According to Idol, the song actually isn't a great one for a wedding playlist.
This comes as a bit of a surprise, because "White Wedding" seems to be all about love and, well, a wedding. But, as it turns out, it's not a love song at all. According to Idol, it's the opposite of a love song.

Speaking with People magazine about the famed song, Idol said, "Well, 'White Wedding' was a bit of an anti-marriage song, but people get married to it. So, there you go. They changed that, the meaning of that."
...He added about the legendary track, "It's funny, but it's great. I'm glad people have enjoyed it. Whatever they've used it for, I'm glad they've enjoyed the music and I've had a great time."
People also talk about his AMA acceptance speech, in which the rocker encouraged the next generation of musicians.
"So to any kid out there who loves rock and roll or any music of any kind as much as Leon and I do, and if you're inspired to create that sense of freedom and pursue a life of art, all I can say is pick an instrument," he said at the time. "Find out who you are and be it."
