Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck wed on Saturday at his sprawling estate in Georgia in front of 135 people.

And on Wednesday UsWeekly claimed that the 50-year-old groom became emotional when giving a speech to his new wife, 53-year-old JLo.

The Argo star and director referenced his 2002 engagement to the Marry Me singer, noting that they didn't walk down the aisle 20 years ago for a reason.

The Batman actor said that they did not marry the first time because they needed to have their respective children.

Lopez has Max and Emme, 14, with ex-husband Marc Anthony and Affleck has Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Sam, 10, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. 

A source told the site: 'Ben made an impassioned speech professing his love for Jennifer and her kids and said the children are the blessing and gift that happened because they didn't get married before and that is proof that everything happens for a reason.'

Ben and Jen became engaged 20 years ago but they called off their nuptials in 2003.

The children were a big part of the couple's weekend wedding.

A source told People, 'Jennifer loved having all the kids there. She loved the location. It all felt very special. It was a dream for her.'

Now she will be stop-mom to his three kids. 

This is not the first time Lopez will play the role of stepmother.

When she wed Anthony she became stepmom to his kids Ariana, 28, and Chase, whose mother is Debbie Rosado; and Cristian, 21,and Ryan, 19, whose mother is Dayanara Torres. 

The new Mr and Mrs Affleck are living at a rental in Beverly Hills until the remodel on Lopez's old Bel Air, California mansion is done.

It is not known if all the kids will go to the same school as they are almost all teens with the exception of Samuel.

The wedding was spectacular with an 'old Hollywood-theme, revealed DailyMail over the weekend.

Stylist Courtney Victor added, 'They all seemed like such a happy and cohesive family unit. She is absolutely flawless. It's unbelievable how beautiful she is.'

And the Bronx born beauty loves being Mrs Affleck.

'She keeps saying "my husband" and it's very cute,' the insider said.

On Tuesday Lopez gave fans a look at her wedding dresses which were custom made by Ralph Lauren for his couture line.

She wore a total of three dresses in all, she shared with OnTheJLo.

There was one with a high neck and long train, another with a keyhole in front and a third with strands of pearls draped down her body.

The gowns are estimated to cost about $1 million each. 

The weekend wedding event came after the couple got married in Las Vegas in July.

She wore a white gown for that wedding as well and her kids were in attendance.
