'Going to the Chapel' was released in 1964 by the American girl group The Dixie Cups, written by Jeff Barry, Ellie Greenwich and Phil Spector, and it climbed to number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Its simple, joyful promise of wedding day happiness made it a lasting fixture of real ceremonies and of wedding scenes in films and television. Decades later the chorus still circulates online as a short celebratory clip, and creators reach for it whenever an engagement, proposal or romance meme needs an instantly understood musical cue.
