To GAW: you say tuition is negligible compared to the chasuna. Not sure what you mean. Say you have a family that can barely afford a Bais Faiga type packaged deal chasuna, goes with one man band, gamach flowers, gown etc. Their kids may or may not be eligible for PELL, etc. (and their girls, who are in school, have to take out their own student loans as they will be capable of starting to pay them back once they finish school and start working). For these parents, as much as they want to help support their kids, they simply CAN’T. There are a lot of us out there.
