Yeah but men basically go insane when trying to impress women. The entire concept of a wedding is insane. That much time, effort and money for something that essentially amounts to a few photographs, most of which are fake and posed. A man wouldn't buy this for himself.

I don't think we do it "to impress", but rather to "not disappoint".

That's even worse. I was giving them more credit but maybe you're right. The wedding industry thrives by sowing the idea of a perfect and unique wedding into the minds of little girls and later some man will come along and fulfil that dream.

I wouldn't buy dolls, and after, their clothing either. Yet my daugthers love them and I love my daugthers. I wouldn't buy expensive jewelry, yet my wife loves it everyday still.

There is so much you wouldn't do for yourself but do for the ones you love. That doesn't make it insane or just to not disappoint. You do it because it makes you happy to see them happy. If you would do the same if you were alone is not the thing that matters here.
