The "beauty of Islam" really exists - for MEN! As for enlightenment, we in the West have had this for centuries now while Islam has never had it. Your husband-to-be should accept you as you are with your values and beliefs and he should tell his friends to accept you that way, too.

This is just the beginning of a LOT of pressure and you won't be happy with this, I can assure you. If you don't stand up for yourself now, it will get harder and harder for you until you refuse to accept it all. It's a long way back to normality then, believe me!
