7.6m property in Georgia.
It's understood that the three-day-long celebration will kick off with a rehearsal dinner on Friday, followed by a ceremony on Saturday, before ending with a 'barbecue and picnic' on Sunday. Jennifer and Ben's wedding guest list remains unknown, but it's likely that the newlyweds will invite a whole host of their celebrity friends – like Matt Damon and Leah Remini – to the extravagant shindig. Other VIPs expected to attend include J-Lo's children, 14-year-old twins Maximilian and Emme, as well as Ben's famous brother, Casey Affleck.
It's also been said that Ben, 50, is determined to make Jennifer, 52, the center of attention on the day.
"It’s going to be all about J.Lo," a source told Page Six. "Ben wants all of the focus to be on her for their big day."
The Halftime star has been notably candid about her rekindled romance with Ben, whom she first started dating in 2004. The superstar couple was famously engaged for a short period, before postponing the wedding over 'excessive media attention.' They officially split in 2004, with Jennifer marrying Marc Anthony that same year and Ben tying the knot with Jennifer Garner in 2005.

Their love story would be reopened, however, years later, when J-Lo confirmed she had called off her engagement to her boyfriend of four years, Alex Rodriguez, in May 2021. Just a month later, J-Lo and Ben went Instagram official with their new relationship. They announced they were engaged to be married in April 2022, almost twenty years after their first split.
