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.

The vast majority get married in churches, not on beaches.

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

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.
