"Wedding" is a song written by Swedish musicians Benny Andersson and Svenne Hedlund, first recorded as the eleventh single by their group the Hep Stars in May 1966.[1] "Wedding" was the second single in which the Hep Stars ventured into baroque pop, something that they'd done on their previous single "Sunny Girl" in March 1966.[2]

Upon release, "Wedding" continued the Hep Stars chart success, reaching number 1 on both Kvällstoppen and Tio i Topp that same year. The song was later included in altered form as the final track on their eponymous second studio album The Hep Stars in December 1966.[3] As a result of this, "Wedding" became the Hep Stars first single to be mixed in true stereo.
