A year ago, what was considered one of the most anticipated weddings of all time was celebrated: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck said “yes, I do” at their Georgia farm in front of hundreds of guests. A ceremony that fulfilled the dream of the couple almost two decades after their first engagement, and that brought them together forever in a kind of fairy tale with a more than happy ending in which true love triumphs.
On the occasion of this first dream year, Jennifer Lopez has done something very special, and has shared some unpublished photos of her big day on her Instagram account. In addition, she has shared with her followers a romantic message dedicated to her husband: the tender beginning of a love letter that also hides another secret, and that is that it is an extract from one of the new songs musicals of her
The couple lives on an eternal honeymoon, as they have shown their followers over the last twelve months, and the artist wanted to celebrate it as it deserves. Last Sunday, Jenny from the Block shared on her official Instagram profile two new images of her wedding day, in which you can see the couple very smiling.
Accompanying the images, where you can also see two different dresses that the artist wore on her big day, the singer writes a tender message for the Oscar-winning actor.
“Dear Ben Part 2,” she begins, referencing the first part of the song, Dear Ben, “Sitting here alone, looking at my ring, feeling overwhelmed, makes me want to sing. How we ended up here, without going back. Oh, this is my life.”
A first part, Dear Ben, which could give clues as to what this sequel will be like. The song, which was released in 2002 as part of the album This is Me… Then, was a complete success, as it was a declaration of love from the artist to her then-boyfriend.
“You’re perfect,” she sang to him, “I can’t control myself, I can’t be with anyone else. It seems like I’m addicted to the way you touch me.” An intense and passionate love, which the artist defined as “a manifestation of my dreams”. “I believe that God made you for me”, she assured then, insisting: “I write this song to let you know that you will always be for me. My lust, my love, my man, my son, my friend and my king. I love you. You are perfect”. She also ended by saying that “it’s not possible for me to leave you” and that “sometimes I feel like I’m living in a fantasy.”
On August 20, 2022, the fantasy became reality and the couple walked down the aisle -for the second time, since they had married in Las Vegas weeks before- after being engaged in 2002. The couple later canceled their engagement for blamed for media pressure and rebuilt their lives apart, to get back together 20 years later.
