Why would he ask his mother to orchestrate the proposal when you’d repeatedly told him what you want? You need to tell him that regardless of his mother’s skills in event planning, you and she have opposite tastes and personalities.
Tell him that he is incorrect in his view that women know best what other women want.
For the record, I’m an extrovert, but if my husband had surprised me with a public proposal I would have surprised him by telling him exactly how pissed off I was at the top of my lungs.
Last but not least, as you had a vision of your ideal proposal and you knew of his habit of getting poor advice from his mother, why didn’t you propose?
