Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are finally married.

Lopez shared the wedding news with her fans via her On the JLo newsletter Sunday, posting sweet details and photos from the ceremony.

The "Marry Me" actress, 52, and the Oscar winner, 49, tied the knot Saturday night at the A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their wedding, which was attended by a small group of friends and family, came just three months after they got engaged for the second time.

"We did it. Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient," Lopez began her post, according to Page Six, adding that their wedding was "exactly what we wanted."

"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," she continued. "Behind us, two men held hands and held each other. In front of us, a young couple who made the three-hour drive from Victorville on their daughter’s second birthday—all of us wanting the same thing— for the world to recognize us as partners and to declare our love to the world through the ancient and nearly universal symbol of marriage."

The "Hustlers" actress said that she and Affleck almost didn't make it to the chapel by midnight, but the venue "graciously stayed open late a few minutes" to accommodate them.

Due to their late arrival, Lopez said they weren't able to get married by Elvis, but they did get the opportunity to take photos in a pink Cadillac convertible "evidently once used by the king himself."

Lopez appeared to have worn two different looks for her nuptials. One was a white, lace off-shoulder long sleeve bridal gown with a sweetheart neckline, corset bodice and fishtail train and a matching veil with lace trim from Zuhair Murad, People reported.

The "Let's Get Loud" singer also wore "something old" that night — a white sleeveless boatneck gown with a quilted texture, according to Page Six.

"So with the best witnesses you could ever imagine, a dress from an old movie and a jacket from Ben's closet, we read our own vows in the little chapel and gave one another the rings we'll wear for the rest of our lives," Lopez wrote in her newsletter.

She shared several photos from the ceremony, including pictures of Affleck in a white tux jacket and black slacks. She also posted a clip of the groom getting ready in a small bathroom with pink walls and scratched mirrors.

Another photo featured Lopez’s daughter Emme in the backseat of their marital convertible, wearing an all-black outfit.

"They were right when they said, 'all you need is love.' We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to," Lopez wrote. "Love is a great thing, maybe the best of things-and worth waiting for."

Lopez said she will use Affleck's last name, which she indicated in a Clark County, Nevada, marriage license obtained by People. She also signed her newsletter "Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck."

Lopez and Affleck first met in 2001 on the set of their movie "Gigli" and began dating in July 2002. They got engaged in November that year but postponed their September 2003 wedding just days before the date. They eventually called off their engagement in January 2004.

The pair rekindled their romance in April 2021 after Lopez called off her wedding to Alex Rodriguez. The singer and Affleck then got engaged for the second time nearly a year later.

Lopez shares 14-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Affleck shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10.
