Inside Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's intimate Vegas wedding
With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck... JLO changes her last name after marrying Ben Affleck.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially married 20 years after they first got engaged. The on-again couple got hitched in Las Vegas.
Only a few family members - including their children from previous relationships - are said to have attended the intimate ceremony. Jennifer wore two wedding dresses for her big day.
Make-up artist Chris Appleton shared a picture of her wedding day glam on Instagram.
"Out of all the events and crazy glams we have had, this definitely was the most special. Congratulations Jen and Ben!" he captioned the post.

Jennifer revealed she was engaged in a sweet note she shared in her On The JLO. Ben popped the question with an emerald-cut green diamond which is reportedly worth $10-million.
The ring is an upgrade from the $2.5-million pink diamond Ben gave her when he proposed in 2002. Jennifer shared details about her weekend wedding in the latest edition of her newsletter.
"We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient," she wrote.
The 'Maid in Manhattan' star said their Vegas wedding was exactly what they 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... We barely made it to the little white wedding chapel by midnight. They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, let us take pictures in a pink Cadillac convertible, evidently once used by the king himself (but if we wanted Elvis himself to show, that cost extra and he was in bed)," she added.
The actress signed off her newsletter with her new legal name.
"With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck," she wrote.

Jennifer revealed that one of the dresses she wore was from an old movie. Ben wore a jacket from his 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. They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle. But in the end 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."
