Nuptial Doom
Emily Cavanaugh, was born to the wealthy Cavanaugh Family of Rosemount Plantation from a French nobleman and free woman. An only child, Emily was destined to inherit the family fortune. To her parent’s dismay, she was a daydreamer, endlessly playful, and was helpless old roamtic. Despite their best efforts, her parents never managed to get across the gravity of Emily’s financial and social situation.
When her parents were suddenly killed by a runaway carriage, the entire family fortune fell on Emily’s young shoulders. At a debutant ball, she meet Master William Gracey who had recently. An impressionable young woman of 19 years, she fell in love with William's boyish good looks and charm. After months of courtship with Willian, Emily felt a strong connection with this young gentleman, then he final proposed marriage and she accepted.
The ceremony was to be held at mansion itself, and that day brought most of the New Orleans elite to the property to see the union of the new couple. Anticipation was high, and hours before the ceremony was to begin there were many guests. Emily, the blushing bride, was enthusiastic and cheerful; William was seen laughing and smiling throughout the day, never having looked happier in his life. Everyone there seemed to be in joyous spirits.
Emily, being a traditionalist, began hunting through the mansion for those things a bride is supposed to have on her wedding day: something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. During her search, she found her way up to the mansion's attic, the perfect place to find something old; it was almost as if she were compelled to investigate. The last thing what happened to her, Emily was never seen... alive at least.
Later, when the bride failed to appear, a concerned wedding party began searching the house. Her body was eventually discovered in the attic, crumpled inside a closed trunk. A fatal wound on her head led all present to believe it was a tragic accident; some believed that it was Leota's jealous attempts to win over Gracey favor. Other claimed that jealous lover wanted Emily or Gracey for themselves. Which ever the case was, Emily's spirit still waits for her wedding that never happened.
