On Saturday night, a couple waited in line to get married at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas. She’d used the break room to change into a dress from an old movie; he’d thrown on an old jacket in the men’s room. The clock struck midnight and, after walking down the aisle to the wedding march courtesy of a Bluetooth speaker, they officially became husband and wife. The newlyweds? Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.
It might sound like an unusual celebrity wedding. But given the romantic trajectory of Lopez and Affleck – or “Bennifer”, as they’re known – it was a fitting celebration, one that defied tradition, ditching pomp and pageantry for kitsch and spontaneity.
