When Access Hollywood asked the couple about their wedding date, Lopez answered that they “kind of” had a date set.
“We’re working with something,” Affleck said. “We’ll let you know when the time’s appropriate.”
“It’s not gonna be a thing where we’re trying to hide or anything like that,” Lopez clarified. “We’re just … we’re not sure, and we don’t feel the need to let people in on every step of the way because it’s boring.”
Lopez added that she wouldn’t get extensive security for her wedding day. “You want to just have a nice wedding,” she said. “We want to have a beautiful day about what it’s about, and if there happen to be cameras outside, then that’s fine. We’re not going to obsess over that.”
The couple discussed how they felt about the public speculating on their wedding day
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s first engagement caused the public to go wild. During their interview with Access Hollywood, they discussed how they felt about their fans speculating when they’d finally tie the knot.
“There are things that we want, obviously, that we would keep private,” Lopez explained. “We want to keep the day about our family and about us and about what we’re doing and the commitment we’re making. That’s what it’s about, that day. And everything else, you know, the details of the wedding and what gets out and what doesn’t, I won’t obsess over it. I just think it’ll take away from the specialness of what the day is supposed to be.”
Affleck added that rumors will constantly circulate, but he and Lopez ignore them.
