Guests assembled in the magnificent church, waiting anxiously for the arrival of the bride, Samantha Maurice. Looking dapper in his late 30s, the groom patiently awaited the appearance of his stunning bride. After a few minutes, the bride did not appear, and there was a palpable sense of tension. There was still no sign of the bride, but heads kept turning in anticipation. It wasn't long before Laura, the chief bridesmaid broke the silence as she ran frantically down the aisle, panting laboriously and announcing shakily that the bride had been abducted.
