They had tied the knot in a low-key wedding in Vegas, twenty years after they got engaged for the first time. While the Vegas wedding was an intimate affair, they went all out for the second wedding ceremony, which was celebrated at their 87-acre Georgia estate.

Lopez looked stunning as she walked the aisle in a white couture Ralph Lauren gown and a trailing train. Affleck, on the other hand, donned a white tuxedo suit and formal black pants.

"The ceremony is over," a source shared with the outlet, "and it ended with a kiss."

While all the celebrities on the guest lists were in attendance, it was reported, per People, that Casey Affleck couldn't attend his brother's nuptials with Lopez because of "family, parental obligations at home."

After the nuptials, their close friends and family followed the duo down the aisle. Lopez was flanked by her 14-year-old twins, whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony. Affleck was also joined by his three kids from his marriage to Jennifer Garner: 11-year-old Sam, 13-year-old Seraphina, and 16-year-old Violet. They all donned white outfits as it was the color code.

An insider had previously shared with the outlet that the ceremony was planned by event planner and interior decorator Colin Cowie and presided over by lifestyle guru Jay Shetty.

The festivities weren't all smooth sailing as the groom's mom, Chris Anne Boldt, fell off a dock at her son's estate and injured her leg a few hours before the wedding. The pictures from Daily Mail featured the "Batman" star pacing and smoking a cigarette as he waited for his mom outside the hospital. His wife was also seen pacing with him.

While Affleck wore a purple t-shirt, shorts, and a baseball cap, Lopez was dressed in a gingham summer dress. A source later told the publication that it was luckily "not serious" as the pair were later seen accompanying his mom out of the hospital in a wheelchair with gauze wrapped around her leg.
