Promise Ring

A ring a boy gives a girl, usually in college, to signify he intends on marrying her, but that they’ll wait until they’re older. Usually a very simple ring (for broke college students), with a little heart in some way. Can be very romantic.

Boy: “I love you, I got you this promise ring to show we’re gonna get married as soon as we graduate and I have the money to get you a real one”
Gilr: “Omg, I love you! Thank you!”

on a promise

In British English, "on a promise" simply means that you have arranged to or at least expect to have sex with someone in the near future - usually your regular partner.

Sorry, Dave. No drinks for me tonight. The wife found the handcuffs we used on our weddin' night, so it looks like I'm on a promise, know what I mean?

promise party

A party which is thrown if someone doesn’t believe in marriage or being the center of attention at a wedding, but still wants to celebrate being committed to each other for a very long time.

He proposed to her with a promise ring so instead of a traditional wedding, they’re going to all have a promise party.
