Affleck & Garner Are Married

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, who have discarded the celebrity-couple playbook by mostly staying out of the public eye, are married.

The "Alias" star and the "Good Will Hunting" Oscar winner exchanged vows Wednesday (June 29) at a resort in the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos. Us Weekly first reported the nuptials, and both actors' publicists confirmed the wedding to the AP.

Publicists Ken Sunshine and Nicole King also confirmed for the first time that Garner is pregnant, although that fact has pretty much been common knowledge for some time.

The marriage is the second for Garner, who was previously wed to her "Felicity" co-star, Scott Foley, and the first for Affleck. He was famously engaged to Jennifer Lopez in 2003, but they called off the wedding in September of that year and broke up a few months later.

Affleck and Garner first met while filming "Pearl Harbor," in which he starred as a pilot and she had a smaller part as a nurse. They co-starred in 2003's "Daredevil," which was filmed while she was still married to Foley. In between her marriages, Garner dated her "Alias" co-star, Michael Vartan.

In contrast to the exhaustingly demonstrative relationship Affleck had with Lopez, he and Garner have kept a fairly low profile. They went to a Boston Red Sox game last fall but have otherwise rarely appeared together in public.

I think they are a good couple. They seem to have more in common than the original "Benifer"

Agreed, and they seem to have worked out the publicity thing that bugged J-Lo so much last time.

You rarely see Garner and Ben in the news like Jennifer L. and he were.

Jennifer Garner is from West Virginia. About 80 miles from my home town. Just thought I would throw that out there since you don't see very many famous people from West Virginia.

Have you ever met her Dakstang?

I used to meet quite a few celebrities when my father was singing professionally and I was a kid.

He introduced me to Burt Reynolds when I was 5 years old. Was a very nice man and seemed very happy to meet fans.

I also met Tommy Lee Jones when I was a teenager. He has the strongest grip during a handshake of anyone I had ever met!

Do you know of her town then?

What is it like? Do they speak of her often there?

I believe her home town is Charleston which is the Capitol of West Virginia. I think it is like the third largest city in West Virginia. Yea they talk about her quite often. Especially when she is making national news seeing how she is one of the few claims to fame in West Virginia.

Actually I will correct myself. I found this on the net

Charleston is the State Capital and largest city in West Virginia. The population of Charleston is a little over 57,000. The heyday for the city was during the late 40's when the city population was nearly 90,000.
