Jennifer Lopez says she and Ben Affleck waited behind 4 other couples for marriage license and barely made it to the chapel for their Las Vegas wedding

• Jennifer Lopez confirmed that she and Ben Affleck got married in Las Vegas.
• She told fans in her newsletter that they barely made it to the Little White Wedding Chapel on time.

Jennifer Lopez said that she and Ben Affleck just barely made it to the Las Vegas chapel they got married at and the chapel had to stay open past midnight because they arrived so late.

On Sunday, Lopez confirmed via her newsletter On The JLo that she and Affleck tied the knot at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The couple, who first dated in 2002, rekindled their romance almost 20 years later in 2021 and announced their second engagement in April 2022.

In her newsletter, Lopez explained that they flew to Vegas on Saturday and "barely" made it to the chapel by midnight.

"They graciously stayed open late a few minutes, 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)," Lopez wrote.

Before the wedding, the superstar couple said they waited in line behind four other couples to obtain their marriage license in Clark County, Nevada, before heading to Vegas.

"[We] stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world," Lopez said. "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 "Jenny from the Block" singer said that all of their children — Affleck's three kids with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and Lopez's two kids with her ex-husband Marc Anthony — were witnesses to the wedding.

The couple also got changed into their outfits at the chapel in break rooms. Lopez wore a simple white dress "from an old movie," while Affleck wore a tuxedo jacket from his closet.

Although the ceremony was simple, Lopez said it was "the best possible wedding we could have imagined."

She added: "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."
