Felix Mendelssohn composed the Wedding March in 1842 as part of his incidental music for Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and it soon became one of the most recognisable wedding processionals in the Western world. Its association with grand entrances and celebrations made it an easy fit for live streaming, where Portuguese-speaking creators adopted the opening bars as an alert for the largest donation of a broadcast. The contrast between a formal wedding tune and a casual chat moment keeps the gag fresh, so the clip continues to circulate as a celebratory notification rather than just a classical excerpt.

The Wedding March by Felix Mendelssohn, used as a stream alert for a record donation during a live broadcast. It signals the biggest tip of the stream.
This clip is the opening of Felix Mendelssohn's Wedding March, the triumphant orchestral tune most people recognise from wedding processions. It starts with a bold, rising fanfare before settling into a bright, stately melody that sounds formal, joyful and a little theatrical. Played at full volume for a few seconds, it instantly turns an ordinary moment into a ceremony, which is why streamers use it when a donation breaks the record. The effect is celebratory rather than subtle: everyone in chat knows something big just happened, and the donor gets a grand, mock-serious entrance instead of a simple notification sound.
