The Wedding March Proclaims a Grand Entrance

The Wedding has taken months to prepare and all the guests have gathered in the chosen setting. This place is most often chosen because of its serenity and elegance. Whether they are gathered on the lawn of an incredible resort, a majestic cathedral or on the beach with white sand and crashing waves for their backdrop, the bride and groom have selected the perfect attire for their special day. The wedding party has been carefully groomed for this festive celebration knowing that there will be pictures to admire for years to come. The pastor or judge is ready to officiate the ceremony.

Traditionally, the wedding march will begin as the guests wait patiently for the ceremony to begin. The wedding march signals the crowd that the bride is about to emerge. She most often is on her father's arm as she walks down the isle to meet her new husband. As she walks by, the crowd gets a good look at how gorgeous she looks in her dress on this magnificent day.

For centuries the Wedding March has been an exciting way to start weddings

Most people have heard the wedding march which was written in 1848 by Richard Wagner, a German composer. This glorious composition is taken from an opera entitled "The Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin". The opera story lends itself to the traditional modern wedding even though it was written so many years ago.

As the wedding march comes to an end the bride and groom come together for the rest of the ceremony. They will formally commit their love to each other and conclude with the legal procedures. This Wedding march has been played at millions of weddings since Wagoner composed it.

There is no doubt that the march will be played for many years to come because of it's magnificence. Although a few couples choose more modern music for their wedding ceremonies, this spectacular piece is used to introduce the bride in the majority of weddings around the world.
