Judi tells the Mirror: "This wedding has been a long time coming and both Ben and Jen have been down some pretty tangled routes to get back to where they started from with their first engagement twenty years ago.
"Jennifer’s optimistic and besotted body language in these wedding snaps suggest she’s doubt-free in terms of their re-kindled love."
Judi adds that while their romance ended in tears 17 years ago, J Lo is certain about her romance with Ben now.

She suggests: "It ended badly for her the first time around but her eye-softened smiles suggest that sad ending has now officially been erased and this happy one put in its place.
"With her hands on her waist, twirling about in her wedding dress, Jennifer looks like a young, first-time bride.
"She’s clearly excited and ecstatically happy, with no nods to any playing it down because she has been married before.
"Posing in her dress she arches her back, throws an open-mouthed smile and tilts her head back to expose her throat to signal open devotion to a man that she trusts.
"She seems to be going into this marriage with an air of almost 'first-time' optimism rather than showing any hints of wariness or cynicism that could have been prompted by her relationship history.

"Ben puts in slightly less of a performance in these photos although the way he tilts his head down against hers for the selfie suggests trust too.
"His facial expression looks softened into what is called 'the look of love' but it is Ben’s job to sell his own emotions a little more.
"Jen was said to be heartbroken after their split and Ben’s body language did often look a little arrogant back in the day, meaning it should be Ben pitching the message that he’s besotted and totally up for it this time around."

"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)."
