RITSUKO:“We've been invited to so many weddings lately,

UrsusArctos: Although she's talking about her perpetually dire financial situation, it somehow seems far better than in Episode 12 with its Ramen Shop celebratory dinner. She does get to go to a pretty snazzy place later in the episode too, although going to snazzy places every time a friend is married is bound to add up to a significant expense. The Japanese culture around gift-giving is very different from that in the west and gifts of a given value and class are obligatory for a number of social events, which doesn't help.
