When you used a cane for the first time, did you?

I was diagnosed with MS close to 2 years ago. I've been doing ok, but find that when I wear myself out I tend to have a difficult time walking. I am getting married in January with a destination wedding in Las Vegas, and am already feeling anxiety about getting worn out. Because of this, my fiance has suggested that we purchase a cane to ist me with walking. We feel it will help conserve some of my energy. But I am nervous about using one for the first time around my family and friends. For some reason, I feel that it will make them uncomfortable to see me like that, and it will embarr me. Did you feel like this the first time you had to use a cane, walker, or scooter?
