Vegas wedding was always in the cards for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.

After Daly suggests the couple use a private plane and get married mid-air, Lopez makes a suggestion of her own. «Vegas,» she blurts out, effectively predicting her nuptials to Affleck, 20 years early.While Lopez and Affleck did not tie the knot until this past weekend, holding a surprise ceremony in Vegas, their wedding was years in the making, with the pair first getting engaged in 2002.
