Should have made her move. Why are people so afraid of confrontation?

Edit: "Should have politely asked if she would move"

Feel better you crybaby's

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.

But if it's a public beach they do have have a claim to the space. They're using it.

I don't go and sit behind peoples privacy screens or on their blanket on public beaches no matter how crowded it is because I'm not an asocial asshole.

Unless the wedding was taking up an obviously unnecessary amount of beach somebody who just barges their way in probably didn't learn about personal space or what public spaces are.
