Richard Wagner, the music is from "A Midsummer Night's Dream". The usual recessional used at weddings is from "Lohengrin" and was written by Felix Mendelssohn. It's the other way round. Wagner wrote the music known as 'Here comes the bride' and Mendelssohn's Wedding March is from his incidental music to A Midsummer Night's Dream
No. Mendelssohn did not write lyrics to be sung with the music. However the Wedding March comes from his Midsummer Nights Dream music where some of the musical numbers have a choir in them, but the Wedding March is purely orchestral without choir.
Mendelssohn's Wedding March is the traditional piece played at weddings.
In the book, their wedding date is March 12th, 1959.
Not the way Shakespeare wrote it, but Felix Mendelssohn wrote some absolutely terrific incidental music to accompany the play, including an overture and a wedding march which I guarantee you have heard before. Mendelssohn's music features prominently in both the 1935 and 1999 movies and the overture can be heard at the related link.
