Wedding March ????

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but is the “Wedding March” the traditional music that the bride walks in to…the here comes the bride? I’m trying to pick my ceremony music and I want to walk into the traditional here comes the bride, but I can’t find any songs with that title? On iTunes, they give the 30 second sample, but it’s not long enough for me to figure it out.

Thanks ladies!

This is what we are doing...

PROCESSIONAL OF THE BRIDAL PARTY
Cannon D, Johann Pachelbel

PROCESSIONAL OF THE BRIDE
Bridal Chorus, Wagner

HTH - Wikipedia on what I posted, but several out there, just google it.

The 'Bridal Chorus' from the opera Lohengrin, by German composer Richard Wagner, 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' (though actually 'wedding march' refers to any song accompanying the entrance or exit of the bride, most often Felix Mendelssohn's 'Wedding March'). However, it is seldom played at Jewish weddings, due to Wagner's reputation as an anti-semite and the Nazis' use of his music.[1] It is also not used by the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod because of various factors, but most especially due to the perceived pagan connotations of Wagner's plays. [2] The Roman Catholic Church generally does not allow the Bridal Chorus at Catholic weddings due to the fact that it is a secular piece of music.[3]

the bridal party walked in to pachelbel's canon, so did I but when I walked in it got a bit louder and more intense....

when he walked out our recessional was the wedding march by mendelsohn

Thank you all for your help and advice!! I didn't know the difference between the wedding march and bridal chorus.
