Like Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian earlier this year, Ben Affleck married Jennifer Lopez in an Elvis-themed Vegas ceremony on July 19. Although they had been engaged since April of this year, the couple decided to marry sooner than expected. Bennifer fans are ecstatic about the news, and they’re not the only ones. Even Affleck’s famous ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow had some thoughts about the JLo wedding.

Romantic, indeed.

Ben Affleck married Jennifer Lopez at Little White Wedding Chapel, instead of going all out with celebrities. It didn’t stay quiet for long, though.
