WHITEWEDDING

White wedding

A white wedding is a traditional formal or semi-formal wedding originating in Britain. The term originates from the white colour of the wedding dress, which first became popular with Victorian era elites, after Queen Victoria wore a white lace dress at her wedding; however, the term now also encapsulates the entire Western wedding routine, especially in the Christian religious tradition, which generally includes a ceremony during which the marriage begins, followed by a reception.

"White Wedding" is a song by Billy Idol that appeared on his album Billy Idol . Although "The Big 80's: Episode I" of VH1's Pop-Up Video trivia show claims Idol wrote the song to voice his displeasure with his sister's fiancé, on an episode of VH1 Storytellers, Idol claimed that there was never any family resentment towards his sister, and that the song was simply heightened fantasy and nothing more.
