Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's children's played sweet role at their wedding

Jennifer Lopez has revealed more details from her wedding day with Ben Affleck and has said that their combined five children had a special role on their big day.

The 53-year-old actress and singer has given another insight to her wedding last month in her newsletter, On the JLo, which dropped at the end of last week.

She said that her and husband Ben, 50, children walked down the aisle before Jennifer before playing a sweet role for the rest of the big day.

JLo wrote in her newsletter: "We weren’t only marrying one another; we were marrying these children into a new family.

“They were the only people we asked to stand up for us in our wedding party. To our great honour and joy, each one did.”

She also revealed that her new husband read of her "favourite lines" from a movie that he had directed.

Ben delivered the line, from his 2016 film Live by Night: "This is heaven. Right Here. We’re in it now."

Jennifer added more details about the line, writing: “He also said it the night of our wedding reception in his speech, and I thought...how perfect."

She went on say that the wedding "really was heaven" despite having to tackle some "unexpected setbacks".

The couple had previously been engaged in the early 2000s but never got to walking down the aisle and now that this has happened in front of friends and family, she wrote that "nothing ever felt more right to me."

Jennifer continued: “I knew we were finally ‘settling down’ in a way you can only do when you understand loss and joy and you are battle tested enough to never take the important things for granted.

“Years ago, we had no idea the road ahead would mean navigating so many labyrinths and hold so many surprises, blessings, and delights.

"It all culminated in this moment, one of the most perfect of our lives. We couldn’t have been happier.”
