[edit] Inacurate definition?

According to the OED the current definition of betrothal is practicly synonomous with engagement. However, this definition seems to imply that that it is something more of a formalized ritual of documentaion and determined by a third party. This can be very problematic in the sense that it takes a great deal of power out of the idea of engagement. —The preceding Wikipedia comment was added by Tom. 4:33, 26 February 2007 (UTC).
