Pixie Geldof says her sister, Peaches Geldof, got married to Max Drummey recently because she was depressed. The wedding in Las Vegas was a big surprise to everyone. Pixie says the whole family has a lot of fear and depression after their mother, Paula Yates, died from a drug overdose in 2000. Pixie said Peaches …:

“She’s got problems just like all of us have about what happened to my mum. I’ve been in therapy not long ago and she has had a hard time. That’s why she has done drugs and why this wedding happened too. We’re all depressed in our family.”

A friend who was with Peaches when she collapsed recently said:

“She (Peaches) insists (the marriage) it’s not a sham. The flash point will be when Bob meets Max for the first time this week.”

Peaches is on a plane to Gatwick, without her wedding ring on, to meet up with her father Bob Geldof. Sparks are going to fly when daddy sees his daughter, but there’s nothing he can do with her now. Peaches is 19 years-old. Bob does have some leverage however, that hasn’t worked very well for other wealthy parents. A source said:

“Bob’s told her that he will support her as long as she assures him it’s a serious relationship and not a stunt. He just wants Peaches to be straight with him and tell him the facts.”

Daddy probably can’t handle the truth. A little white lie might be better.

Max Drummey (23) played a concert in Los Angeles over the weekend, and he wasn’t wearing his wedding band either. Max was asked if he was drunk during the wedding, and he said:

“No, it was early in the morning.”

Daddy is going to just love his new son-in-law.

Peaches Geldof (19) got married to Max Drummey (23) last week in Las Vegas. According to a statement released by Geldof’s publicist:

"The wedding was a quiet, low-key ceremony. Their marriage has the full support of their family and friends … Peaches and Max did not want unnecessary publicity, but following growing media speculation, have decided to set out the facts."

A rep for Drummey also released a statement Tuesday saying:

"Peaches and Max Drummey are delighted to announce their very happy marriage."

The couple met two years ago at the I-TV iTunes show, where his band Chester French was performing. Peaches was a presenter at the concert.

This may seem like a rush to the altar, but only recently Peaches was rumored to have overdosed, and stopped breathing requiring emergency medical attention, so she’s got to live her life quick before it’s over.
