The 50-year-old looked typically glamorous for the party, wearing a white one-shoulder dress, with smoky eye makeup and her hair styled in loose curls, while her husband-to-be looked dapper in a black suit. Their celebration comes six months after Alex popped the question during a holiday in the Bahamas, with the couple busy making wedding plans ever since.

Alex previously hinted they are planning a destination wedding that will be a "long flight" away. However, the actress said they haven’t settled on a location for their nuptials. "He's just saying things," she said. "We're talking about it, but we don't have any firm plans... and we're talking about a lot of places [to get married in], but I don't know yet," Jennifer told Entertainment Tonight in September.
