Zack Sharf Being an actor sure comes in handy when it comes time to make a wedding speech. Jennifer Lopez revealed in her “On the JLo” newsletter that Ben Affleck slipped a line of dialogue he wrote for his 2016 directorial effort “Live By Night” into his wedding speech to her.

Fortunately, the line was one of Lopez’s favorites from Affleck’s career as a writer-director. The line of dialogue reads: “This is heaven.

Right Here. We’re in it now.” “That is one of my favorite lines that Ben wrote from a movie he directed called ‘Live By Night,” Lopez wrote in a newsletter post titled “Wedding Weekend. “He also said it the night of our wedding reception in his speech, and I thought…how perfect.” Lopez elaborated more on her wedding weekend to Affleck, writing about several hiccups the couple encountered in the days leading up to the event. “It had rained at sunset every day that week,” she wrote. “Everyone was worried about the heat, the aptly named ‘love bugs,’ the details, would the guests all arrive on time, etc. — not to mention the thunder and lightning that arrived almost on cue each day at the exact time the ceremony was supposed to start that Saturday.

Oh, and all of us caught a stomach bug and were recuperating ‘til late in the week, that, and along with a few other unexpected setbacks, had all the makings of a doozie of a wedding weekend.” While Lopez and Affleck starred together in films such as “Gigli” and “Jersey Girl,” he opted instead to quote his own directorial effort “Live By Night” during his wedding speech instead.
