When it comes to proposals, most guys get a little nervous (which is more than normal). If it goes well, this is the story you will be telling your family for years to come, so getting it right will probably be important to you!

For example, did you know that the engagement ring typically goes on the fourth finger of your left hand all because of a vein? Or that the tradition of a “2 months salary” engagement ring is all because of a De Beers marketing campaign? Pretty fascinating!
While the 2 months rule may not apply as much now, there is a lot of planning and finance involved in a proposal alone.
