"Sometimes there is a delay between the wedding ceremony and the reception so the wedding party can be photographed. Rather than being confused, use your imagination. These days there could be many reasons for a delay -- the limo ran out of gas, someone's zipper stuck, the bride went into labor..."

This article is from "Dear abby". I guess my question is related to "Distributive plural".

In the first sentence, single nouns (a delay, the wedding ceremony, the reception) are used , then what about using plural nouns in this case?

"There are delays between the wedding ceremonies and the receptions" is ok?

I referred to "Practical english usage" and found some information which is probably related to my question at p 523

In section 2, It says we can use either singular and plural nouns for repeated events ,and I think the first sentence I mentioned above is related to an repeated event.

It also says If details aren't given, plural nouns are preferable, and If details of the time or situation are given, singular nouns are preferable.

I guess the first sentence expresses a repeated events, and that because the details of time are given, the writer used singular nouns instead of using plural nouns.

am I understanding correctly? I need your help.
