When two people in a relationship promise each other that one day in the future, one of them will formally propose and the other will accept.

Usually made when a couple are young and the man cant afford to buy a nice expensive shiny ring for his deserving girlfriend
Guy: "Baby I promise that ill get you that ring and im going to ask for your hand in marriage!"

Girl: *Gasp* "And we'll live happily ever after!"

Guy: "This is a serious pre engagement! You better not be humoring me!"

the step in a relationship before the engagement. more than "just boyfriend and girlfriend" but not quite engaged yet. but with definte plans on engagement and marriage in the future.

a promise, a commitment.
"will you marry me? not today and not tomorrow, but one day?"

"yes. of course <3"

"so this means, we are engaged now?"
