Meg White Weds Patti Smith's Son

    Rock icon Patti Smith is now the mother-in-law of White Stripes drummer Meg White. White, 34, married Jackson Smith, the son of Patti and late MC5 guitarist Fred "Sonic" Smith, last Friday in Nashville.

    White's publicist said Tuesday that the event was part of a double wedding in the backyard of Meg's fellow White Stripe, Jack White. Meg, of course, was previously married Jack. Their nuptials lasted from 1996 until their 2000 divorce. During those years they told the media they were brother and sister, not husband and wife.

    Meanwhile, Meg and Jackson met in 2007 and became engaged earlier this year. Meg has been on temporary hiatus from the White Stripes, who last performed in February during the final episode of 'Late Night With Conan O' Brien.'
