This whole plot is mainly based off of the movie corpse bride so y'all probably already know whatsuppp.
Happy Halloween!

"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows
Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine
With this candle, I will light your way into darkness
With this ring, I ask you to be mine."
You arose from the ground, a surge of hope running through your body.
You opened your eyes and you were face to face with a blond man.
He stared horridly at you, almost as if he'd seen a dead person.
Which in this case, he did.
You reached out towards the man, but he stepped back.
"Hey, where are you going?" You asked the man as he stumbled off.
"T-this isn't real." He mumbled.
You watched him bump into a tree, and then another.
"You're going to hurt yourself." You stated as he tried to run off.
"Wait!" You yelled as you stretched your arm out.
Stumbling into one more tree, the blond finally fell.

"Is he waking up?" You asked the dead surrounding him.
"It seems to be so." Melda replied.
She gave you a genuine smile, almost motherly.
You watched as the man's eyes fluttered, his blue eyes shining under the light.
"Hello, are you feeling okay?" You asked him.
He jumped up, backing up into the corner of the room.
"Where am I? Who are you people? Why's that skeleton moving? I want questions!" He rambled.
"I believe you mean 'I want answers' young man." Gilbert said.
"Yes, answers. That's what I want." He stated.
"We're married, you proposed to me earlier." You smiled, holding up your hand.
He stared at the ring, a look of confusion on his face.
"And we're in the underworld, since you'll be living here now. We're all dead." You explained.
"Dead? But I didn't die." He questioned.
You thought for a bit until he asked another question.
"Who are you, and how'd you die?" He asked.
Gilbert scoffed.
"That's a long story young man, but we can shorten it up for you." He said.
Melda nodded her head.
"This young lady here was a wealthy one back when she was alive. She met a young good-looking stranger low on cash. She fell hard and fast, and when her father said no to her wishes, she decided to elope with him." Gilbert started.
"Late that night, after grabbing some essential things, she waited for her lover in the very forest you proposed to her. She waited and waited, and finally no hope remained. That's when she was murdered and sent on her way." Melda added.
"Then you came along and vowed to stay by my side forever." You smiled as you held onto his arm.
The blond stared at you almost frightened.
