The fact that they're in a distressing situation for one: The Doctor takes them out to celebrate their anniversary and it's yet another anniversary date that gets spoiled and ends up with them hiding under the bed to avoid being captured hence a lot of mixed emotions.

There is no consensus about the validity of the so-called "vows" anyway: even if Rory is being serious - and there's no way to prove that he is because his line can just as easily be taken as him exaggerating/ragging on Amy for getting them chased under the bed - Amy doesn't agree that she made any vows when she writes it off as just absently saying "yes" because she heard someone talking. Why should Rory automatically be right and Amy wrong?
