It sounds like the couple are finally going to get their dream wedding celebration
Just a month after J Lo and Ben Affleck finally tied the knot at a small chapel in Las Vegas, the pair are throwing an extravagant three-day affair for their family and friends.
We knew a wedding party was on the cards, but sources close to the couple have now shared the exciting details of the event.
Speaking to TMZ, a source revealed that the bash will take place at Ben’s home in the coastal town of Riceboro, Georgia.
Apparently, the plantation-style property was where the couple had planned to host their original wedding 20 years ago, before they called off the engagement. However, at the time reports claimed the event would take place in Santa Barbara.
The property includes the main 557 square meters mansion, with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms, plus a small cottage and a larger Oyster House.
The property is considered one of the “crown jewels” along the coast of Georgia, according to Homes & Gardens. With a veranda overlooking the river, pinewood flooring, high ceilings and enormous arched fireplaces, it boasts all the stunning features associated with a classic Southern mansion.
