You should talk to an attorney to find out if that's still even a thing where you live ... in many places it is not.

Breach of promise is a largely outdated legal concept. It's generally considered that women are actually people nowadays, believe it or not, so they're not entirely helpless and dependent upon a man, and the "promise" in question has no actual monetary value.

Depending on the circumstances you might be able to sue to recover actual expenditures you incurred as a result of the wedding planning though. This is why you should talk to an attorney: breach of promise may be mostly dead, but breach of contract is alive and well, and a promise to marry is a verbal contract.

Can you sue a company for promising i have proof of this promise to deliver a product to you at a certain time and not delivering the product when promised?

You may sue for breach of this promise only if the failure to make the delivery on time is a material breach of the contract and if you suffered monetary damages as a result of the breach. The promise to deliver at a specific time is not automatically a material provision of the contract per se although it can be made so within the contract itself. Never the less, even if it is a material provision and if it has been breached, you may not sue if you have suffered no monetary damages as a result of the failure to make an on time delivery.
