Smith added of the ceremony: “I was happy for him. And they were happy, you could tell. They worked hard to get here, they earned it, and it was so nice. They had a great day for it.”

“I’m a crier,” he confessed. “I cry all the time. I cry watching episodes of ‘The Flash.’ I cry watching ‘Degrassi’ for heaven’s sake.

“But I bawled throughout because it was goddamn beautiful. So beautiful.”

The couple previously married in Las Vegas in July before staging the lavish celebration at Affleck’s property in Georgia.

Guests also included Affleck’s three children from his marriage to Jennifer Garner – Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and 10-year-old Samuel – and Lopez’s 14-year-old twins Max and Emme from her marriage to Marc Anthony.

The 53-year-old bride wore a white Ralph Lauren couture gown complete with a long train and veil, while Affleck, 50, wore a black and white tuxedo. Photographs showed the pair hugging at a waterside jetty at the mansion, with a fireworks display from a lake at the property.

The marriage comes 20 years after the couple dated and got engaged, only to call off their nuptials in 2003.
