Wight in a Wedding Dress | comment |
A darling of Gothic Horror, ghosts in wedding dresses are common sighting both in fiction and Real Life accounts. Often they are the ghosts of women who have died on their wedding day, forever haunting wherever they died without the satisfaction of saying her vows and consummating the union. The idea is not just applied to disembodied spirits. Zombies and vampires are also likely to wear them, often stained with gore to emphasize the blasphemy of such unholy abominations wearing clothes meant for a sacred occasion. Sub-Trope of Incongruously-Dressed Zombie, Jacob Marley Apparel, and Ethereal White Dress. May be the result of being Widowed at the Wedding, and a visual representation of Wedding/Death Juxtaposition. If purposefully invoked for real weddings, see Themed Wedding. See also Cute Ghost Girl, Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl, Death and the Maiden, and Living Statue (The Venus of Ille and the like). |

Hellboy: Koshchei the Deathless was leader of a mercenary band in life, with an Ignored Enamored Underling named Elena. Long after she'd died imprisoned, he dug her up (having brutally murdered the men who'd killed her), reanimated (not truly resurrected, that was beyond him) and married her... just as a much younger and beautiful woman a glamoured-up Baba Yaga showed up to take the spot. The last that's seen of Elena is her corpse in a wedding dress endlessly repeating "Koshchei...". | |

Great Expectations: A Trope Codifier. Miss Havisham is not a wight, though one could very easily mistake her for one. The trauma of being left at the altar while her groom ran off with her money has aged her prematurely, making her look like she's ready to doze off into the grave when she's not even forty. On the day she was left unmarried, she sent everyone home and has since been living like a recluse — away from the sun, forever dressed in her wedding gown, and surrounded by her wedding decorations, food included. When Pip meets her, he is simultaneously reminded of a "ghastly waxwork" he's seen at the fair and "a skeleton in the ashes of a rich dress" he once witnessed being dug up. | |

Raid: Shadow Legends: Rotos the Lost Groom and Siphi the Lost Bride are members of the Undead Hordes. They and their guests were murdered on the day of the couple's wedding on orders of a money-lender who sought revenge against Rotos for skipping on his debts for over a decade. Because Rotos had spent that time as a pirate, he wasn't missed and not much was done by law enforcement to catch the murderers. The locals, however, did bury them, only to find that two roses left on the couple's graves turned an eerie shade of blue. The couple's murderers are the first to find out that it's a blue that represents the couple's ghostly hide, but none of them lives to tell. | |

Bloodborne: Invoked by Queen Yharnam's attire, which looks like a Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress, symbolizing her backstory as the metaphorical "wife" of an Old One and the failed mother of its child, the stillborn god Mergo. Given how this happened thousands of years before the game, it is also pretty clear that she is not alive anymore in the conventional sense — not that it makes any difference in this universe. | |

The Innkeepers: The main ghost at the Yankee Pedlar Inn is Madeline O'Malley, a bride who hanged herself in the 1800s when her groom changed his mind at the altar. The urban legend goes that the owners of the inn hid her body in the basement to avoid bad publicity. The ghost hunter Claire becomes obsessed with Madeline and tries to come in contact with her, but the ghost bride lures her into the basement, where Claire dies from a stress-induced asthma attack. | |

Alpha Flight: In "Rage Against the Dying of the Light!", the team goes up against Amy Brewer, a mutant with the power to raise the dead. Her power awakened upon her own death, which happened from food poisoning right before her marriage to Malcolm Codsworth. She was buried in her wedding dress, only to furiously rise from her grave and command a legion of zombies to abduct her groom and half the town to finally have her wedding. Alpha Flight stands no chance against her undead army, but Aurora reasons that Amy's power will deactivate if she's placated with the wedding she so desires. Malcolm agrees to it, holding Amy in his arms when she happily makes her vows and dies for good. | |

It is in here, where it is just the two of them, that John confirms to May that he's dead, frightening her to death. He himself disappears from the carriage before it comes to a halt at May's family home. | |

Insidious: It is revealed that Josh Lambert possesses the same ability to enter The Further, a dark netherworld home to various restless spirits and demons, that his son Dalton has. It is explained that as a child, he was the target of a sinister apparition that took the form of an elderly woman wearing a pitch-black wedding dress simply known as The Bride in Black, who intended on taking over his body. By the end of the first film, in Josh's efforts to bring Dalton back to the real world, his body winds up being possessed by the bride. In the sequel Insidious: Chapter 2, her backstory is expanded upon, revealing him to be a Creepy Crossdresser serial killer who was driven to madness by his abusive mother, his intent to possess the young Josh born from a desire to live a normal childhood. | |

