Ben Affleck's mother was reportedly rushed to the hospital Friday as he and Jennifer Lopez were preparing to tie the knot for the second time in Georgia.
Christopher Anne Boldt got injured after falling off a dock at her son's Georgia home, where he and Lopez are holding a three-day wedding celebration for family and friends this weekend, the Daily Mail reported.
Photos published by the outlet showed an ambulance departing the "Argo" star's property with his mother. She was taken to St. Joseph Candler children's hospital in Savannah, Georgia, according to the report.
The outlet also obtained pictures of the "Justice League" actor and the "Marry Me" actress at the hospital with his mother.
Lopez, 53, was photographed sporting an Alice McCall gingham sundress and a Dior bag, Page Six reported.
Meanwhile, Affleck, 50, was seen pacing and smoking a cigarette outside the hospital. He was dressed casually in a purple T-shirt, shorts and a baseball cap he wore backward, as seen in the photos.
Shortly afterward, his mother exited the hospital in a wheelchair with a bandage wrapped around her left leg, photos published by Daily Mail showed.
The accident reportedly occurred just hours before the start of Affleck and Lopez's wedding weekend.
An unnamed source previously told Page Six that the three-day celebration will kick off with a rehearsal dinner Friday evening. The actual ceremony will take place Saturday, and the celebration will culminate with a barbecue and picnic Sunday, the source added.
Lopez and Affleck arrived in Georgia earlier this week ahead of their nuptials. The couple was photographed with their kids shopping in Savannah ahead of the festivities.
The actor's brother, Casey Affleck, was also seen arriving in town, with photos obtained by Page Six showing him stopping at a Dunkin' for donuts with his girlfriend Caylee Cowan.
Lopez's mom Guadalupe Rodriguez, 76, arrived in Georgia Thursday. She was photographed at the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport wearing a black shirt under her red cardigan. She paired it with patterned pants and Nautica sandals. Rodriguez was driven away in a black Suburban SUV and taken to Affleck's 84-acre Riceboro, Georgia, estate.
The event comes weeks after Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas on July 16, nearly 20 years after the couple called off their first engagement.
Following their wedding, an anonymous source told Entertainment Tonight last month that Rodriguez gushed that she "always knew Ben was the love of Jen's life" and was "so happy that Ben is officially part of the family."
Lopez's mother also previously told "The View's" Sunny Hostin that she always knew her daughter would end up with Affleck despite the pair ending their romance in 2004.
"I knew they would get back together. I knew that they were in love," Hostin shared during a roundtable talk on "The View" days after Lopez and Affleck's Las Vegas nuptials. "I've spoken to her mother, Lupe, about it. Lupe has always said that Ben is her true love."
Lopez and Affleck's upcoming ceremony reportedly will be officiated by celebrity life coach Jay Shetty, who is a former Hindu monk. The singer is expected to walk down the aisle in a custom Ralph Lauren gown, according to Page Six.
