Jennifer Garner is sharing some details about her 50th birthday party, revealing that it was “basically a wedding,” and explaining that she invited all her family and friends

The actress described the large-scale event as “my wedding.” “I essentially got married to myself. In a recent interview with Town & Country magazine, she said, “I was so startled that I was doing it. I wanted to make it a big celebration.

The Hollywood diva invited her friends to dance to the Osborne Brothers’ “Rocky Top,” saying that they had a great time doing so. She also wished to contribute to the “Blessings in a Backpack” initiative.

In order to support the charity, Jennifer invited her guests to assist her in packing 5,000 bags with enough food to feed a family of four. She added that she “put everyone to work” that day.

She also talked about the perception of the public, and shared that she is in fact “nice” all the time. “I have no reason not to be nice. My life is lovely,” she said.

“I’m not always just nice. I can also be salty, and I can be taciturn, or I can be really serious about what I want to get done. It’s not that I feel I’m underestimated in that way-I’m not afraid to stand up for myself and say, ‘Just so you know, this isn’t going to fly with me.’ When that happens, I don’t want you to be shocked that I’m a real person,” Jennifer explained.
