My fiance is embarrassed to show his face around my family after they walked in on us, what to do? (NSFW)

Okay, well, I’m 22, and my fiance Mikey, is 26, and we just got engaged a couple of weeks ago. Mikey is the most important thing in my life, and I love him so much. He’s the sweetest, kindest, most gentle and understanding person I’ve ever met, so of course, I’m extremely excited to marry him. :) Well, normally I would have been so excited to tell my whole family. They’ve always loved Mikey; I’ve taken him to every family event (holidays, birthdays, picnics, etc.) since we started dating when we were 19, and I don’t have to worry about him fitting in. He’s a little shy, but he gets along so well with everyone. Well, our family always goes on vacation together for a week in August, and this year, I decided to ask Mikey to come. Our family always stays at the same resort, and we get a whole row of rooms, so that we’re all next door to each other. Normally, I stay in a room with my mom and my stepdad, but this year, Mikey and I got a room to ourselves, as well.

Well, one day during our vacation this Summer, it was around 9:30 in the morning, and Mikey and I had gotten up early and eaten breakfast already. For some reason, we were both really… in the mood… and had sex. In the heat of the moment, we didn’t check to see if our door was locked… My family (two of my aunts, three of my cousins, and my uncle) walked in on us in the middle of things. It was the most embarrassing moment of my life, and Mikey was mortified. My family is VERY religious, and believes strongly in the “no sex before marriage” idea. I’m not careless about it, Mikey was my first, and he’ll be my only. I just believe that you should be really in love with someone before you think of having sex with them, but my family is very different. Since that happened, Mikey hasn’t been to the last two family events, because he’s so embarrassed, and he thinks they’re going to hate him for it. I have to admit, I’m still really embarrassed, too, so I can’t even imagine how he’s feeling. So we were planning on telling my family on Christmas that we’re engaged, but Mikey is worried about seeing everyone, and about how they’re going to take the news.

No one has spoken about what happened on vacation, but last time I said something about Mikey back in October at my cousin’s birthday, it was pretty tense and awkward. So my question is, what should I do about this? I don’t want my family to think any less of either of us because of what happened; I want them to be happy for Mikey and I. I’m really worried, and I know Mikey is embarrassed just to show his face after what happened. What can I do to help him feel less nervous about this? Any advice?
