Where did Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez get married?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez hosted their second wedding celebration with friends and family at Ben Affleck's Savannah home. The couple tied the knot on Saturday 20 August 2022 at the 50-year-old actor's estate in Riceboro, Georgia.

It seems Ben Affleck's life has come full circle.

The Argo actor, who recently married Jennifer Lopez after they famously rekindled their romance last year, initially bought his sprawling, 35-hectare Georgia estate in 2003, when the couple were first dating.

It was reported at the time that they were planning to build a wedding chapel on the property, but that never happened, as the pair called off their first engagement in 2004.

Now, the couple chose the Hampton Island home, which is referred to as the Big House, as the location for their second wedding, a lavish affair that took place on Saturday.

It comes one month after their first and more spontaneous wedding in Las Vegas, during which Lopez wore a dress by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad, following a rising trend of people hosting more than one wedding event, such as Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, who also wed first in Sin City.

Affleck first purchased the property for $7.11 million. He then put it on the market in 2018 for $8.9m, cutting that by 15 per cent in 2019, to $7. 6m, but he didn't end up selling it.

The mansion, about 45 minutes south of Savannah, is a re-creation of a Southern antebellum Greek Revival plantation home, according to the property listing by Engel & Volkers. It overlooks the North Newport River, "considered one of the Crown Jewels of Georgia's coast".

The two-storey house is spread over 6,000 square feet and has a veranda that looks over the river.

It comes with three bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half-bathroom, a private deep-water dock that's home to a boat called Pilar, as well as historically accurate details such as 4.5-metre ceilings, arch fireplaces and pine floors.

Also part of the estate is the Summer Cottage, a single-storey home with a metal roof and prep kitchen that's built specifically for the owners to entertain during the summer.

Then there's the Oyster House, a 10,000-square-foot wooden property with three master suites and five bedrooms with bunk beds "salvaged from marine vessels".

The island it all sits on measures about 1,821 hectares and is also home to an equestrian centre, several cottages for members, a helipad, a farm area and two spas.

At the moment, it's awash with security, as the couple host their wedding celebrations among family and friends. Guards reportedly blocked the entrance to the enclave where Affleck’s estate is located, and a five-kilometre no-fly zone was implemented by authorities, reported The Daily Mail. Security boats were also spotted patrolling the nearby river.

The nuptials took place during a three-day weekend of festivities, with British-Indian life coach Jay Shetty, a former Hindu monk, officiating at the ceremony, for which Lopez wore a custom couture Ralph Lauren dress.

Guests included director Kevin Smith, who posted a photo of himself at the event, as well as Affleck's long-time friend, actor Matt Damon.

Affleck’s children — Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, who he co-parents with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — were also there, alongside Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, 14, who she shares with former husband Marc Anthony.

While the happy couple clearly decided the property was the perfect spot for their lavish ceremony, they have been house-hunting in Los Angeles for months. They were spotted in April touring The Manor, the 123-roomed Los Angeles mega-mansion built by TV mogul Aaron Spelling.

The Daily Mail reported that Lopez and Affleck toured the 56,500-square-foot property, which was said to be on the market for $165m, after their previous choice, a $55m home in Bel Air, fell through.

Built on the site of the home previously owned by the late White Christmas actor, Bing Crosby, The Manor was the childhood home of actress Tori Spelling.

Affleck and Lopez didn't buy the Spelling manor and it was later reported they'd purchased a massive Beverly Hills mansion that once sold for $60m. Now, however, they've said they're not buying a new place at all, and instead renovating Lopez's $28m Bel-Air home.

The pair, widely known as Bennifer, have married 20 years after they first started dating in 2002. They were engaged but broke up in 2004. In the years after, they both married other partners.

In May last year, they went public as a couple once again and announced their second engagement in April.

“Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient. Exactly what we wanted,” Lopez said in the newsletter.

The newsletter was signed “Mrs Jennifer Lynn Affleck".

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have faced a wave of negativity towards them. Users expressed their dissatisfaction with the place where the wedding ceremony took place.

The celebration took place last weekend at Affleck's residence in Georgia. It turned out that before the civil war of 1861-65, the house was a "thriving rice plantation" on which slaves worked. The place was called Hampton Pastures.

In addition, the ancestors of the Gone Girl actor were famous slave owners. And no matter how he tries to hide this information, the Internet remembers everything. That is why many were not delighted that Ben and Jennifer decided to celebrate their wedding in a "place of oppression."

The co-editor of Slavery and Freedom in Savannah told Page Six that she was shocked that Bennifer would take such a rash step. “With their resources, they could get married anywhere else. As far as I remember, Ben was ashamed of his slave-owning ancestors. And now, with complete disrespect for the slaves, he is celebrating a colonial-style wedding where they once suffered, ”said Leslie Harris.

Fans hoped that Affleck and Jennifer could avoid this fate and not hold the ceremony on the former plantation. In 2012, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, who also celebrated their wedding in a place where slaves once worked, faced negativity.

Hollywood actors have assured that they deeply regret that they had a wedding on the territory of a former plantation. According to Blake, she was provided with beautiful references, which were implemented on the filmed territory. But after the actress found out where they had their wedding, she felt uneasy. Lively is still ashamed of what he did.
