Hair: Styled in loose curls with lots of volume, cascading over her shoulders
and adorned with a long veil.
Vows: Taking place just 4 days after Marc’s divorce (from Dayanara Torres)
was finalised, the wedding was kept so secret that even family and friends thought
they were being invited to a back garden awards party at the singer’s house. They
arrived to find white tents, an altar and the couple ready to make their vows.
After the ceremony blue, white and pink balloons were released into the sky.
Dress by: Vera Wang – ruffled lace dress, long veil, also carried a matching
parasol to fend off paparazzi cameras.

a necklace and bracelet

Reception: Jennifer’s Beverly Hills home, LA
First dance: Their wedding song was Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”
Honeymoon: A week after the wedding, the couple slipped away for a brief
honeymoon at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. Ironically, the
venue was the same retreat that J.Lo had planned to honeymoon with Ben Affleck
the previous year, before the wedding was called off at the last moment. J.Lo
and Marc even slept in the same bed that would have welcomed Jennifer and Ben.
They stayed in the Kennedy Suite (£1,050 per night), named after the ranch’s famous
honeymoon couple John F. and Jackie Kennedy.
Number of guests: 40-50
Special guests: ex-flame P. Diddy
Engagement: Jennifer wears an 8 carat square cut diamond on her middle
finger, but has previously denied it was an engagement ring from Marc.
Where did they meet? Jennifer had worked with Marc in music videos and
they briefly dated in the late 1990’s, before his first marriage and her second.
They went on to record a duet together in 2004, Marc was by then separated from
his wife.
History: Jennifer has been married twice before. First to Cuban-born waiter
Ojani Noa in 1997, they divorced in 1998. Her second marriage was to her back-up
dancer Cris Judd, they divorced in 2003. She was engaged to actor Ben Affleck
for just over a year, wearing a huge 6-carat pink diamond ring, reportedly worth
£600,000. However, the marriage was called off just hours to the event. Jennifer
was seen with Marc Anthony a few months later.
Marc has been married once before to former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres, they have two sons.
Jennifer gave birth to twins Max and Emme in February 2008. They were introduced to the world in an issue of People Magazine for which the sum of £4 million was paid to Jennifer.
October 2008 – the couple renewed their wedding vows Caesars Palace Forum Tower Penthouse.
Marc said the suite was so beautiful that it deserved its own zip code – he thought it was perfect. We hope he remembered to compliment his bride too! Jennifer chose a black dress and just 12 people witnessed the ceremony. Even her parents missed it, as they were on babyminder duties!
The vows were exchanged after a private dinner and some time spent in a casino!
