The "Bridal Chorus," also known as "Here Comes the Bride," is a piece of music composed by Richard Wagner in 1850. It is part of his opera Lohengrin and is traditionally played during wedding ceremonies as the bride walks down the aisle. The piece has become synonymous with weddings and is recognized worldwide. Originally, the "Bridal Chorus" is performed by a full orchestra, but it can also be adapted for solo instruments or vocal performances. Its romantic and uplifting melody captures the emotions of the moment, making it a popular choice for couples celebrating their union.
