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.

Promiswear 

Borderline between a promise and a swear. A promise strong enough to be a swear, but not enough to be a swear. Used by those who think swearing is bad. It can be a strong commitment or reassurance of something.

"I will buy you your medicine. I promiswear."

"Don't be sad, everything will be alright. I promiswear."

"I don't like anybody else. You are the only person for me in the world. I promiswear."
