One of the interpretations I have of this song is that it is about a couple that got engaged but as the wedding day approaches the girl is not sure anymore that it's what she wants (I imagine her telling the guy "I only said it to be kind" [that I'd like to marry you]). They are anxious about what the other people are saying -- "nevermind what people will say" -- but they feel this external pressure to make a decision and "seal their fate" as a couple.
