(Y/n) sat outside the tavern with her head in her hands. Something felt off to her.
"This just doesn't make sense. I thought Victoria was in love with Victor? How could she be marrying some newcomer?" She said to herself.
"Oh, Miss Plum, what am I to do? She just walked off, without saying a word."
She heard Emile's voice from inside and peered into the kitchen through a door.
"Give her some time dearie. I'm sure she's just concerned for her sister. She's got a big heart that one." Miss Plum reassured him.
"Yes, I suppose she does, doesn't she." Emile smiled at the thought of his lovely wife.
"My boy, we need to talk." Elder Gutknecht entered the room holding a book, with the maggot on top of it.
"Let me tell him. Please. Let me tell him." The Maggot cackled.
"What?" Emile asked.
"There is a complication with your marriage." Elder Gutknecht told him.
"I don't understand."
"The vows are binding only until death do you part."
"What are you saying?"
"Death has already parted you." He explained.
Emile gasped. "If she finds out she'll leave me. There must be something you can do!" He begged.
"Well, there is one way."
"Oh, please, please, let me tell him."
"It requires the greatest sacrifice."
"Go on, get to the good part." The Maggot urged.
"What is it?" Emile asked.
"We have to kill her!" The Maggot blurted out.
Emile looked shocked. "What?!"
"(Y/n) would have to give up the life she had forever. She would need to repeat her vows in the land of the living and drink from the wine of ages." Elder Gutknecht explained.
"Poison!" Emile breathed.
"This would stop her heart forever. Only then would she be free to give it to you."
"I could never ask her to do that." Emile sighed, and fell to his knees.
"You don't have to."
Emile looked up and saw the woman standing there.
"I'll do it." She declared.
"My dear girl, if you choose this path, you may never return to the world above. Do you understand?" Elder Gutknecht asked.
(Y/n) took Emile's hand and helped him stand up. She looked into his eyes and smiled up at him.
"I do."
...
Emile and (Y/n) climbed onto the statue that had a dead horse skeleton on it, and Emile lifted (Y/n) onto the horse by her waist and got the attention of the town.
"Gather round. Gather round everybody."
Everyone turned and faced the couple.
"We've decided to do this thing properly. I want to give my beautiful wife the wedding she deserves." Emile looked over at (Y/n) who blushed and looked down at her lap.
"So grab what you can and follow us. We're moving this wedding party upstairs." He announced.
🎵Chorus: "A wedding, a wedding. We're going to have a wedding."🎵
Emile hopped down from the statue, and extended his hand to (Y/n) and helped her down. Emile followed after the townsfolk and (Y/n) went to follow after him, but Miss Spider stopped him.
"Hold on, (Y/n). You can't get married looking like that." She gestured to her ripped dress and messed up hair.
Mrs. Spider whistled and a bunch of spiders lowered down, holding a beautiful wedding dress.
(Author: I pictured this as you wearing Emily's dress, but less torn up and ragged, but you can imagine something different if you want.)
The spiders led (Y/n) to a room where she could change into the dress.
🎵Spiders: "The spiders think your the best, but goodness knows you need a dress. But have no fears were quite adept. We'll have you looking lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, yet."🎵
The spiders crawled along her arms and made adjustments to the dress.
🎵Spiders: "A little stitch, a little tuck some tender loving care. A little thread will fix you up and we've got plenty as you see and personally guarantee our quality repairs."🎵
They combed through her hair, straightening it out and styled it for her.
🎵Spiders: "A little here, I'll fix the mess, we're going to do our very best. When everybody sees you they will all be quite impressed. They will all be quite impressed."🎵
(Y/n) stepped out and twirled around, showing off her beautiful dress
🎵Chorus: "A wedding! We're going to have..."🎵
...
Miss Plum was planning out Emile and (Y/n)'s wedding cake.
🎵Miss Plum: "A wedding cake is no mistake. It must be quite sublime."🎵
🎵Worker: "We're missing something."🎵
🎵Worker: "Try some dust."🎵
🎵Miss Plum: "I wish I had more time."🎵
🎵Worker: "Perhaps there's something I can do, these bones might help a bit."🎵
The worker accidentally knocked the other workers nose into the pot.
🎵Worker: "Oh, my nose!"🎵
🎵Worker: "Sorry."🎵
🎵Miss Plum: "Wait a minute, that's it."🎵
🎵Worker: "Voilà!"🎵
🎵Worker: "A little that."🎵
🎵Worker: "A little this."🎵
🎵All: "The perfect cake is hard to miss. A wedding, a wedding. We're going to have a wedding."🎵
...
🎵Chorus: "Huzzah! Huzzah! We're going to have a wedding. A wedding. Let's all get out a cheer cause the groom is getting married today. Hooray!"🎵
🎵Chorus: "One thing you can surely say is we will stand beside. Until the end we will defend our good friends lovely bride."🎵
🎵Chorus: "Our bride-to-be, our bride-to-be will stay by his side. And help love bloom for our one and only charming Corpse Groom."🎵
Two soldiers came up and patted Emile on the back.
🎵Chorus: "Huzzah! Hooray! Huzzah! Hooray!"🎵
🎵Chorus: "Our groom is getting married today."🎵
Everyone gathered around Emile and waited for his bride.
🎵"Oh, there she is."🎵
🎵"Here she comes."🎵
(Y/n) descended elegantly down the stairs in the wedding dress holding a bouquet of flowers.
🎵Chorus: "Oh, our groom's bride is here. He's waited for this day for many a year. For this day, for this day our hopes and our pride, the bride is here. Here comes the bride."🎵
A few spiders lowered down from the ceiling and placed a flower crown on her head that had a long veil attached to it.
Emile stared at (Y/n) with absolute awe. He didn't think it was possible for someone to look so beautiful.
🎵Chorus: "Here comes the bride. Here comes the bride. For this day, for this day, will last forever. And all of his friends will work together."🎵
🎵Chorus: "To make it the perfect day he's always dreamed, our hopes and our pride, our groom, our groom finally has his bride."🎵
Emile and (Y/n) stared at each other with love in their eyes until they were dragged away from each other to start heading upstairs.
...
🎵Chorus: "We're going to have a party like nobody's ever seen. The living in the land above will not know where they've been."🎵
A bunch of skeletons lifted up the large cake Miss Plum had made that was several layers high and had a miniature version of (Y/n) and Emile on it.
...
Everyone started marching towards the Land of the Living, (Y/n) and Emile being led up with them.
🎵Chorus: "The land above. The party of...the groom."
🎵Chorus: "Here comes the bride and the groom, on this glorious day of days. Up to the Land of the Living to celebrate!"🎵
