Wedding March Part.2～The Bridal Chorus From The Opera Lohengrin～

This is a remix of the Wedding March, “Bridal Chorus,” used in the opera Lohengrin.

It is composed by Wagner.

(It had even been mistakenly attributed to Mendelssohn on Wikipedia.) This version has a cute finish and is perfect for weddings, and since there are some calmer sections, I think it’s fine to play it for a longer time.
