The Alter, Dark and Silent

I buy my cheap used business clothes (ack) in the clothing forum of CraigsList. Almost every time I'm there, I see one of these:

**Gorgeous Wedding Dress, never worn...

**Size 8 designer wedding gown, was never worn, make an offer...

**Unfinished cream wedding dress, never got worn...


Is it my overly sentimental and sensitive imagination, or is this just terribly, terribly... sad?
