A warm welcome. Casey Affleck shared some kind words for his new sister-in-law in a heartfelt message of support. While Casey, 47, wasn’t in attendance at Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez‘ lavish wedding ceremony held at Ben’s estate in Riceboro, Georgia, on Saturday, the “Gone Girl” actor took to Instagram on Sunday to share a kind word for the songstress. “Good things are worth waiting for,” Casey wrote alongside a throwback photo from 2002, showing Casey walking with Ben and Jen during their first romance. “Here is to twists and turns, new beginnings, and finding new reservoirs of old love,” Casey wrote. “Welcome to the family.
