J-Lo and Ben Affleck's second wedding preparations begin as star's mum lands in Georgia

Preparations seem to be well underway for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck 's second wedding, as J-Lo's mum Guadalupe Rodriguez was spotted arriving in Georgia.

The couple tied the knot in Las Vegas last month at an intimate ceremony surrounded by close friends and family.

The celebrations are set to continue in Georgia this weekend as Ben, 50, and Jennifer, 52, are said to be holding a three-day party.

Guadalupe, 76, arrived in Georgia on Thursday and was seen walking through the Savannah Hilton Head International Airport after a two-hour flight from New York.

In pictures obtained by DailyMail.com, the mum-of-three could be seen wearing casual clothes for the trip. She opted for a pair of patterned pants, a red cardigan and black t-shirt.

When asked by the publication if she was looking forward to the wedding, Guadalupe declined to comment.

Jennifer and Ben are thought to be hosting a three-day bash at Ben's $8million, 87-acre Riceboro estate in Georgia, according to Page Six.

It's thought the weekend of celebrations will begin today with a rehearsal dinner and the ceremony is said to be taking place tomorrow. The weekend will come to an end on Sunday with a barbecue and picnic surround by friends and family.

Speaking about the second wedding, an insider told Page Six: "It's going to be all about J-Lo. Ben wants all of the focus to be on her for their big day."

Jennifer is expected to wear a custom Ralph Lauren wedding dress which has been made in Italy.

The choice comes after she wore two gowns for her Vegas nuptials including a sleeveless A-line gown by Alexander McQueen, which she originally wore on the poster for Jersey Girl, and an off-the-shoulder dress by Zuhair Murad.

The guest list is set to include multiple A-listers, including Ben's brother Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel and Jennifer's long time friend Drea de Matteo.

Podcaster and celebrity life coach Jay Shetty has reportedly been lined up as the officiant.

Jay, who is a former Hindu monk, officiated the wedding of Lily Collins and Charlie McDowell last year.

The 34-year-old — who has hosted a number of stars on his On Purpose podcast including Khloe Kardashian and Will Smith— is thought to have been close to Jennifer, 53, for a number of years.

The celebrity wedding has been four months in the planning, according to DailyMail.com. Huge marquees are said to have been erected in the grounds of Affleck's estate, with the ceremony expected to take place at the centre of the property.

The couple were first engaged back in 2002 and had been set to marry at Ben's home, before calling off their engagement in 2004.

Affleck put the property up for sale in 2018 for $8.9million. He reduced the price to $7.6million the following year, but he took it off the market in June 2020.

On Thursday security at the property was said to be tight, with a sign instructing guests to have their ID ready to be checked by the security guards.
