Corpse Bride is set in 19th-century European village, where Victor (Johnny Depp) is travelling home with his friend to get married to Victoria (Emily Watson). The two stop to rest in the woods, and as a joke, Victor puts his wedding ring on a finger-shaped stick in the ground and says his wedding vows.

Film Fetish trivia:
The legend of the Corpse Bride began as a nighttime horror story in 19th century Russia. Anti-Semitism was strong, and Jewish girls would often be ambushed and murdered on their way to their own weddings in order to prevent bearing future generations.

Because of the Jewish tradition of being buried with the clothes one died in, these girls would invariably be laid to rest wearing their blood-splattered bridal gowns.
