- By ZAI KAMAL

OVER the weekend, Jennifer Lopez, 53, and Ben Affleck, 50, said “I do” again, this time in front of family members and close friends.

The wedding was held at Affleck’s US $8.9 mil (RM40mil) mansion in Riceboro, Georgia, the United States.

Fans of the Latina singer are especially curious with what she would wear for the wedding weekend. After all, even for her quickie Las Vegas nuptials to Affleck last month, Lopez changed outfits twice!

The celebratio­n started on Friday (Aug 19) with a rehearsal and ended on Sunday with a post-wedding brunch.

According to Vogue ,the Jenny From The Block hitmaker wore three dresses – all by US designer Ralph Lauren – on her wedding day on Aug 20.

The wedding gown she wore to walk down the aisle was a turtleneck column dress that’s made from more than 1,000 handkerchi­efs and 500m of fabric.

According to the fashion bible, Affleck wore a white tuxedo jacket paired with black pants and a black bow tie by Ralph Lauren.

Their five children (she has two, he has three) also wore outfits by the same label.

After the ceremony – which was presided by celebrity life coach Jay Shetty – Lopez changed two more times for the dinner and dance portion of the celebratio­n.

“Jennifer later wore two additional dresses by Ralph Lauren, one featuring cascading strings of pearls and the other with a mermaid silhouette and Swarovski-crystal-embellishe­d keyhole neckline,” reported Vogue.

Actor Matt Damon and director Kevin Smith were among the 135 guests invited to the three-day affair.

Lopez and Affleck dated when they met on the set of their movie, Gigli in 2002.

They planned to marry in 2003 but postponed the nuptials and subsequent­ly announced their relationsh­ip was over in 2004. They started dating again last year after Lopez broke up with Alex Rodriguez.

On July 16, the Lopez and Affleck married at a late-night drivethrou­gh chapel in Las Vegas.

The Selena actress informed her fans of her marriage through her newsletter, On The JLo.
