Jennifer Garner opened up about the unconventional way she marked her 50th birthday earlier this year.The Alias alum celebrated the milestone in April, joking to Town & Country magazine that she threw an uncharacteristically big party on her special day. “I basically had a wedding for myself,” she told the outlet in the interview published on Wednesday, October 26. “I was so shocked that I was doing it.”Along with her sisters and parents, Garner’s guest list was lengthy, but she briefly took focus off of herself during the bash.
