The Bridal Chorus from the opera Lohengrin (1848), by German composer Richard Wagner (1813-1883), is the standard march played for the bride's entrance at most formal weddings in the United States and at many weddings throughout the Western world. In English-speaking countries it is generally known as Here Comes the Bride or Wedding March. Its usual placement at the beginning of a wedding ceremony is not entirely in accordance with its placement in the opera.

This version is arranged as a duet for two Cellos.
