Ben Affleck quoted poignant line from movie in wedding speech to Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez gave her fans a sneak peak into her and Ben Affleck's three-day wedding.

Writing in her On The JLo newsletter, the singer revealed that her new husband quoted his movie in his speech at the wedding reception.

Standing in front of a neon sign which read: "Mr & Mrs Affleck", Jennifer said how Ben read a few lines from his 2016 movie Live By Night which read: "This is heaven. Right Here. We’re in it now."

Ben, 50, wrote, directed and performed in the action film, where he starred alongside Zoe Saldana, Sienna Miller and Ellie Fanning.

It followed the story of a group of bootleggers in Boston during the Prohibition era.

The couple first tied the knot in Las Vegas before celebrating their nuptules in a three-day extravaganza at Ben's $8.9million Georgia estate.

"When he saw me appear at the top of the stairs that moment it both made absolute sense while seeming still impossibly hard to believe, like the best dream, where all you want is never to awaken," she wrote.

"Some old wounds were healed that day and the weight of the past finally lifted off our shoulders. Full-circle — and not at all the way we planned it. Better,"

She also revealed how the couple had concerns and set backs in the lead up to their big day.

The actress noted how it had "rained at sunset every day that week" and that the family were "getting worried about the heat and the likelihood of thunder and lightening.

"Oh, and all of us caught a stomach bug and were recuperating 'til late in the week, that, and along with a few other unexpected setbacks, had all the makings of a doozie of a wedding weekend," Lopez admitted.

Despite all of these worries, she said that she "never had one doubt."

"At six forty-five, Saturday, August twentieth, the sun broke free and cast its rays like little diamonds dancing across the river behind the makeshift altar in our backyard. The sky was clear blue, and distant clouds of pure white held fast in the sky."

She added, "As the sun set behind the live oaks draped in Spanish moss, a warm breeze swept over the lawn where our closest family and friends sat and, at long-last, I started my walk down the stairs that would become the aisle that would lead me toward the rest of my life. Ahhhhh...it was actually happening..."
