Did this 'Oblivious Lady' Ruin a Beach Wedding? Join the Heated Discussion–Was She Wrong or Not?
- Replies 17
Weddings are special occasions–a time for friends and family to come together and celebrate the love between two people. However, when one particular beach wedding was interrupted by an 'oblivious lady,' it sparked a heated discussion online over who was really to blame.
Cory posted to social media a video of an uninvited guest trudging through the ceremony on a stretch of beach. In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 1.4 million times, viewers can see the bride waiting to walk down the aisle with her bridesmaids by her side. As she prepares to move forward, an oblivious woman–who is wearing a black bathing suit, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses with a towel draped over her shoulders–marches across the aisle from the opposite direction.
The exchange has sparked a discussion–some blaming the oblivious lady, while others claiming the couple were to blame for choosing to have their ceremony in a busy public space.
One side of the debate said that the woman was at fault for not respecting the wedding party, with one user saying 'I get that it's a public beach but that lady in the beach hat could have patiently waited for the wedding procession to pass.'
Another user added, 'People can be such j****! I love that the bride said something to her.'
On the other hand, some argued that it was the bride and groom who were to blame for hosting the ceremony in a public space.
One user commented, 'Still trying to figure out what she did wrong.'
Another user said, 'They don't own the beach because they're getting married.'
If you're planning a special celebration or any public event on a beach in Australia, it's essential to be familiar with the laws and regulations. Much like the couple in question, you might consider the beach as a wedding destination, but it's always best to ensure you're maintaining common courtesy and respect for all beachgoers.
Most of Australia's beaches are public land, managed by local councils or other groups, with laws varying depending on the council's specific rules. However, concepts of respect and consideration remain universal.
Generally, hosting such events usually involves obtaining a permit–especially if large numbers of people are expected. You'd also need to be mindful of restrictions on certain activities–alcohol consumption, for instance, is usually prohibited or restricted.
One beachgoer said 'Living on the beaches of Gold Coast, we see a lot of celebratory events and, yes, some do cause inconvenience to regular beachgoers. But most people hold these events with permission, ensuring minimum disruptions.'
Furthermore, to avoid potential misunderstandings or issues, it is recommended for couples or event planners to put up temporary visual cues or measures to inform other beachgoers of their special event.
So, before you make the sand your stage or the sea your backdrop, understanding the laws around holding public beach events in Australia might save you from a potential 'oblivious lady' scenario of your own!
