Casey Affleck was a no-show at Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s star-studded wedding in Georgia, but the Gone Baby Gone actor managed to post a note congratulating the newlyweds over the weekend.
“Good things are worth waiting for,” Casey Affleck wrote alongside an old photo of him walking with his brother and J-Lo in Los Angeles in 2002, during their first relationship in the early 2000s.
“Here is to twists and turns, new beginnings, and finding new reservoirs of old love,” the actor added. “Welcome to the family. Get ready for some real dysfunction! Kidding. I am kidding.”
On a more serious note, he added, “Jen, you are a gem. We love you so much!!!”
Casey was a surprising absence at the wedding. Paparazzi spotted the director at a Los Angeles Starbucks on Saturday, and asked why he wasn’t at the nuptials across the country. He answered vaguely before getting in a car and driving off.
An anonymous source told People on Saturday that he missed the wedding “unfortunately because of family, parental obligations at home.”
Ben and Jen got engaged for a second time in April 2022. The two officially tied the knot last month, at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas.
The singer described the ceremony as the “best possible wedding we could have imagined.”
After heading across the pond for a honeymoon trip with their blended family in late July, the Marry Me star and her husband headed to Georgia for a second, splashier wedding this past weekend.
The two officially said their “I dos” at Ben’s compound just outside of Savannah on Saturday, which was the original location for their first wedding.
Stars like Matt Damon and Kevin Smith were in attendance at the all-white wedding, which was officiated by podcaster and life coach Jay Shetty.
