So I tried some others, just to see: • Monster Bride : 63.7% • Monster's Bride : 69% • The Bride of My Life : 69% • Fierce Bride : 69% • Elsa's Bride : 83% All of 'em are figurative. I wouldn't mind "Fierce Bride," but the others are lousy. I wonder why putting the name of a person into it ("Elsa's Bride") made it jump so high?
