Jack White has followed in the footsteps of his ex-girlfriend, Renee Zellweger, and went through with a surprise wedding.

White, 29, frontman of the White Stripes, married model Karen Elson Wednesday. They wed in front of a Shaman priest on a canoe in the Amazon River in Brazil.

Elson, 25, has modeled for Prada and Banana Republic.

She was also featured in the “Blue Orchid” White Stripes music video.

They later were blessed by a Catholic priest in a Manaus, Brazil, row boat, err, I mean a cathedral.

Fellow White Stripes member Meg White was the maid of honor. The duo has said that they are brother and sister, though court documents have shown that they were married for four years before their band took off.

Zellweger, White’s love interest for about a year, married Kenny Chesney last month.

The honeymoon will have to be brief. The White Stripes have an extensive tour planned and a new album out next week.
