Actress Jennifer Garner was seen walking down a different kind of aisle as her ex-husband Ben Affleck tied the knot with Jennifer Lopez over the weekend.
Garner, 50, was pictured checking out the various discounted merchandise at Sam’s Club in West Virginia just before 4pm Saturday, around the same time the festivities got underway in Savannah, Georgia, where Affleck and Lopez were married for the second time.
Eyewitnesses at the South Charleston store told TMZ Garner was perusing the aisles with two men, who looked like her father and her boyfriend, businessman John Miller.
She wore a simple blue blouse with blue and white-striped pants as she combed through the aisles and took photos with admiring fans.
It remains unclear whether she was invited to her ex’s wedding, with whom she shares three children, but the photos prove she was not in attendance at the glitzy event.

Garner was married to Ben Affleck from 2005 to 2018.
The two actors met while filming Pearl Harbor in 2000, and were reunited two years later on the set of Daredevil, where Affleck said he first fell in love with Garner — who at the time was married to Scott Foley,
But just a few months later, he got engaged to his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez.
Nothing really happened between the two until after Garner divorced Foley in May 2003, and Affleck and J Lo broke off their engagement the following January.
Affleck and Garner were first photographed together in October 2004, when they sat together at the World Series, and they were engaged just a few months later in April.
The two got married in a private ceremony that June, and Garner gave birth to their first daughter, Violet, in December 2005.
They went on to have another daughter Seraphina Rose and a son, Samuel Garner Affleck, before they announced in June 2015 they were getting a divorce.
In a statement at the time, they said: ‘We go forward with love and friendship for one another and a commitment to co-parenting our children, whose privacy we ask to be respected during this difficult time.’
The divorce was finalized in 2018, and by 2021, Affleck had rekindled his relationship with J Lo.

Sources have previously told Hollywood Life that Garner is supportive of Affleck’s marriage to J-Lo.
An insider said, though, Garner would not e attending the wedding because she is ‘hard at work on a project in Texas… but she’s been totally supportive of her kids being there, and is really positive in general about the whole thing.
‘There is nothing more important to her than her kids’ happiness so the fact that they feel welcomed and at ease and have bonded with J Lo and her kids is just the best thing she could ask for.’
Another source said Garner had already congratulated the couple prior to their wedding ceremony on Saturday.
‘Ben will always consider Jennifer family, so of course he extended an invitation,’ the unnamed source said. ‘Plus, Jennifer and Jen have become closer, so J Lo was fully supportive of inviting the mother of his kids.
‘Jennifer knows they adore J-Lo, and she’s fully on board with them getting close to their new stepmom,’ the source continued, adding: ‘Jennifer has wished them all the best and knows it will be a beautiful event.’
