The song in question is Billy Idol’s ‘White Wedding’ Despite rumors to the contrary, this song is not about Idol's actual little sister. "Little sister" is slang for girlfriend. He is singing about a person he loves marrying someone else while he still loves her.  Idol did have a sister who was getting married at the time, but on an episode of VH1 Storytellers, he explained that his sister's wedding simply gave him the idea for the song. Like many of Idol's compositions, he started with the title and wrote the song from there.
