Love lost ... Cake won

So ... some things are hard to explain. John has out-of-state friends who have family here in Grand Junction. They were kind enough to order a three-tier wedding cake and a groom's cake for a relative's ceremony even though they weren't able to attend. We got a call this afternoon asking us to pick up the cake ... the wedding was cancelled. It's one of the oddest requests I've ever experienced. Now we have a load of cake to share. Their loss is our gain? And before you ask, we're assuming that the couple didn't care to eat the cake that was supposed to be a symbol of their marriage. When free cake's involved, we don't ask too many questions.

Yes, this involved a trip to the Wal-Mart Bakery.
