Yeah, not sure if this is the same march, but this video is of the choir in my town, Mandal, performing a wedding march from Østerdalen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA-ZVIfUtGs&feature=related
As you can see from the link, there are several wedding marches from various small places in Norway.

I knind of figured if I Googled "Bruremarsj" I would find a million of them. There isn't any Norwegian in it, it's just "tra la la la" over and over.
Yes, it's the same one, just performed differently. There are a bunch of 'brudemarsj' tunes, almost all without words, just 'dam-di-dam-da-da...'.
They're very popular among traditional Norwegian folk music people, often composed by and for fiddle or violin players.
I never knew any of them would be sung by American choirs. Neat-o!
