Garber Ordained To Officiate Garner and Affleck Wedding
2 October 2006 (WENN)
Alias star Victor Garber took an Internet guide to officiating at weddings after his pal and co-star Jennifer Garner asked him to marry her to Ben Affleck. Garber played Garner's father on the hit TV series and the two formed such a close bond that Garber was the only other person present when the couple exchanged vows in the Caribbean. He appeared on talk show The View on Wednesday, where he discussed the special day saying, "I officiated because it was a private thing and because they asked me as a friend. There is a website you can go to get ordained for one occasion, for one ceremony. Anybody can do it. If I can do it, anybody can do it, believe me! We went to a private place. I don't like to talk about it publicly, because it was so personal, but I'm happy to talk about it only because it was such a joyous, extraordinary thing. I was so honored and they are so happy, their baby is so beautiful and I just love them so much."
Vartan Bids for Himself on the Internet
21 May 2004 (WENN)
Hunky actor Michael Vartan is deeply disappointed after missing out on an internet auction - to bid for a pillowcase with his face on it. Vartan, who's currently dating his Alias co-star Jennifer Garner, opted to bid for the unusual item after hearing about it through a friend - but a fan of his got there first. He says, "I eBayed myself because a friend told me that some lunatic had made a pillowcase with my face on it. I thought it would be a very funny joke gift to give my mom for her birthday. I did, however, find a Victor Garber key chain that had a picture of him on the front, and on the back it said, 'And on the eighth day, God created Victor Garber.'"
