Meg White not only had a "white" wedding, she also tied the knot in a double ceremony with pals: The singer wed her fiance Jackson Smith in Nashville on Friday, alongside friends Jack Lawrence and Jo McCaughey.
Jackson is the son of punk legend Patti Smith and the late guitarist Fred Smith of MC5; he’s also a rock guitarist.
The 34-year-old rock drummer’s publicist said in a statement Tuesday that the ceremony took place in the backyard of Meg’s musical partner and ex-husband, Jack White, and was attended by a small party of close friends and relatives.
No word on whether the bride actually wore her namesake color.

After the White Stripes cancelled their tour earlier this month, citing drummer Meg White’s “acute anxiety,” there was much specualation as to what was the root cause of her problems. And then the rumor mill went into overdrive this morning when a sex tape allegedly starring Meg was leaked all over the Internet. Guess that would cause some angst, huh?
But Meg’s rep tells OK! not to believe everything you see online. “Some people have a very twisted sense of humor and this prank is in particularly bad taste. The tape circulating on the Internet as featuring Meg White is fake. It’s definitely not Meg.”
