In such case, after the young people have escaped, the hero tells his fiancée, or bride, that he must leave her for a short visit to his own family.

She realizes what has happened and undertakes to overcome the magic forgetfulness. Frequently this does not occur until after the hero is about to marry again or even until after his marriage. In one series of tales she bribes the new bride to let her sleep beside her husband. He awakens on the third night and recovers. Or, in some cases, the forgotten bride may simply attract attention in some unusual fashion. For example, she places three lovers in embarrassing positions and arouses gossip.

The story always ends with the reunion of the couple and a happy marriage.
