Two aristocratic families pair off their less-than-satisfied children, believing they will all be escalated into high society. Yet when clumsy Victor Van Dort (Depp) rehearses his vows in the woods, he accidentally marries the Corpse Bride(Bonham-Carter), throwing a great wrench in everyone's plans.

　　19世纪欧洲的一个村庄，出身贵族的维克多(Victor，约翰尼·德普配音)是一个有天赋的钢琴家。他接受了父母亲的安排，要把出自曾是贵族之家的 Victoria娶为妻子。害羞直率的维克多对婚礼相当紧张，他一直嘴里念叨着结婚时的誓词，害怕忘了。当他一个人走在林间时，维克多跪在地上，把结婚戒指套在地上一根小树枝上想多练习一遍。谁料顷刻间地动山摇，泥土中爬出一位穿着婚纱的僵尸——那根树枝是她腐烂的手指！这骷髅矗立在维克多面前，娇柔而阴冷地说：“你可以亲你的新娘了……”维克多才知道大难临头……

　　Victor: I will be your wine.

　　Corpse 1: She's havinga second thought.

　　Emily: I can't.

　　Victor: What's wrong?

　　Victor: Victoria?

　　Barkis: Oh, how touching! I always cry at weddings. The young lovers together at last. Surely now they can live happily ever after. But you forget, she's still my wife. I will not leave here empty-handed!

　　Emily: You!

　　Barkis: Uhh, Emily?

　　Emily: You!

　　Barkis: But, but……I left you.

　　Emily: Left me dead.

　　Barkis: This woman is obviously delusional. Sorry to cut it short, but we must be on our way.

　　Victor: Take you hands off her.

　　Barkis: Do I have to kill you too?

　　Corpse 2: Victor, catch! Sorry.

　　Corpse 3: I say, play it fair, sir.

　　Barkis: Too shame, my dear.

　　Emily: Get out!

　　Barkis: Oh, I'm leaving. But first a toast to Emily, always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Tell me, my dear, can a heart still break when it stops beating?

　　Maggot: Let me have him, let me have him, don't let him……

　　Corpse 4: Wait, we must abide by their rules. We are amongst the livings.

　　Barkis: Well said.

　　Maggot: Not any more.

　　Corpse 5: Yes, you're right. He's all yours.

　　Corpse 2: New arrival.

　　Victoria: Oh, Victor, I never thought I'd see you again.

　　Victor: Wait. I made the promise.

　　Emily: You kept your promise. You set me free. Now I can do the same for you.
