Can you explain how you were going to be humiliated?
A wedding these days is often very different from the traditional weddings of the past. And it's something that is often mostly planned by the woman more than the groom to be. Also, due to how expensive weddings are, they are often planned VERY different from what traditional weddings had been. Actually, many young couples choose to not even have a wedding but instead do something extremely low key which can be so different that parents can feel very left out because their thoughts tend to be of experiencing something more traditional.
