Here's another celebrity marriage to make the headlines.
Ben Affleck's little brother, Casey Affleck, has married
Summer Phoenix, the little sister of Joaquin Phoenix.
Lets hope that Casey's first marriage goes smoother
than Ben's first time at the altar. Remember Affleck/Lopez?
The famous siblings of both the Affleck and Phoenix
clans exchanged nuptials over the weekend, according
to Affleck's publicist, Rebecca Feferman. iAfrica
reports that Casey and Summer tied the knot over the
weekend, but no further details, like the guest list,
were made available. Both Phoenix and Affleck are passionate
about animal rights, politics and veganism. Prior to
their wedding, Summer was quoted to say, " He is
a bleeding heart," adding, "He is the most generous
guy I have ever met," in an interview for Boston
magazine.
Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix have a two year old
son, Indiana August, born only 5 months after their
engagement. According to Playfuls.com,
" Affleck, 30, and Phoenix, 28, have been together
for six years. The two were introduced by Summer's brother
Phoenix, who is a friend of Affleck's, whom he met while
filming 'To Die For' in 1995."
Casey Affleck has appeared in such films as: Chasing
Amy, Good Will Hunting, American Pie 2,
Ocean's Eleven, and Ocean's Twelve. Currently,

Robert Ford, starring Brad Pitt, due out this year,
