She explained that they walked down the aisle to Marc Cohn's song, The Things We've Handed Down. The couple had talked about the singer's song, True Companion, as the perfect wedding song back when they were dating twenty years ago.

The chosen song that they walked down to was "a song about the wonderful mystery of children", she explained, adding that it was "something we could only guess at back then, but it was the perfect choice as our five children preceded me on the walk".

"The twenty years between those dreams of youth and the adult world of love and family we embraced that day, brought more to this marriage than either of us ever could have imagined. We weren't only marrying on another, we were marrying these children into a new family. They were the only people we asked to stand up for us in our wedding party. To our great honor and joy, each one did," she added.
Finishing the heartfelt story, J-Lo told her fans: "As the eldest of our children finished her walk, Marc began True Companion, a song we first listened to together what seemed both like yesterday and forever ago - and life came, strangely, beautifully, mysteriously, divinely full-circle".
