The Avett Brothers titled their latest album True Sadness - but singer-guitarist Seth Avett's life is quite the opposite these days. The Americana rocker, 35, married Limitless actress Jennifer Carpenter, 36, in an an intimate North Carolina ceremony over Memorial Day weekend - a step in their relationship that felt natural for the pair. "It feels like there's a weight lifted off my shoulders 'cause we've thought about it for so long, and it's nice to make it official," Seth, 35, tells People. The rocker and Carpenter said their "I Do's" about a year after welcoming their first son, Isaac, together last year.
