...dreamed that I was in a big Banff-Springs-Styled hotel/shopping mall somewhere in the Drumheller Valley, I'm to be marrying a couple of the regular customers in the restaurant, waiting in a church inside the hotel, the bride has arrived, but there's no groom or guests...
Some parts of the hotel are open to the sky, the ceiling is in ruins, like an old castle, and a storm breaks and so I retire into the church to wait it out, the bride has disappeared...
...popping my head out, wondering at the absence of guests, I look down the open hall and see them all assembled in the lounge, they see me, wave, laugh, joke, they're all here, and I realize that I'm not really a minister or priest and what exactly am I supposed to be doing...?
It doesn't matter, there's a big parade through town, Drumheller, all the residents, shopkeepers, they're there, dressed up as performers, acrobats, larger than life characters, and as I roll through with the parade I'm impressed, they're all dancing their best, the music, festival, is amazing, Superbowl quality, first class, and as the parade passes they step into line and follow, they're all abandoning the town, it's done, over, and I wonder if some will have to go back to the ghost town to wrap up their affairs, or is it now, really, all done? ... The parade is amazing...
...buried three husbands...

She's my age, or close enough, sitting with a couple of her children and regulars, not attractive, or unattractive, merely average. Nondescript.
The owner's explaining her history to me...she's buried all three of her ex husbands, all well positioned and insured, she's handsomely well off, not looking to get married, just date...
I don't ask the circumstances, but three husbands at my age suggests a little more than coincidence, bad luck or carelessness. The owner, he wants to set her up with J***, it sounds like a good match to me...

Found these thrift shopping today, heavy, quite beaten up and worn from polishing, an auctioneers serial # lightly engraved inside the base, 10" high, Gothic (ish) in style and if I had to guess were used in a church. If you have any other ideas I'd love to hear them...
