In case you didn't get your holiday card from David Letterman, here's what it looks like: It has a picture of Dave on it, wearing a tux and walking down the aisle with a bride. That bride is Jennifer Lopez.

"It's been a special year," reads the message. "Happy Holidays from your friends at 'Late Show.'"

The New York Post, which must have received a card (PEOPLE.com is still waiting for one, though a present is preferred), has splashed the Letterman-Lopez wedding photo across its page three in Friday's editions.

It's a joke, of course, the Post points out, and it's a good one. The photo was actually retouched to include Letterman's head on the body of J.Lo's former husband, Cris Judd, who once did walk down the aisle with her, at the couple's September 2001 wedding.

"I was talking to Jennifer Lopez backstage before the show," Letterman, 55, had said earlier this month, when J.Lo appeared on "Late Show" to plug her current movie, "Maid in Manhattan." "And guess what -- we're engaged!" Ho ho ho.

J.Lo, of course, is really engaged to Ben Affleck, PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive.
