Meg White has married fiance Jackson Smith in Nashville. The drummer’s publicist said in an announcement Tuesday that the ceremony was part of a double wedding Friday in the backyard of White’s musical partner, Jack White. Smith is the son of punk singer Patti Smith and the late guitarist Fred “Sonic” Smith of the rock band MC5. Meg White and Jackson Smith live in Detroit. Meg - who was previously married to Jack, who she divorced in 2005 – had reportedly wanted the ceremony to be as quiet and intimate as possible. The drummer is notoriously shy, with the White Stripes’ forced to cancel their 2007 tour because she was suffering from “acute anxiety”.

The other couple that wed Friday was Jack Lawrence and his girlfriend Jo McCaughey. Jack Lawrence is the bass player in Jack White’s other musical projects: the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather. The wedding was attended by a small party of close friends and relatives.
