1. The ring has to cost three months' salary:

   There's no hard and fast rule about how much you should spend on an engagement ring. It's important to choose a ring that fits your budget and represents your love and commitment.

2. The man has to propose:

   It's 2023 - anyone can propose to anyone! Don't feel like you have to follow traditional gender roles when it comes to proposals.

3. The proposal has to be a surprise:

   While surprise proposals can be romantic, it's important to communicate with your partner about what they want. If your partner would prefer to be involved in the planning process, there's nothing wrong with that.

4. The proposal has to be elaborate:

   You don't have to go over the top with an elaborate proposal. Sometimes the simplest gestures can be the most meaningful.

5. The proposal has to be public:

   Just because a proposal is private doesn't make it any less special. It's important to choose a setting that feels comfortable and meaningful to both of you.

Remember, the most important thing is that the proposal reflects your love and commitment to each other.
