The Bushy Bride comes from Andrew Lang's Red Fairy Book. It is a very similar story to Diamonds and Toads, in which a kind sister is greatly rewarded for her treatment of hidden fairies and an awful, cruel sister is punished. It also contains elements of 3s, like many other fairy tales (the kind sister visits the King she later marries 3 times before she claims she will leave forever and he manages to see her). It's Aarne-Thompson* type 403, which is the black-and-white bride. More after the jump.
