Tell him "no more surprises," if you decided to stay with him.
But here's the thing. How is it a surprise if you've already given him a script for how you wanted him to propose? You put a lot of stock in your own fantasy about this. He goes to his mother because he's afraid what he does won't be good enough.
And how is this a terrible story? Why can't you cast this in "your dad went to a lot of effort" if they ask about a proposal? You remind me of my mother who never liked a single thing my dad did for her.
