Jennifer Lopez Performed At Her Wedding
The ‘Papi‘ singer could not take a night off at her wedding and decided to perform on the special night of her life. She engaged in an exclusive performance for her guests.
According to Page Six, a press release from jewelry designer Mikimoto announced this news. It stated that the 53-year-old artist wore the brand’s Prestige White South Sea Cultured Pearl Earrings with Diamonds set in Platinum. Its estimated cost is $53,000.
A video of Jennifer performing with backup dancers and singers in front of guests has gone viral. She performed a new song for Ben, who sat alone in a chair as she serenaded him.
For the reception, Jennifer wore a shiny outfit. It was created by thirty artisans who spent 700 hours hand-embroidering the cloth with micro-pleats of silk tulle, small pearl embellishments, and Swarovski crystals. It was one of three Ralph Lauren dresses she wore to her three-day wedding ceremony that took place in a plantation-style home.
Bennifer Face Backlash For Their Wedding Venue
Bennifer’s said their wedding vows for the second time last weekend at the ‘Aro’ actor’s 87-acre compound situated outside of Savannah, Georgia.
Since then, several people on social media have been calling out the star couple for their ceremony in a “plantation-style” home.
Writer and journalist Monisha Rajesh tweeted, “Does that mean it’s also got coded graves of his ancestors’ slaves as well? Curious.”

Another user also slammed the couple for the same. They wrote: “Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck getting married at a plantation when any Dunkin in New England,” the coffee chain Affleck is known to frequent, “would’ve hosted the wedding free of charge?”

Contrary to the belief, Affleck’s estate is not really a plantation home. Its location history and revival design are similar to plantation houses where slaves worked.
