Corpse Bride

The legend says that Victor was so flabbergasted when his parents informed him that he had to marry some rich, spoiled girl to be accepted in that hypocrite society, he ran away from home.

He went to the woods to find some peace of mind, and carelessly tossed away the wedding ring his parents had given him. Suddenly, he felt and presence and turned around to find himself facing a dead woman, wearing a wedding dress. The sweet nose-cleansing odour of the woods was replaced by the rotting and disgusting smell of death, and the sound of the birds was now silenced by the screams of this corpse bride.

Emily explained to him that while waiting for her fiancée to show up to their wedding, she had passed away. She had been buried in the woods, and according to an old spell, whoever placed a ring of her hand would make her the bride she had always wished to be. She didn't know Victor didn't mean to do so, but he had no intention of telling her, for listening to her talk about the land of the dead, he realized it had more freedom and somehow more life than the world he was living in, where attending to boring dinner parties and getting married to keep up appearances was more than usual, and could hardly be called a life.

Therefore, he decided to run away with Emily, to the land where there are no worries and no pretending, and where they lived, or should I say died, happily ever after.
