Where has the time gone? It’s been 365 days since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finally exchanged vows in their intimate second wedding at Affleck’s plantation-style manor in Georgia. To celebrate, Bennifer have shared never-before-seen photos from their ceremony.

Though the couple officially wed during an elopement in Las Vegas, the pair hosted an ensuring grandiose wedding on the East Coast. We didn’t pick JLo as an ‘anything goes’ bride who’ll happily get hitched at a random chapel in Vegas—we wonder if her roles in early 2000s romcoms helped cement that view—but it was her three custom dresses and stadium-worthy performance which really proved that point to be true.

Sadly, Lopez didn’t share that video of her intimate concert but rather looked to two romantic images that didn’t make in their official wedding album. Taken by photographer John Russo, Lopez can be seen being carried by Affleck in the gown they exchanged vows in, signalling this picture was snapped as the newlyweds were walking back down the aisle as husband and wife.

A second image featured an ‘after party’ glimpse at the wedding, with Lopez and Affleck kissing in a barn underneath a veil of fireworks. Certainly a ceremony Jane Fonda’s Monster In Law character would approve of.

Accompanying the heartstring-tugging post was a snippet of Lopez’s upcoming love song “Dear Ben Pt. II”.

The lyrics read: Dear Ben, Sitting here alone / Looking at my ring ring / Feeling overwhelmed / It makes me wanna sing sing / How did we end up here / Without a rewind / Oh my / This is my life…”

The song is a follow-up to a single she penned back in 2002 when Lopez and Affleck first dated. The original ‘Dear Ben’ featured on Lopez’ third album “This Is Me…Then,” a project she has recently revisited for the sequel LP “This Is Me…Now”.

In one post, Lopez has managed to throw it back to 2002, promote an upcoming project and celebrate her wedding anniversary… what can’t Jenny from the Block do?
