* In ''Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'', Lorelei's wedding song, "Button Up with Esmond," begins with the Mendelssohn snippet.
* ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'': Lohengrin plays at the end of ''Helpless'' to signify Alexander and Eliza's wedding. This is a case where the song is used for a time period far before it was actually composed (1780), but ''Hamilton'' in general is a very, very deliberate AnachronismStew (the rest of the song is R&B, after all) so it's not too jarring.

Some churches discourage the use of this and other [[http://www.perkinschapelweddingmusic.com/faq.htm secular music]] at weddings held in their facilities. Some churches and musicians also discourage their use because of the context: Elsa's wedding in ''Lohengrin'' is anything but happy, the marriage wasn't consummated, and by the end her beloved departs and her brother has been turned into a swan; and ''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' is not the most... shall we say, "monogamous" of Shakespeare's plays. And some organists are just bloody sick of them. The former is also generally not used at Jewish weddings, due to Wagner's anti-Semitism (Mendelssohn was a Lutheran with Jewish ancestry, by the way, and was disliked by Wagner).

I misremembered the episode from my childhood – somehow I thought it used Mendelssohn, but rewatching it, I found that it actually uses Lohengrin.

* The wedding in the ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' episode "Let Them Eat Cake" uses Mendelssohn for [[RunawayBride what should have been]] the bride's walk down the aisle. The use of Mendelsshon instead of Lohengrin is a double case of {{Fridge Brilliance}}: (a) the couple's names are [[Film/TheGraduate Ben and Elaine]], and (b) Ben is Jewish, being [[AlterKocker Boris and Minka's]] son, so it makes sense that they wouldn't use the Wagner piece.
