Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have officially tied the knot.

“We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient, 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, She wrote on her website.

The nuptials come 17 years after they called off their first engagement.

News of the couple getting back together last year sent fans into a spin, as they publicly displayed their rekindled love on social media.

Writing on her OntheJLo website, she said they had flown to Las Vegas on Saturday and queued for a marriage license alongside four other couples.

Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world. Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— 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.

She referred to it as the best night of their life.

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.

Jennifer Lopez has changed her name to Jennifer Affleck.

She concludes on her Website and signs out –

They were right when they said, “all you need is love”. 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. 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”.
With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck

The pair met in 2002, and got engaged in 2003, but broke it off the following year, citing “excessive media attention”.
