The information at this page conflicts with the information from the article about Felix Mendelssohn.

In that article we read: "Mendelssohn's Wedding March from A Midsummer Night's Dream was first played at the wedding of Queen Victoria's daughter, The Princess Victoria, The Princess Royal, to Crown Prince Frederick of Prussia in 1856 and it is still popular today".

At this page, however, we read: "The first time it was used at a wedding was when Dorothy Carew wed Tom Daniel at St Peter’s Church, Tiverton, UK, on 2 June 1847. However it did not become popular at weddings until it was selected by Victoria, The Princess Royal for her marriage to the Crown Prince of Prussia on January 25, 1858".

Thus, we can see two conflicts. The first one is that there is uncertainty about the event when this march was first played. The second one is in the dates of wedding of Victoria and Frederick (1856 and 1858).

So I propose to review the facts mentioned in both articles and correct the mistakes which existence is obviously seen from above. Sagalovichm 10:56, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

The engagement was in May 1856 , the wedding was on January 25th 1858 in the chapel of St. James' Palace in London (Source: Victoria,_Princess_Royal ). Today the Mendelssohn page does not contradict this page any longer in both regards. 87.139.35.219 08:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
