She added that Ben said these romantic lines during his wedding reception speech. “He also said it the night of our wedding reception in his speech, and I thought…how perfect.”
In the newsletter, the singer-actor also revealed that she surprised Ben incorporating a song that is close to their hearts in the ceremony.

“Ben and I talked about Marc Cohn’s ‘True Companion’ as the perfect wedding love song in this very house more than twenty years ago. Though Ben didn’t know, I asked Marc to surprise him singing it at our wedding.”
She recounted that she walked down the aisle with Marc’s ‘The Things We’ve Handed Down’ playing as her twins Emme and Max and Ben’s kids Violet, Seraphina and Samuel walked before her.

“A song about the wonderful mystery of children…something we could only guess at back then, but it was the perfect choice as our five children preceded me on the walk,” JLo wrote.
Revealing Ben’s reaction to her surprise, she added: “Ben told me that the chords of the song and seeing Marc Cohn both shocked him and allowed him to feel the way both roads we had walked found their way, inevitably, inexorably, and perfectly together.”
