Corpse Bride (2005)

Corpse Groom

by TheBrothersRowe

Emily Pettler once grew up with Victoria Everglot. The two were the best of friends, but eventually Emily's family moved. The girls only talked through letters now. And just when Emily thought she'd lose her best friend, her parents tell her that their marrying Emily off to a member of their family, Lord Barkis Bittern. Emily is overjoyed, ready to see her best friend again. But her dreams are shattered by stern parents and a rather unattractive Barkis. She messes up her vows horribly, and runs off in an emotional moment. Just when she thought the day couldn't get any worse, she ends up engaged to a corpse groom!(I'm aware it's not as cool as the name Corpse Bride but oh well)

Wine of Ages

by KristenHope24

“For I…” Emily’s eyes were full of unshed tears, she swallowed the lump in her throat, “For I will be…” I looked at her, trying to encourage her to continue. I know exactly what it’s like to forget my vows. “For I will be your wine.” I finish for her, bringing the goblet to my lips. “Wait!” She pushes the cup down as I swallow the gulp of wine. I feel the sweet liquid dribble down my chin.

His Last Duchess

by jobrker (johannabarkers)

Barkis leads the Everglots to a particular favorite of his. He calls the portrait of his late wife, "His Last Duchess." Although he has a wonderful story to go along with the painting, no one wonders how he became widowed in the first place.

The Death of Emily

by ModernKassandra

My interpretation of how Emily became a corpse bride. "A story of romance, passion...and a murder most foul."
