Why is it "people"? Is there any difference with using "person"?

"People" is the plural form of "person". So the use of "people" here instead of the singular "person" indicates that there are multiple people who want to marry her. If she had used "person" in this sentence, it would mean that there's one other person who wants to marry her. Here's an example of the plural form "people" and the singular "person": Ex: There are a lot of people in the train station. Ex: There's a person standing outside by the bus stop.
