She continued, “I probably would have had many of the same thoughts if I hadn’t been so focused on not tripping over my dress, but once I got close enough to see his face, it did the same for me wonderful sense.”
“Some old wounds were healed that day and the burden of the past was finally lifted from our shoulders. The circle closes – and not at all as we had planned. Better,” gushed the Let’s Get Loud hitmaker.
The blushing bride chose to describe her wedding reception by sharing a quote by Affleck for his 2016 film Live By Night, which read, “This is heaven. Exactly here. We’re in now.’

Before the ceremony, Lopez revealed that “it had been raining by sunset every day this week,” and everyone was concerned about the heat, the likelihood of thunder and lightning, and whether they would “all” recover in time from the upset stomach in this family caught week.
Despite other concerns about the “unexpected setbacks,” Lopez insisted she “never had a doubt.”
“All week I felt that calm and easy knowing that we are in God’s hands,” she gushed. “Saturday, August 20, at six forty-five the sun broke out, casting its rays like tiny diamonds that danced across the river behind the makeshift altar in our backyard.”

Ahead of her rehearsal dinner, the JLo Beauty founder admitted that at her age, she and Ben “had a laugh about getting married again the night before.”
“We’ve both been married before and we’re not really kids anymore, but somehow we just seemed like the only age that made sense now,” she explained.
She went on to tell readers that she was inspired by Rainer Marie Rilke’s poem Letters to a Young Poet, about being ready for love and how “giving happiness and love becomes more joyful than receiving it “.

Just Perfect: Despite other concerns about the “unexpected setbacks,” Lopez insisted she “never had a doubt.”
“All week I felt that calm and easy knowing that we are in God’s hands,” she gushed. “On Saturday, August 20, at 6:45 a.m., the sun broke loose, casting its rays like tiny diamonds that danced across the river behind the makeshift altar in our backyard.”
“The truth is that everyone’s story is different and we all have to find our own ways. No two people are the same. But for us, it was perfect timing.” Lopez added, nodding to their April 2021 revival, almost 20 years after their paths parted following their first engagement.
The ‘Maid In Manhattan’ actress continued: “Nothing has ever felt more right to me and I knew we were finally settling down in a way that only understanding loss and joy and understanding loss and joy can do and is battle-hardened enough never to let the important things go for granted or let the silly, insignificant annoyances of the day stand in the way of embracing every precious moment.’
“We are in that long-awaited time of life: to have gratitude for everything life has shown us, even its trials and tribulations. That night was truly heavenly,” she marveled.
The morning after saying “yes,” the couple hosted a “delicious brunch by the lake.”
For the meal, which she wanted to have a “down-to-earth, rustic, country-chic” vibe, Lopez wore a blue-and-white striped dress and a floppy hat.
“Years ago we had no idea that the path ahead would mean navigating so many mazes and holding so many surprises, blessings and joys,” she concluded. “Everything culminated in that moment, one of the most perfect of our lives. We couldn’t have been happier. I wish you all the same kind of happiness… the hard-earned kind that’s all the sweeter for the journey that lay ahead.’
