This is the sad part of the story, kidnapping the bride
during her preparation and prior to her wedding. Rather than her cousin, it is her childhood
best friend. Her kidnapper is their best friend. A love triangle.
Traumatic experience of the gang of men kidnapping her prior
to her wedding, in front of her mother.
Their best friend and a group of his friends will take their place. Not during the preparation, but during a
bridal shower or bachelorette party.
Her lover is unaware, though she cries out for him. Because of this occurrence, she dreams a
horrific dream. Her dream portrays her
real life situation and reflects her fears of the kidnapping occurring
again. But this time, as she cries out,
she is seeing her lover crying back out for her in the streets to random
strangers (not seeing her because it’s a dream). A passer-by stones him to death for the
disturbance. The passer-by will be their
best friend instead, using a gun in modern day.

Telling the story to an elder woman, I am quite confused as
to whether this is her mother, grandmother, or another wise woman. She will be her grandmother in this story, because
of her closeness and relatable advice.
Because of her dream or nightmare, she is afraid of this
happening again and her lover being killed.
As the lady comforts her she tells her that it is merely a dream that won’t
come true, because it occurred in the daytime and nightmares are the opposite
in real life. This will stick, because I
have been told the same thing by my father, but retold by his advice.
In the end she will find solace in her dream rather than
fear and loathing.
