If you make that pledge without really and truly having every intention of making good on it, then why make it?

The difference is that everyone knows the words to the wedding ceremony long before they get engaged. No one knows what the ritual will be like, or what promises they will be expected to make, until they go through it. Maybe you make the promise because there are a hundred women in white robes kneeling around you holding candles and you don't want to make a big scene saying "No."
