{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage certificate can be seen for the first time.
The certificate confirms that Lopez requested to have her name legally changed to Jennifer Affleck. Pastor Ryan Wolfe performed the marriage at The Little White Chapel on July 17, according to the document obtained by Fox News Digital.
Kenosha Booth was listed as the witness for the marriage.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Affleck's full name is listed on the certificate: Ben Geza Affleck. The "Deep Water" star once spoke about the origin of his middle name during a speech he gave for the Writers Guild of America.
"My parents named me after a Hungarian friend of theirs named Geza," he said (via The Daily Beast). "When I got to be in the fourth or fifth grade, I threw a huge fit and I was like, ‘You are the worst namer of people in the world!’…Everybody calls me, ‘Ben-Gay’… This was way before being gay was as cool as it is now."
"My mom told me that Geza was a friend of hers who died around the time I was born. He was a Holocaust survivor from Hungary and he was the most exceptional person she knew. He had leapt from a train during the Holocaust taking Jews to the death camps, and he went back to save several other people to try to break them out.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"She told me 6 million Jews were murdered and that men like him, brave and selfless, were what stood between us and the evil that people were capable of doing to one another. That name has never been anything short of a tremendous honor to me since that day. I came to understand and better identify with the suffering of others."
