Twenty years after they first got engaged, Bennifer has just got married for the second time. The first ceremony was in Las Vegas, where the bride wore two dresses, but that was the mere warm-up act to last weekend's celebration in Georgia.

Arriving in fans' inboxes via On The JLo, Lopez revealed not one, not two but three wedding dresses from Ralph Lauren, the designer that she wore to this year's Met Gala. The first gown was a turtleneck column dress with a (seriously) dramatic ruffle hem, made using 500m of fabric. The photo of the superstar singer gazing into the mirror, the train spread around her, is definitely one for the bedside table.

Dress number two was adorned with thousands of pearls - and took 30 artisans 700 (yes, 700) hours to hand-embroider with micro-pleats of silk tulle, tiny pearls and crystals from Swarovski.

Last, but definitely not least, was the mermaid-tail gown with a keyhole neckline studded with crystals. As the final dress, this might have been the one she wore for her first dance (or second first dance) with Mr Affleck.

Rewinding to Las Vegas, the wedding announcement also came via the singer's newsletter, with the subject line: 'We did it'.

'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,' she wrote. That's right. This celebrity's wedding dress was also her 'something old'. J.Lo posted a collage of pictures in the newsletter, which clearly shows not two but two dresses. The first is a simple white style with an ever-so-slight racer neckline and a cinched waist. But where might you have seen it before is the question?

As fans will know, J.Lo's walked down the aisle several times on screen. In The Wedding Planner, she wore a simple boat-neck wedding dress that finishes just below the knee to wed Massimo (or not, as it turns out), which has drawn comparisons to Meghan Markle's. And in her most recent rom-com, Marry Me, she wears the most spectacularly spangled wedding dress by one of her favourite designers IRL, Zuhair Murad. Neither looks like the first dress so it must be from another film (we can't confirm the following but our money's on either Gigli or Jersey Girl, both of whom starred her future husband Mr Affleck).

The second, however, which from the pictures looks like it comprises a strapless lace corset and matching sleeves, is new-season Murad. Ben, meanwhile, wore an old jacket from his wardrobe in another low-key touch. Stay tuned to see what they wear on their honeymoon.

J.Lo is clearly a fan of emerald-cut diamonds.

Ben Affleck

For her second engagement to Ben Affleck, J.Lo was surprised with a natural green diamond (much lighter than an emerald) from Ben Affleck. She announced the news via her website OnTheJLo.com, where the singer, according to _[People](https://people.com/style/jennifer-lopez-green-engagement-ring-ben-affleck/){ =_blank}__,_ gave a previous cue as to why her fiancé might have chosen green: 'I always say the color green is my lucky color. Maybe you can remember a certain green dress. I've realized there are many moments in my life where amazing things happened when I was wearing green.'
