Never heard of it until this question caught my eye so I thought, why not have a listen, and have a listen I did and as it turns out, it is a nice song.

YES! Whenever I hear Grieg's "Wedding Day at Trolhaugen," I think that I am listening to Rogers and Hammerstein's "Marchof the Siamese Children" from the King and I. I have always thought that the tune was taken from Grieg and was looking for proof on the Internet, but I have never listened to the two pieces side by side.

Rachel, it is a charming tune, and very "Grieg"ish -- it has this naive, fresh quality that so many of his songs and piano miniatures have. I always feel that I'm listening to Norwegian folk music when I hear Grieg.
I believe Richard Rogers used it as a model for the "March of the Siamese Children" from "The King and I". The folk-ish quality, and even the main motive bears a resemblance to Grieg's
