After Saturday’s ceremony, guests returned on Sunday to toast the newlyweds over brunch.
The couple’s wedding marks the culmination of a love affair that spans more than 20 years. The two met in 2001 while filming the movie Gigli. In November 2002, Ben offered a 6.1 carat pink solitaire diamond from Harry Winston. But the day before the September 2003 ceremony, the couple announced that they had decided to postpone their wedding due to excessive media attention. “When we found ourselves seriously considering hiring three separate ‘decoy wives’ in three different locations, we realized something was wrong,” the couple said in a joint statement at the time. “We began to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives might be compromised. We felt that what should have been a joyous and sacred day might be ruined for us, our families and our friends.
The two officially separated in January 2004. Jennifer married Marc Anthony and had twins, Max and Emme, and Ben married Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children. When those relationships ended, they continued to date others, but eventually returned to each other in April 2021.