Giselle: Wilis are the spirits of women who were jilted by their lovers prior to marriage. It depends on the production how much the wilis resemble brides. Under the reign of Queen Myrtha, they dance together and force any man who crosses their path into dancing himself to death. Giselle herself becomes one when she dies from either madness or suicide when it turns out that she's her fiancé's other woman. However, the revelation doesn't diminish her love and she saves Albrecht when a swarm of wilis ensnares him. | |

Mary Zimmerman's 2007 Metropolitan Opera production of Lucia Di Lammermoor: Two examples of this trope are present. The first is in Act II, when Lucia sings of seeing the ghost of a young woman beckoning her: in this staging, the audience actually sees the apparition, who wears a white dress. Later, in the final scene, the ghost of Lucia herself appears in the same white dress and a wedding veil, beckoning her lover Edgardo, and finally guiding his hand as he stabs himself so they can be Together in Death. | |

The heroes try to help her out by digging up the corpse of her would-be groom and bring it along with the ring to the chapel. If successful, an apparition in black rises from the remains and marries the Ghost Bride, after which they both disappear. On the other hand, the traitor tries to help by getting one of the heroes killed to serve as the Ghost Bride's groom. | |

Koudelka: A monster called "Mummy Bride" is fought as a boss early in the game. She's most likely the "mad woman" mentioned in the Guard's Diary. She was a merchant's daughter whose hand had been promised to the heir of a wealthy family, but the groom-to-be had a change of heart and abandoned her. She was subsequently locked in the monastery to keep her out of the public eye. The guards cruelly forced to wear her wedding dress until the day she died. | |

The Fall of the House of Usher (1928, France): Upon her apparent death, Madeline is prematurely entombed in her wedding dress. When she wakes up, she claws her way to freedom and in a barely lucid state stumbles her way back home to her husband Roderick. She appears to him and his guest as if she'd risen from her grave through supernatural means, but because Roderick already couldn't shake the concern that he buried his wife alive, neither man doubts that Madeline is, in fact, not undead. Any initial emotions from the eerie reunion have to wait when the house falls apart and they have to get out. | |

Batman: In "Wail of the Ghost Bride!", Bruce reads up on the mysterious death of Corrine Hellbane, a wealthy woman who fell overboard during her honeymoon 41 years ago. Her husband, Alex March, was suspected of having pushed her for her money, but nothing could be proven. Whether a true ghost or Batman's overactive imagination, he sees her bridal image everywhere and hears her pleas to solve her case. He makes his way to Hellbane Manor the night it's to be demolished and finds Alex there tearing open a wall that holds Corrine's remains from the day she was wedded. She never left the house and Alex had another pose as her on the boat so that any investigation would be far away from Corrine's true resting place. | |

Realm of the Mad God: The Troll Matriarch and the Ghost Bride are mother and daughter and serve as the first two bosses of the Haunted Cemetery. The gruesome murder of the bride on her wedding day by "a familiar face" (implied not to be the groom) has left them in an undead state powered by strong emotions. While the Troll Matriarch makes use of an army, the Ghost Bride fights mostly on her own, first by possessing the statues Fate and Glory, then by fighting as herself. One of the skins available for the Assassin is Vampire Groom. |

hololive: A rare example not played for horror is to be found in the Indonesian branch member Kureiji Ollie, whose second outfit - while not the white wedding dress familiar to Western audiences - invokes a traditional Indonesian bridal dress. This seems to be a nod to her tendency to trick her senpais into saying things like "Do you want to marry me?" in a language they don't understand. | |

Left 4 Dead 2: The Passing: The party has to move through an outdoor wedding that was interrupted by the Zombie Apocalypse. There's a Witch in a wedding gown sobbing on the altar, but she won't attack if you keep your distance and don't do anything to disturb her... like, say, hitting the switch to start playing the wedding march on a speaker system. There is, naturally, an achievement for doing just that. | |

Twisted Wonderland: A character visually based on the Beating Heart Bride from The Haunted Mansion, Eliza is the ghost of a princess of a fallen kingdom. Her dream of marrying her ideal prince was never fulfilled in life, so every year she and her ghost servants arrive at Night Raven College to search for a suitable living man to be her groom; fittingly, she wears a tattered white bridal gown and a rose crown veil on her head. During the Ghost Marriage ~Proposal of Destiny~ event, she gets married to Chubby, another ghost who has been in love with her for half a millennium. | |

