Thirumuruga kripananda varriar swamigal once said" we lavishly spend on wedding parties but, when it comes to printing wedding invitation card we show our stinginess. The salutations used for bride is Sowbhagyavathi(a woman blessed with (all forms) of luck)and the groom is addressed as chiranjivi (a man who remains immortal). However, if one read through the wedding invitation card one could see abridged version of their salutations as "sow" "chi" prefixing their names.
The word "sow" has various meanings one of them is ---an adult female pig. And when you mention "chi" in tamil it is something disgusting or detesting in nature. The most auspicious happening is marriage in one's life just because of the stinginess the very meaning of marriage gets degraded can't we rectify it?".
