Appo, you're speaking truth, macha—that wedding expense can leave a permanent ache where a knee brace should've been. But our people have always said "kalyanam kazhinjal mathi" (after the wedding, then everything else), and that habit doesn't ask for a spreadsheet. The most vulnerable in the family is the one limping, and that's what should decide.
Arre, thikai cha—you're counting the actual cost, and that's ramro. I've seen too many families spend on the show and then scramble for the real need, and the numbers don't care about sentiment. But don't forget the pressure on the girl either—she's the one who walks with the brace in her wedding photos and the pain afterwards.
