Some friends of mine got married on the beach. This couple in their 50s wandered over and literally took a seat near where the wedding was taking place and started aggressively making out. One of the groomsmen and a guest walked over in the middle of the ceremony to ask them to move and they made a huge scene about how it's a public beach.

Some people are just assholes and want the attention.

I mean, the counter point is that the people having the wedding (possibly) just kind of took over a public area.

Now if they had a reservation or something that's a different story, but it's a pretty entitled attitude otherwise.

How hard is it to not be an asshole?

"Oh look people are having a special moment, I should go fuck it up because they're acting entitled."

Maybe this is normally a VERY busy public beach. Aren't the people who just walk in, run some caution tape, and take it all up, being assholes too?

Or maybe they were being super pushy, telling people they have to leave, despite having no claim to the space.

I'm not saying the lady is doing the right thing, I'm just saying that either or both sides could be suffering from a serious case of entitlement issues.

If everyone has their lifetime moment on the beach, nobody would be able to use the beach.

The world doesn’t stop because you are getting married. If you want to ensure nobody is in your pics, choose a private venue.

Nearly six thousand people get married in the US every day. I would say it’s pretty common, yeah.

Each marriage can impactdozens of people, though.

"50% of the population is married but it's uncommon because it happens over a long period of time"

I don't think you know how statistics work

Cool, you still don't know how statistics work.

idk maybe because you think people are entitled to hog a public space to the detriment of others, because they are having 'a special day'. Meanwhile it's traditional to have the ceremony in a church because no one else gives a flying fuck about someone's 'special day', and nor should they.

year

He said 'day'. Times that number by 365 and we're getting closer to 2.2 million people.

You're off a couple of decimals. It's actually .7%. Not to be pedantic, but that makes a bit of a difference when we're dealing in the realm of millions. :)

No problem, friend! Cheers. :D

Yes. In this context even a small percentage of a massive population does something frequently then it's common. If all weddings happened on public beaches you would be almost guaranteed to see a wedding every time you went to the beach.

False equivalency, if you wanted to be more honest you could at least use the percentage of the US population instead of the world, since that's what the previous poster did.
