“I can’t share details because it would be theirs to share,” he said, adding that it was “one of the most beautiful events I’ve ever been present for in my life.”

Ben’s brother, Casey Affleck, who was not able to attend the wedding, wrote a sweet note for Jennifer. “Welcome to the family. Get ready for some real dysfunction! Kidding. I am kidding,” he assured. “Jen, you are a gem,” he concluded. “We love you so much!!!”

The couple was all smiles during their romantic wedding at the actor’s $8.9 million property in Georgia. The bride looked stunning in a Ralph Lauren couture gown, while the groom went for a classic look in a matching black and white tuxedo.

The extravagant and gorgeous dress featured a cut-out back and curve-hugging silhouette, short sleeves and a long, ruffled train, with an incredible 20-foot veil.
