The saying “History of the Wedding Dress is shorter than the history of weddings, and even shorter still than the history of marriage” is what I have learned in the history of the wedding dress. As long as I have known, when a couple are getting married in a church, the bride has a wedding dress and the groom is dressed in formal dress suits or tuxedos. I have never seen a different color wedding dress than the color white, except for the brides’ maids and groomsmen with different color dresses and dress clothes.

The music of the Wedding March was composed by Felix Mendelssohn during the Romantic Era (1842) to accompany Shakespeare’s famous A Midsummer Night’s Dream
