Bennifer fans have spent two decades waiting for the power couple to tie the knot and that moment is finally here! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck surprised us all by getting married this weekend in a tiny, private ceremony in Las Vegas.

The news of the couple’s marriage comes only a few months after their engagement in April, but it’s not exactly a shocker. They rekindled their romance two decades after their first engagement and repeatedly spoke about their gratitude for a second chance at love.

Multiple outlets reported that the couple obtained a marriage license in Clark County, Nevada on July 16 and went on to marry at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas. We took this news with a grain of salt until J. Lo herself confirmed it in her “On the JLo” newsletter.

She signed it with “Mrs. Jennifer Lynn Affleck”, confirming that she took Affleck’s last name, and describing their Las Vegas ceremony as “exactly what we wanted” and the “best night of our lives”.

“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,” wrote the singer.
