Affleck slams marriage rumours

Ben Affleck's representative has denied rumours that the actor secretly married Jennifer Garner.

Media speculation that the pair had wed over the weekend began when a large marquee was erected in the garden of Garner's Los Angeles home at her 33rd birthday celebrations.

However, although one guest remarked on leaving that "that was the best wedding ever," Ken Sunshine, Affleck's spokesman, denied any wedding.
