This may be what you are talking about.

Wedding March (Mendelssohn)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" is one of the best known of the pieces that he wrote for A Midsummer Night's Dream in 1842. It is one of the most played wedding marches.

At weddings in many English-speaking countries, this piece is commonly used as a recessional, though frequently stripped of its episodes in this context.

The first time it was used at a wedding was when Dorothy Carew wed Tom Daniel at St Peter’s Church, Tiverton, UK, on 2 June 1847. However it did not become popular at weddings until it was selected by Victoria, The Princess Royal for her marriage to the Crown Prince of Prussia on January 25, 1858.

The organ on which the "Wedding March" was allegedly composed is housed in St. Ann's Church in Tottenham.

Pachelbel's Canon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Pachabel's canon)

Canon in D Major is Johann Pachelbel's most well-known work.

Pachelbel's Canon (formally the Canon in D major; full German title: Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur für drei Violinen und Basso Continuo) is the most famous piece of music by Johann Pachelbel. It was written in or around 1680, during the Baroque period as a piece of chamber music for three violins and basso continuo, but has since been arranged for a wide variety of ensembles. The Canon was originally paired with a gigue in the same key, however this composition is rarely performed or recorded today. It is well known for its chord progression which has become one of the most used in popular music.

The piece is commonly played at weddings and is frequently present on miscellaneous classical music compilation CDs, along with other famous Baroque pieces such as Air on the G string (a 19th century arrangement of the second movement from Johann Sebastian Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3), and Albinoni's Adagio in G minor, which is a reconstruction of a lost piece by Tomaso Albinoni. A non-original viola pizzicato part is also commonly added (in a string orchestra or quartet setting) when a harpsichord player is not used to improvise harmonies over the bass line.

Answer 3

Not sure if this is what you're looking for --- "The traditional processional at Western weddings is the Bridal Chorus from Richard Wagner's Lohengrin, while a traditional recessional is the Wedding March from Felix Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Answer 4

I'm thinking you mean "The Wedding Song" (There is Love) by Noel Paul Stookey. His website is here:

It is played most likely because the words describe very well the marriage of a man and a woman.
