This is the most famous of all bridal processional songs in the west since the start of the 20th century. Composed by Richard Wagner as part of his opera "Lohengrin", the wedding march in its original setting was sung by the bridal party not before but after the wedding ceremony, while the tragic heroine Elsa was making her way to the bridal chamber to ostensibly begin a life of wedded bliss with Lohengrin.
Ironically, though the words are uplifting and paint a beautiful portrait of what marriage should be for Elsa and Lohengrin, the reality is that it all falls apart rather quickly for them. Fortunately, there is little or no correlation in the minds of wedding guests with this original tale - the Wedding March has simply become a grand processional, the opening notes (in the more majestic versions) announcing unmistakably the entrance of the bride, and the beginning of her journey to join the wedding party, be united with her love, and begin a new life together with him.

The lyrics written for the opera Lohengrin are never used in modern day weddings. Several have attempted to compose new lyrics to fit this familiar tune, but with no success on any grand scale. This may be partially due to the march-like nature of the music, which somehow makes meaningful lyrics hard to pen in a style that would be broadly appreciated in modern culture. As well, it would be almost a necessity to begin the lyric with "Here comes the bride", since 99% of all listeners immediately think of that lyric when they hear the opening Wedding March melody. This limits the creative process; that line is not the most poetic ever written, to put it mildy, and so almost immediately the poet's job is daunting and nigh unto impossible.
