Ben Affleck poured his heart out while giving his wedding speech on his wedding day. He addressed his wife Jennifer Lopez and her children during the celebration with family and friends at his Riceboro, Georgia, estate on July 16, 2022. He gave an “impassioned speech” told a source to US Weekly. The source said, “Ben made an impassioned speech professing his love for Jennifer and her kids and said the children are the blessing and gift that happened because they didn’t get married before and that is proof that everything happens for a reason.”
Ben quoted in his speech, “This is heaven. Right Here. We’re in it now.” Jennifer already turned into a puddle while hearing this from Ben, a source noted. Lopez explained that the quote is from Ben’s film. She specified, “That is one of my favourite lines that Ben wrote from a movie he directed called ‘Live By Night.'” This wedding could not get any more perfect, the singer thought to herself.
Jennifer Lopez’s Surprise To Ben Affleck
The singer shared that it was not just Ben who surprised her in the most perfect way. She revealed that she incorporated a song that is close to their hearts in the ceremony. “Ben and I talked about Marc Cohn’s ‘True Companion’ as the perfect wedding love song in this very house more than twenty years ago,” Jennifer exclaimed.
Ben did not know that JLo asked Marc to surprise them at their wedding. She said that she walked down the aisle whilst Marc played ‘The Things We’ve Handed Down.‘ The song was fitting as her 14-year-old twins, Emme and Max, and Ben’s kids Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, walked before her at the event. “A song about the wonderful mystery of children,” J.Lo recalled, “Something we could only guess at back then, but it was the perfect choice as our five children preceded me on the walk.” The wonderful couple is now enjoying their honeymoon with each other and fans are showering their wishes all over social media.
