wedding march
Aisle entrance music
A wedding march is a piece of music played during a wedding ceremony, typically as the bride walks down the aisle or as the couple exits after the vows.
The two most famous are by Wagner (from *Lohengrin*) and Mendelssohn (from *A Midsummer Night's Dream*): The organist began the wedding march as the doors opened.
