Speech On Bride Kidnapping

The sun is radiating down on a young woman’s skin and she can feel the warmth that the wind is blowing towards her, this only leads her to think of what a great day today will be. As she’s walking to school, she can hear the gravel rub against her shoes when all of a sudden a van comes to a screeching stop only to have men spill out running towards her.
