Wedding march

1) Midsummer Night's Dream
2) Lohengrin
3) Princess Victoria, Princess Royal

The 'Wedding March' from MSN's dream and 'The Bridal Chorus' from Lohengrin, commonly used in church weddings nowadays. The first major time it was used was in Princess Victoria's wedding to the future King Frederick III of Prussia.
