Just over two months after their low-key weddings in Las Vegas, Jennifer Lopez, and Ben Affleck rekindled their love with a three-day dream wedding in Georgia.
According to Page Six, both sides’ family and friends gathered in Georgia on Friday for the wedding rehearsal supper.
Additionally, prominent figures from Hollywood were seen on Saturday driving up to Affleck’s $8 million, 87-acre mansion in Riceboro, Georgia. According to PEOPLE, attendance included Matt Damon and his wife Luciana, director Kevin Smith and wife Jennifer, model and actress Pia Miller and husband Patrick Whitesell, a talent agent, and Jason Mewes, who starred in the movie Clerks.
According to TMZ, Casey Affleck, the 49-year-old Batman actor’s brother, could not attend the opulent occasion.

According to the New York Post, life coach Jay Shetty conducted the wedding, and bride Lopez looked lovely in a snow-white Ralph Lauren couture dress with flutter sleeves, an open back, and tiered rouging all over the train and skirt.
After the bride and groom exchanged vows, the couple’s five children—including Lopez’s twins Max and Emme, 14, and Affleck’s daughters Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, as well as son Samuel, 10—helped carry the singer’s 20-foot floor-length veil down the aisle.
The attendees are wearing white in photos from the event, which also features noticeable décor like a white piano, pathway, and flowers.

Security boats were stationed close to Affleck’s riverside house on the North Newport River.
A magnificent fireworks show and decorative lights added the last touches to the momentous day.
Today’s barbecue and picnic marked the end of the festivities, according to Page Six.
The celebrity couple’s wedding(s) takes place 18 years after they called off their engagement in the early 2000s after only three months.
The 52-year-old “Jenny from the Block” singer said in her On the JLo newsletter following their July 16 wedding in Las Vegas: “We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.”
That wedding was much less lavish than the one this weekend, according to Lopez, who claimed that she and Affleck flew to Vegas and queued up for their license alongside four other couples.
“All of us wanting the same thing,” she said. “For the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.”
Lopez added: “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. We had that. And so much more. Best night of our lives.
“Thank you to the Little White Wedding chapel for letting me use the break room to change while Ben changed in the men’s room.”
The pair spent their honeymoon in Paris, where Affleck is renowned for being captured dozing off on a boat.
Congratulations to the happy couple once more!
