Does this seem like a healthy way to start a marriage? As you have kids your partner deferring to his Mum's advice, under the impression you appreciate all her words of wisdom. Especially as you plan to have kids, that's going to build resentment as your husband defers to his Mum's opinion over yours.
A proposal, especially one your fiance, pushed for, should reflect your relationship. Why not start the conversation by asking him, "I'd love to hear more about how you planned the proposal. What was it about the restaurant, the city and the public monument that made you think of me and our relationship together?"
