It is often lamented by women that romance is dead. In Singapore especially, the most common proposal appears to be the "Let's get a flat together, dear." While this is definitely the most straight-forward and efficient way to propose, I doubt it is the way any girl dreams of being proposed to. And since you are intending to vow to love and cherish her forever, it is only appropriate to go the extra mile to show her that she means that much more to you.

After deciding to ask the woman of your dreams to be your bride, the next problem would be getting the perfect ring. Whether you believe it or not, buying the perfect wedding ring is an artform. Getting something too fancy would invariably burn a huge hole in your pocket while something too shabby would be likely to get you one of two results. The luckier of which is your bride-to-be would simply say no. The other is that she would say yes and spend the rest of your years together making you pay for that mistake, which is honestly not a pretty sight. But jokes aside, a traditional estimate is to spend about 2 months' salary for your wedding ring. An un-traditional estimate is well... as they say, the sky's the limit, depending on how deep your pockets are.
