As reported by the outlet, the source noted that they don’t have a date; still, they both know the kind of ceremony they want. “They talked about it extensively then, and nothing has really changed [since they were engaged the first time] except that they both now have to add more people to their guest list now because they did not have children then,” the source said.

The person informed that Lopez and Affleck would like to include their kids in the wedding parties because they are “becoming like family now.” To make things even more interesting, the singer and the actor want Ben’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, to be among the guests.

“She is a part of Ben’s family, and there is no reason why she wouldn’t be invited,” the source shared. “Whether or not she will go is up to her. She has gotten rather close with J.Lo, and the two of them are on speaking terms for sure. They know that this is important to their children.”

“Jennifer Garner and Ben have been broken up for a very long time, and there is no reason whatsoever that she would be upset about this,” the person said. “She is happy if he is sober and he is doing well, both of which he is and both of which are of utmost importance to JLo. The two women have respect for each other as mothers and as individuals. They are on speaking terms and have had numerous talks. They know that they are going to be a part of each other’s families for life through this marriage.”

The insider also said that the ceremony will “most likely be in Los Angeles” and that it most likely would be in “late summer or fall.”

“This has also been talked about and discussed the first time they were engaged, as they truly feel that there is something greater than themselves that brought them together this time, as well as the first time,” the source shared.
