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!”

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.

A promise made to be broken, usually through self-delusion, like a junkie saying he just needs one more hit before going straight.
Bob: Man, I got trashed last night. I'm never drinking like that again.
Ted: Ya right, that's a junkie's promise.
Ted: Ya right, that's a junkie's promise.

The most sacred, serious, vowel anyone can ever swear to. If broken, you must suffer some serious consequences. These promises come straight from the heart and are sworn to value. Remember the code!
Also know as a "Pinky-Swear"
