“Ben bought the property 20 years ago when they were engaged first time around,” the source tells PEOPLE of the couple, who were first engaged in 2002 and split in 2004

“They have a special connection there, and his 50th birthday was last week so it made sense to do it there and then,” the source adds.

The wedding celebrations were also attended by JLo’s 14-year-old twins Emme and Max and Affleck’s children Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10.
