(etc., etc - this is just the first two verses) You can research this yourself if you want, but here they are: And yes, since it's actually a chorus (check out the title!), there are indeed ORIGINAL words. Here comes the groom skinnyĪ few have mentioned that the Bridal Chorus is from Richard Wagner's opera "Lohengrin" - they are right. Here comes the bride, big fat and wide, see how she wobbles from side to side. The way I heard it when I was a kid, 60+ years ago, was: He lost his underwear!!!" That is what I heard. Where is the Groom he is in the bathroom, "Here comes the bride all dressed in white, The processions re-form and during the following pass by the newly married pair so that the men leave the chamber on the right, the ladies on the left.) (The King embraces and blesses Lohengrin and Elsa. (As the two trains meet in the middle of the stage Elsa is led to Lohengrin) Of this perfumed chamber, decked for love. Where may the blessing of love attend you! "Elsa's Procession from the Cathedral" (Lohengrin) There I just posted the original (Wagner) lyrics and an English translation. I highly recommend giving it a listen.)Īnyways, the orriginal German lyrics are as follows. (In my opinion, Elsa's Procession is a thousand times prettier, and one of my favorite pieces of Romantic music. (They had trust issues) The actual song used upon entering the church is Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral. The reason the song is thought to be inappropriate is because it was actually sung after the wedding right before when Lohengrin and Elsa were going to go consumate their marriage.It is also thought to be inappropriate due to the failure of Elsa and Lohengrin's marriage. (I know this since I'm a music major who paid attention in class.) The couple who marries in the opera were Elsa (female) and Lohengrin (male). For the person who said that the reason this song is inappropriate for weddings because the wedding was between two transvestites, they were wrong. The Bridal Chorus is from Lohengrin and it does have lyrics written by Wagner.
