Mendelssohn’s Wedding March is a famous piece of music composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1842 as part of his incidental music for Shakespeare’s play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

It is now commonly played at weddings, usually for the recessional as the couple exits the ceremony. The first time the piece was recorded as being played at a wedding was for the marriage of Dorothy Carew and Tom Daniel in 1847 in Tiverton, England. However, its popularity at weddings began rising substantially after Victoria, the Princess Royal, chose it for her 1858 marriage. This is a trend that continues today, with literally millions of newly weds across the world choosing this imposing music, with a majority choosing organ or string players as there preferred setting.

Personal

David Johnstone lives near Pamplona (Navarre, Spain) with his wife Rosa and their two “Spanglish” children, close to the Atlantic Pyrenees. The nearest international airport is Bilbao.

He is interested in world affairs, politics, animal rights, and most sports (including being a lifelong suffering Reading FC fan!). Also passionate about Celtic culture and genealogy, he has traced his ‘English’ family back to 1280, although Scotland and Ireland have also shaped his background. And yes — he is half-ashamed to admit it, he loves silly jokes!

Social Work

David Johnstone supports animal rights, he is against any form of abuse towards them, and says a loud “NO” to bullfighting, foxhunting and any other animal cruelty.

TORTURE IS NOT CULTURE !
