Kelly Andrews didn't believe in the condo curse.

Neither did Tricia Weedon, who lived there before her.

Kelly and Matt Andrews were married Oct. 20, 2007. She met him on a blind date shortly after she moved into the condo.

Though they'd been warned, the two didn't believe they would end up like Rebecca Wise.

The entity that haunts condo 163 at Buckhead's Cross Creek is the Spirit of Nuptials. The last three women to buy the condo were single.

Each has gotten married in the past two years.

Andrews and Weedon both said that there was very little turnover among their neighbors and that the marriage trend was a topic of conversation at the development with more than 900 units.

"We've met many residents who have literally lived there decades and still have no intentions to move in the near future," Andrews said.

"Yet this one particular unit that we're in seems to have a revolving door of girls who buy as a single person but leave with a husband. With no intentions to marry in the near future, I assumed I'd be the one to break the tradition. But I'm glad to be keeping the tradition alive!"

With a solid job in public relations, Andrews, now 28, was settling into the single lifestyle.

"Then I moved to Atlanta and I had my dream job, in my dream city, and while I wasn't having much luck in love, I was OK with that," she said.

In August 2006, Andrews bought her first place.

"I was so proud of myself because I was doing this on my own, wasn't waiting to maybe get married some day, and I certainly wasn't going to settle," she said. "I was too happy with my life."

Realtor Lori Gandy warned Andrews that soon, she would fall in love and marry.

Andrews scoffed at the idea — then promptly met a guy on a blind date after moving in. Three months later, he proposed. Four months after that, they were married.

Guess who's selling now?

"It seems like it's the perfect time to keep the tradition alive and hopefully give someone else the opportunity to meet the person of their dream," said Andrews, who plans to sell the condo by owner.

Andrews was following the lead of Weedon, who was convinced she'd found a great bachelorette pad.

"The day I closed, that night, we got together," Weedon said of her now husband.

"We were friends, and it's not like that it was the night I knew he was the one, but I moved in the condo in March, he moved in with me in July and we were married in September."

Weedon herself had bought the place from a newlywed bride, though love came more slowly to Rebecca Wise.

"I moved in in 1984 and had no intention of ever marrying again," Rebecca said.

"I was just fine being single. Then I was introduced to this man and changed my mind."

She married in 2005.

At the time, Rebecca of course had no knowledge of the powers of condo 163.

Maybe she should have.

Back in 1980, Phillip Hatley sold the condo to Wise.

He had met his wife while living in the condo.

Four for four. Buyer Beware.