Bram Stoker's Dracula: Lucy after she comes back to life as a vampire is found wearing the white dress she was buried in. Word of God claims that it was deliberately designed to evoke the design of a wedding dress, her subsequent death and vampirization occurs at the same time as when Mina and Jonathan marry in Transylvania. While Mina's wedding dress was designed to fit the Victorian standard to emphasize Mina's modesty, Lucy's costume was meant to emphasize her new lack of humanity, the lace and frills comparable to that of a clown or a lizard. | |

Gwain Saga: A long time ago, two jellyfishes made a pact to meet on the South Coast on what would become Bride's Island to marry. The bride showed up, but the groom didn't. Considering he's a lost soul in the present, he likely perished on the way. The bride, in any case, perished from a broken heart and came to haunt Bride's Island. In the present of Episode 8, the two reunite due to intervention from Geo and Ami and ascend to the afterlife together after completing their wedding ceremony. | |

Extreme Ghostbusters: In "Till Death Do We Start", the workaholic Leonard Bates happens upon a wishing well and wishes for a wife to ease his loneliness. The well gifts him a woman fashioned for a wedding, but its evil nature promptly shows as the bride's skin vanishes and she proceeds to gradually drains him of his life force with kisses. Whenever Leonard escapes, she easily catches up by travelling through reflective surfaces. After some failures, the ghostbusters realize that the only way to destroy the bride is to destroy the well, because it will just keep making more copies to honor Leonard's wish. | |

The Curse of Monkey Island: Guybrush encounters a ghost bride named Minnie in the Goodsoup Crypt on Blood Island. She was left to die of a broken heart by her "schnoobums" LeChuck, who only wanted the diamond from her engagement ring. To help her (and get the engagement band), Guybrush tracks down the corpse of another man who could've convinced Minnie to marriage, Charles DeGoulash. He catapults it over to the crypt, where the lovers reunite and ghost-marry each other. | |

Haunted Mansion (2023): Because of her rank as one of the most recognizable ghosts from the ride, the Bride appears three times in the movie; at the beginning (she's the ghost that convinces Travis the house is haunted), in the middle (when Ben is trying to get the trunk from her attic and she's been ordered to stop him), and in the film's climax, where she's one of the ghosts Kent convinces to make a Heel–Face Turn to stop the Hatbox Ghost. She's visibly more...decayed than some of her previous incarnations (such as the animatronics in the Disneyland ride, the Disney World ride, and Melanie Ravenwood of the Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris), which are portrayed as beautiful but dangerous (or just beautiful, in Melanie's case). | |

Brütal Legend: Brides are a type of support infantry unit of the Drowning Doom faction. They are dressed in wedding gowns and carry around a parasol with a perpetual rain cloud that debuffs enemies. They can't directly attack enemies, but if an opponent attacks them they'll retaliate with a lightning bolt from their rain cloud (Drowned Ophelia can directly attack with the Bride's lightning bolts during a team attack). | |

Her description notes that there's a legend of a weeping bride who searches for her lost husband along the river bank and who kills anyone she encounters out of spite for their ability to be happy. | |

Ghost Master: In life, the banshee Brigit was a hopeless romantic who wanted nothing more than to get married. However, she was wooed by a lecherous sleazebag who ultimately stood her up at the altar. Driven insane by this act of cruelty, Brigit was institutionalized and escaped some years later to commit suicide by lightning. Her seething bridal spirit can be recruited by given her the opportunity to enact revenge upon a philandering man, that being Dr. Seth Greenwood. | |

Hey Arnold!: An urban legend holds that 80 years ago a woman, Cynthia Snell, was to be married to a man she loved very much. He, however, stood her up at the altar so that he could marry her sister the very next day. Enraged, Cynthia donned her wedding dress the night following her sister's wedding, got herself a well-sharpened axe, walked thirteen blocks to her sister's house, and hacked the newlyweds to pieces in their sleep. The cops found her throwing rice at the corpses while humming the Wedding March, and before they could overcome their shock, Cynthia had already jumped out of the window to her death. She was buried in her wedding dress and the story goes that each year her humming ghost returns to make more victims. An investigation by the kids suggests that, if nothing else, the legend's ghostly humming is real. | |

Epic Seven: The Banshee Queen Rubellite (and higher-strength Palette Swap versions in the later Banshee Hunt stages) is a ghoulish bride. With some variants, her outfit more closely resembles a bridal gown, but the overarching design motif is present in all variants. To an extent, the same goes for her Banshee underlings. | |
