Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's second wedding, which will take place at his Georgia mansion, is already in the works.

This second wedding will be more lavish than their "dream wedding" in Las Vegas.

Page Six received photos showing a marquee being installed on the riverside property yesterday as employees worked all day in preparation for Bennifer's second wedding.

JLo and Ben were seen shopping in Georgia with relatives and friends on the same day.

According to the outlet's insider, the three-day private celebration will begin today with a rehearsal supper.

The celebrities will then remarry on Saturday in front of their relatives and friends who were unable to attend their first wedding.

Matt Damon, Jimmy Kimmel, Casey Affleck, and others are reportedly slated to attend, according to Page Six.

Per Hollywood Life, Jennifer Garner, Ben's ex-wife, was reportedly invited but will not attend the celebration.

According to a source, the "Alias" star's job commitment prevents her from attending the couple's wedding.

"Jennifer Garner is working on a project in Texas and will not be attending the wedding party, but she has been supportive of her children's attendance and is generally upbeat about the whole event."

Nothing is more important to her than her children's pleasure, so the fact that they feel welcomed and at ease with the "Hustlers" actress and her children "is absolutely the nicest thing she could wish for."

A second insider told the newspaper that Jennifer had previously congratulated Bennifer on their wedding preparations and informed them that she couldn't attend due to work obligations.

They said that the actor from "Deep Waters" will always consider his ex-family, wife's therefore he invited her. Because the two Jennifers grew closer, the "Jenny From the Block" singer agreed to invite the "13 Going on 30" actress.

"Jennifer understands how much they admire JLo, and she's completely on board with growing close to their new stepmom. Jennifer has best wishes for them and believes it will be a great event."

According to reports, famous life coach Jay Shetty will officiate the wedding, as he and JLo have been friends for several years. The singer-actress even told him about her dating troubles over the years.
