Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen ending explained
In a last effort to stop the chaos, Nicky agrees to go ahead with the wedding. However, by this stage, it is already too late. The damage has been done, and more lives are lost, including his sister. The ceremony takes place, but it is no longer about love. It becomes an act of desperation, driven by fear rather than faith.
Nicky and Rachel’s fate
Yet, Nicky manages to walk away alive. The reason is that he has unwavering faith in Rachel as his true soulmate. Rachel’s tragic fate is far more tragic than Nicky’s because by the time of her wedding, she has stopped believing in Nicky as her true soulmate. This is what dooms her from the very beginning. She ends up dying of exposure out in the snow after the wedding.

Rachel is resurrected in a chilling turn of events, but not as herself. She is resurrected as a new Witness, condemned to witness future weddings in her lineage and witness the same tragedy play out.
Rachel is shown in the final scenes as eerily composed. She cautions a young relative in her lineage to be careful when selecting a mate and then departs quietly. Driving away from the wreckage of her wedding, Rachel accepts her fate in a hint that the curse is far from over.
