Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's Second Wedding: All the Details From the Private Ceremony
Affleck's brother Casey Affleck missed the ceremony
One notable absence was Affleck's brother Casey Affleck, whom he directed in Gone Baby Gone. A TMZ videographer spotted Casey in Los Angeles, but the famously private actor didn't give a clear response. He mumbled when asked about his brother's wedding, appearing to say he "fell asleep." The Daily Mail reports that Casey had "prior parental commitments" in Los Angeles. Casey has two sons with his ex-wife, Summer Phoenix.
