Someone broke the agreement.

Jennifer Lopez is speaking out against a guest at her wedding to Ben Affleck that broke a key rule the couple had in place.
Lopez, 53, and Affleck, 50, celebrated their recent nuptials on August 20, after tying the knot in a private Las Vegas ceremony in July.
While the singer did give fans a sneak peek of her dress and shared some other images of the Georgia event, guests were required to keep other details of the big day a secret — until one guest allegedly broke that rule!
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made guests sign an NDA — which someone broke by posting a video of their wedding.
After footage leaked of Lopez performing for Affleck and their guests, the singer hit back at the guest who she claims "sold" video without her consent.
"This was taken without permission. Period. And whoever did it took advantage of our private moment. I don't know where you all are getting it from bc we had ndas [non-disclosure agreements] and asked everyone to not share anything from our wedding," Lopez wrote on Instagram — responding to a video shared by a fan account that was originally sold to the media.
She continued saying it should've been her moment to share, not somebody else.
"Anything I put out private is OnTheJLO and it's to share w my fans," she wrote in reference to images she shared on her website.
"Which I will do when I am ready to. This was stolen without our consent and sold for money. Thank you for caring I love you guys."
In the video, Jennifer Lopez serenaded Ben Affleck with her new song.
Affleck is seated in front of his bride while she sings her song "Can't Get Enough" for him before asking their guests to join in.
"All night / I can feel the passion / in your eyes / I'm still in love with you," Lopez sings, accompanied by backup dancers.
The event was attended by 100 guests, according to PEOPLE, at the actor's 87-acre compound on Hampton Island Preserve in Georgia — though Affleck's own brother, Casey was notably absent.
The lavish affair has been the latest celebration in the couple's decade-spanning love story. The pair were previously due to wed in 2003 but postponed their wedding shortly before calling off their engagement in 2004.
The two reunited in 2021, 20 years after they first met, and became engaged — again — in April 2022 before officially tying the knot last month.
While JLo has been public in celebrating their reunion there are clearly some moments she has wanted to keep private and this guest may have compromised that!
