It's been years since anyone really thought Jack and Meg White were actual siblings. But by all appearances, the two are family.According to a statement on the White Stripes' websitevia MTV), Meg White married Jackson Smith, the son of Patti Smith and the late MC5 guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, on May 22. The two were married in Jack White's Nashville backyard. "A small party of close friends and relatives" attended. In general, ex-husbands don't open up their homes for their ex-wives' weddings, but then again, they don't usually continue playing in a band together after they split up, either.
According to the Stripes' site, the nuptials were a double wedding: "Little" Jackie Lawrence, the bassist for the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather, married his girlfriend Jo McCaughey at the ceremony. According to the Stripes' website, "the wedding was officiated by the most reverend Benjamin Swank." MTV reports that Swank is probably former Soledad Brothers drummer Benjamin "Swank" Smith. More evidence that these two crazy kids still get along: As we reported earlier this month, Jack told Music Radar that another White Stripes album "won't be too far off. Maybe next year." ~Pitchfork Media
