JAKARTA - Celebrity couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck on Saturday (20/8) local time held a lavish wedding party at the home of the "Good Will Hunting" star, US media reported, quoted by AFP.

The Hollywood couple got married in Las Vegas in mid-July, but made it official again, this time for a party with friends and family held at Affleck's 35-acre waterfront home in Georgia, United States.

Among the Hollywood stars who attended the wedding included longtime friend Affleck, Matt Damon and director Kevin Smith, People Magazine reported.

Guests wore all white while Lopez wore an Italian-made Ralph Lauren gown, according to Fox News.

Images uploaded by celebrity gossip site TMZ ahead of the wedding show dinner seating arranged on a large covered pier, with a large barge for fireworks floating nearby.

The couple, 50-year-old Affleck and 53-year-old Lopez, first met on the set of the much-highlighted film "Gigli" in 2002.

They became a media sensation while dating but postponed their planned wedding in 2003, then announced their relationship was ending in early 2004.

"Bennifer", the public's nickname for the couple, shocked the public when photos of them started circulating again last year.

Lopez and Affleck announced their engagement in April. Lopez uploaded a video of herself being emotional and admiring the green ring through her newsletter, "On the JLo". US media reported that the ring was a pale green diamond made of emerald.

This is Lopez's fourth marriage and Affleck's second. Lopez discussed her new relationship with Affleck in an interview with People in February.

"This is such a beautiful love story that we got a second chance," said Jennifer Lopez.
