Today, you are cordially invited to a dead wedding. These are stories about brides and grooms,

and what goes wrong when you love someone to death. First, we'll listen to a new take on the urban

legend of the missing bride. Then we'll learn about the origins of Las Siona, escape an entity at

bride's pool, and pick up a hitchhiker in Venezuela.

I receive hundreds of amazing story submissions every single week. As always, the first story

you hear is one that I've chosen to animate and post over at YouTube.com slash snarled.

Then I read a few more stories for this podcast.

If you have a tale you're dying to share, send me an email at something scary at snarled.com.

So, want to hear something scary?

The following story is a new take on an old urban legend.

There once was a couple, Daniel and Melinda, who seemed to be over the moon in love.

One of the things that brought them together was their competitive nature.

They liked to push each other to be the best versions of themselves. Of course, all the

competitiveness was friendly and well-intentioned. It sometimes meant silly little games of tag

here and there, or maybe some nights of hide-and-seek. They were both sort of adult children. After many years,

they became engaged and were off to the races competing with each other to see who could find

the best venue for the best price. But there was one point of tension in the relationship.

Daniel was incredibly jealous of Melinda's best friend from childhood, Angelica.

He was convinced that this so-called friend was in love with his bride to be,

and she would try and sabotage the wedding by any means possible.

Melinda always had to reassure him that he was overthinking things and that there was nothing to worry about.

You have no reason to feel this way. Angelica is my oldest friend.
