Say hello to Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck! Nearly 20 years after their first engagement ended, JLo and Ben Affleck have officially tied the knot. “We did it,” Jennifer wrote in her newsletter, On the JLo. “Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient.”

Engaged back in April, the couple shared via newsletter that they flew to Las Vegas on Sunday to make their rekindled romance a sure thing. “Exactly what we wanted. Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey… 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.”

She wore a dress from a movie she did and Ben found a jacket from his closet to whip up the bridal party outfits. Ever the celebs, they made it to The Little White Wedding Chapel barely before midnight to say their vows.

“They even had Bluetooth for a (short) march down the aisle. 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,” reads her newsletter.

With the kids as their witnesses, Bennifer finally tied the knot. Between the two of them, they share five children––a very different picture than when the pair were engaged 18 years ago. Lopez told PEOPLE back in February 2022, “We’re older now, we’re smarter, we have more experience, we’re at different places in our lives, we have kids now, and we have to be very conscious of those things.”

It seems the almost two decades has done the two of them good as they look to the future. “Stick around long enough and maybe you’ll find the best moment of your life in a drive through in Las Vegas at twelve thirty in the morning in the tunnel of love drive through, with your kids and the one you’ll spend forever with. Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for.”
