In one video, she twirls for the camera and the person filming says: “Oooh! Someone's getting married!”
It seems the wedding was an impromptu decision. According to People magazine, the couple flew to the desert city in Nevada and wed at a chapel late on Saturday.
A marriage licence dated Saturday, July 16, was obtained in their name from Clark County, according to details posted by the county clerk's office.
A second video, shot by Affleck and shared by Lopez , was filmed in a small public toilet. After panning the room, he focuses on himself in the mirror and says: “This was my wedding changing area.”
The pair, widely known as “Bennifer”, have married 20 years after they first started dating in 2002 . They were engaged but broke up in 2004. In the years after, they both married other partners.
