Is this the beginning of a new epidemic here in Grand Junction? Seems to me, a record number of engaged couples are calling off their weddings. Why is this?

Skimming through the western Slope Craigslist the other day, I came upon several listings for wedding dresses in Grand Junction. Unused, still in the box dresses.

beautiful dress with small beading, size 7. Still in sealed box. Cash only!

Cash only? Maybe she is looking to get out of town as soon as possible and hit a tropical island.

new and never worn except to take pictures. Size 2-4.

I'm guessing he cheated on her. Just a guess. I have no proof.

only worn once. In great condition. Size 18.

Was worn once. Not sure if that means in an actual ceremony or not, But, I was always under the impression that women keep their wedding dresses forever. They don't sell them after they get married.

beautiful wedding dress. Size 9/10 never been worn. Perfect condition.

Perfect condition? Doubt this one ever made down the aisle. Never have seen a wedding then reception where something didn't happen to the dress.

never worn wedding dress. Size 8-10 (larger on top). Comes with gloves, veil and assorted jewelry. My loss is your gain.

A couple of things strike immediately. The statement "my loss is your gain" is a great way to react to what was probably a terrible, heartbreaking situation.

So, what is going on? Could it some kind of a new Grand Valley curse on engaged couples? Maybe it's showing us that sometimes, you are not as ready for marriage as you may have thought.
