Jennifer Lopez stunned the world on Sunday when she announced she’d enjoyed a very lowkey wedding with Ben Affleck this weekend.
The singer-actress, 52, and the Hollywood star, 49 , tied the knot in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony – a far cry from the lavish nuptials typically seen from their A-list pals.
Last year, the newlyweds rekindled their romance more than 20 years after they first dated which led to Ben getting down on one knee in 2002.
They were then forced to postpone their wedding in September 2003 before they split in the following January.
Their reconciliation came as a shock to the world when they took another shot at their romance in April last year.
Since then, they have been inseparable, with Ben getting down on one knee a year later.
The power couple finally walked down the aisle together in Sin City after they queued for a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada alongside four other happy couples, according to Lopez.
JLo detailed the inside scoop on their very down to earth wedding on her official newsletter, On The JLo, on Sunday evening, which also contained the first images of the bride in her white dress.
The singing superstar beamed as she wore her long hair in a hair-up-half-down style and adorned it with a stunning white veil.
Jennifer opted for a subtle smoky eye and super glam makeup look, which she teamed with a nude lip.
She accessorised with a pair of sparkly earrings and a simple necklace, complimenting her beautiful white dress.
She star was seen in two outfits: one off-the-shoulder frock with long lace sleeves and another simple sleeveless A-line dress made from an ivory jacquard fabric.
She clutched a mini bouquet as she was snapped grinning and being kissed by her new husband.
Ben matched her elegance wearing an ivory tuxedo jacket with a black bowtie and black trousers.
All five of the pair's children - Ben shares Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez shares 14-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony - were in attendance as witnesses.
According to Jennifer, the couple almost didn't get married as they struggled to make the chapel on time.
"They graciously stayed open late a few minutes," she wrote.
"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)."
Celebrity hair artist Chris Appleton posted a video of Jennifer moments before she was due to walk down the aisle as she got ready in the chapel's changing room.
The superstar was beaming as he quizzed her on her emotions in the post, which he captioned: "Last minute feelings before the wedding...."
She said in the video: "I feel amazing. I'm so excited. I've had this dress for so many years, I was just saving and saving and saving it and now I'm wearing it on my wedding day."
On her newsletter, J-Lo published photos of herself in the flowing white dress while Ben took a selfie in a separate changing room as he donned a white jacket and black bow tie for the nuptials.
She continued: "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. "
Jennifer signed off the newsletter: "With love, Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck."
It comes almost a year after Ben and J-Lo rekindled their romance last summer.
For months on end, speculation was rife that the pair were dating again, but neither Ben or J-Lo confirmed their love story was back on until months later when they were spotted on romantic getaways together.
Ben appeared back on the scene after Hustlers actress J-Lo called it quits from former Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, 46.
