Bridal Chorus
Lohengrin wedding music
The Bridal Chorus is the wedding march from Wagner's opera *Lohengrin*, familiar as the music played when a bride walks down the aisle.
The opening words "Here comes the bride" are so associated with the melody that the informal name often replaces the formal one: They played "Here Comes the Bride" as she entered.
