Plans are in motion at Ben Affleck’s Georgia estate for the actor’s second wedding to Jennifer Lopez this weekend following their Las Vegas ceremony last month.
A marquee was seen being constructed on the riverfront property Thursday as employees toiled throughout the day in preparation for the star-studded ceremony.
Their three-day “intimate celebration for family and friends” will kick off with a rehearsal dinner on Friday, our insider shared.
The actors will tie the knot Saturday, this time in front of family and celebrity pals that couldn’t make the first wedding such as Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, Casey Affleck and Drea de Matteo, all of whom are expected to attend.
The couple already tied the knot during a Las Vegas ceremony in July, with Lopez taking to her “On The JLo” newsletter to gush over their sin city nuptials.
“Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world,” she shared with her subscribed fans.
“Behind us two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage.”
The pair met in 2001 on the set of their movie “Gigli” while Lopez was still married to her second husband Cris Judd. Following their June 2002 separation, “Bennifer” was born, with Affleck initially proposing in 2002. Unfortunately, they split and didn’t quite make it down the aisle.
Lopez went on to marry Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Max and Emme while Affleck married Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares daughters Violet and Seraphina and son Samuel.
Both relationships ended in divorce, eventually leading the pair back to one another in 2021 following Lopez’s broken engagement with former Yankee Alex Rodriguez.
The “Saving Private Ryan” star and the “Enough” actress honeymooned in Paris after their Vegas ceremony.
