The Wedding March Debuts at Royal Wedding

January 25th, 1858 167 years ago

The Wedding March by Felix Mendelssohn was played at the wedding of Princess Victoria, the daughter of Queen Victoria, to Friedrich of Prussia. This significant moment occurred in St. James's Palace, London, and the piece quickly became a beloved wedding processional, influencing future royal and public ceremonies alike. The choice of music reflected both the personal connection of the royal family to Mendelssohn's work and the growing trend toward romanticism in wedding traditions.
