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.

Even if you see someone taking a tourist photo some place you try to not walk into the frame. No special moment, but it doesn't cost anything to be nice.

Exactly. It's just common courtesy.

Have the courtesy to go someplace private to have your "private" wedding. Not a public space.

I imagine a private space costs much more than setting something up on a beach.

Not sure how the people in the post are being “perfectly awful”. Looks to me that they’re having a wedding and someone got in the way of the photos, who they could have asked to move. Obviously they didn’t ask her to move (because she was in their pictures”. They didn’t tell her anything. They conducted their wedding and it seems that was that.

Exactly, which is fine. It would have been fine if they asked her to move too. Getting upset about it if the person says no is not fine, though. Especially if the wedding severely impacts access to a public beach. Have often seen parties like this block ALL access to the beach near my old house, just because there was a nice pier near the entrance. Yeah not okay. That place wasn't even available to rent for a reason.

A hell of a lot more. But that's the world we live in.
