F A I R Y T A L E:

The story of the corpse bride goes back to a Jewish-Russian folk tale in which a young man, en route to his wedding, sees what he takes for a gnarled stick or tree root poking out of the ground, looking like a bony hand with finger extended like the hand of a bride. Jokingly, he takes the ring from his pocket and places it on the “stick,” reciting his marriage vows and dancing around his “bride” three times singing the Jewish wedding song. (Link)
