Ben was listed as "Party 1" on the court documents with his full name recorded as Benjamin Geza Affleck. Lopez spilled details about the wedding in a recent newsletter which included pics and videos from the wedding. The newsletter also revealed her new legal name, signing the letter, "Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck." In the letter, Lopez confirmed that the duo flew to Vegas on Saturday, where they “stood in line for a license with four other couples” who had also traveled to “the wedding capital of the world.” “So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben’s 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,” she continues. “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," an excerpt from the newsletter read. Towards the end, she concluded the letter by writing that she is grateful for having the love of her fans and followers as she begins a new chapter with "a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to." Meanwhile, the 52-year-old singer and 49-year-old Affleck famously dated in the early 2000s, before rekindling their romance last year and announcing their engagement. They earlier starred together in 2003’s Gigli and 2004’s Jersey Girl. Around that time, they became engaged but never exchanged wedding vows. Affleck married Jennifer Garner in 2005, with whom he shares three children. They divorced in 2018. While, Loez on the other hand, has been married thrice before.
