Feeling the love! Jay Shetty was honored to officiate Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s second wedding ceremony — but he had some trouble holding it together.
“The No. 1 thing that was going through my mind was, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry.’ Because I’m a full-on crier,’” Shetty, 35, told Variety in an interview published on Wednesday, February 1. “I was just talking myself down. So I had to just pull myself together because … every part of me just wanted to sob full of love.”
Lopez, 53, and Affleck, 50, tied the knot three times in summer 2022 — with their second set of nuptials taking place in Georgia surrounded by their family and friends. Over 150 guests attended the event at the Argo director’s estate including longtime pal Matt Damon. The couple’s children — Max and Emme, 14, whom Lopez shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, and Violet, 17, Samuel, 14, and Seraphina, 10, whom Affleck shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — also joined in on the celebration.

Last night we flew to Vegas, stood in line for a license with four other couples, all making the same journey to the wedding capital of the world.”
Following the low-key ceremony, an insider told Us that the duo planned to have a bigger party with a larger group of their friends and family, noting that their choice to elope was a long time
