‘Baby I love you U heart and soul’: Inside Bennifer’s $400K ‘old Hollywood-themed’ wedding

Inside Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s $400k old Hollywood-themed wedding where the couple said ‘I do’ on Saturday inside the farmhouse of his $8.9m property filled with Gone with the Wind themed posters and Casablanca-inspired tapestry. 

Exclusive photos obtained by DailyMail.com showcases the Georgia ‘plantation’ wedding venue and the sentimental details as the couple tied the knot with family and friends after doing so privately in Vegas last month. 

Romantic engraved wooden signs hung at the farmhouse wedding reading, ‘Baby, I love u – heart + soul,’ and ‘Love always hopes and always preserves,’ ‘Love always protects, it always trusts,’ and Love never fails,’ complimented the slightly rustic theme of the farmhouse wedding. 

The couple dubbed ‘Bennifer,’ celebrated their love with A-listers, including Matt Damon, while Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, remained a no-show.

To compliment the theme, Lopez wore a stunning white, Ralph Lauren couture gown complete with a long train and veil, while Affleck looked sharp in a complementary white and black tuxedo.

The wedding at Affleck’s mansion was a massive affair that involved months of preparation, including installing dance floors and shipping in glassware, linens and furniture.

Photographs shot of the farmhouse venue showed off old-Hollywood posters and vintage tapestry. A leather couch and velvet chairs for guest to lounge in complemented the rustic look. 

Outside the barn walls, rectangle wooden tables and chairs were arranged with simple oversized white candles as center pieces. A four-tier round wedding cake with a vine sat in the middle of all the tables as black lanterns sat on the outskirts. 

Large fans were placed strategically around the farmhouse to keep guest cool from the Georgia heat as chandeliers with Edison lightbulbs illuminated the scene with more lights hanging off of signs.

Inspired by film classics, ruby colored velvet table clothes dangled on hightop tables where guest enjoyed cocktails served at a wooden bar and cigars after the ceremony.

The wedding at Affleck’s estate comes a month after the couple legally wed in a small Las Vegas ceremony that was kept secret from even some family and friends. 

The house, built in 2000, is an ‘imitation plantation’ mansion in Riceboro, Georgia that overlooks the North Newport River on the private Hampton Island.

Affleck and Lopez were dating when he first bought the estate – but later broke up. 

While Affleck recently put the sprawling 87-acre Georgia property up for sale for $8.9 million, he ultimately decided to keep the home and use it for a glamorous wedding ceremony with beau Lopez. 

The property was originally home to a ‘thriving’ rice plantation known as Hampton Pastures and was owned by Roswell King.

The plantation was worked by slaves and Creek Indians, and the property dates back to before the Civil War.

In fact, the living quarters for the plantation’s slaves were on the very same island the house is on, and an unmarked slave graveyard is located somewhere on the property.

Security was tight around the sprawling 87-acre property ahead of the ceremony. Large security gates were installed at the end of the four-mile road down to Affleck’s sprawling country estate several weeks ago.

On Saturday, a police car sat on the gates while guards busily handed out wrist bands to all comers, their names checked and double-checked against the ‘Master Production’ list.

Aside from Damon, George Clooney, Jane Fonda, Renee Zellweger, and Jimmy Kimmel showed up to support the duo.

The pair’s happy reunion comes 20 years after they first dated and got engaged, only to call-off their wedding in fall 2003, blaming excessive media attention.  

Photos show the happy couple on the steps of the Big House, a plantation-style mansion that is the focal point of the $8.9 million estate.

Lopez, already decked out in her stunning white gown, greeted Affleck affectionately as he ascended the staircase. Following the early kisses and hugs, the couple headed into the home to prepare for the big ceremony.

Sources told DailyMail.com that Lopez requested guests wear white, with the ceremony revealing the color was a clear theme for the wedding.
