I think something like expensive weddings and wedding rings, are totally a product of brainwashing of girls, to set their expectations from an early age. It's totally different from when someone buys an expensive car, or house, or even when a man buys guns, boats or other expensive 'man toys'. Girls have it pounded into their heads from childhood that their wedding day is going to be the greatest day of their lives, and the ring is symbolic of that. So they are brainwashed about the whole ordeal. There is no other word in the English language that better describes this phenomenon than brainwashing. It's no coincidence Weddings happen in Churches either. Church is the "House of Brainwashing", and the building and location around which all brainwashing is centered.
