Today, my soon-to-be mother-in-law decided that she is going to be in charge of planning my wedding. All decisions must be approved by her, and anything she doesn't like will be thrown out. She also wants to go on our honeymoon with us to make sure I don't "defile" her son. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my future mother-in-law informed me that since she is putting money into our wedding, that all the planning and arrangements are under her authority. FML
Today, my father-in-law decided he was going to just completely take over our engagement party, so now my fiancé just wants to go to Reno and get married there. FML
Today, my future mother-in-law finally admitted that I'm "not the girl for her son" and that she will do anything to break us up. FML
Today, I called my mom to make sure she could attend on the wedding day my fiancé and I had discussed. She started off with criticizing the venue we considered, then went on to criticize my fiancé, and then stated she would under no circumstances help out, but demanded to pick my wedding dress. FML
Today, marks the sixth day in a row that my mum has called me to discuss my upcoming wedding. She's obsessed and has intimidated the actual planner I hired into going along with her plans. She's slipped up twice already and accidentally referred to it as her own wedding. Just great. FML
Today, my fiancé suggested we bring his elderly mother with us on our honeymoon. FML
Today, a week after my fiancé and I got engaged, his mother is already complaining that she isn't involved enough in the wedding arrangements. We haven't even set a date yet. FML
Today, I was talking to my future mother-in-law about my upcoming wedding. She told me that I wasn't allowed to have the wedding at a church, nor wear a white dress, nor have roses for flowers, because that would mean I'd be "copying" her. FML
Today, I'm getting married. A few months ago, I allowed my mother in-law to take care of catering. She begged to be a part of the wedding, so I gave her the caterer's number and order info. It appears that I will not be eating at my own wedding because she decided to order food I'm allergic to. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML

Oh girl if you marry this man you also will marrying her. She will be in your 'business' constantly!! Your finance will never stand up to his mother, she will always be right. He will side with his mother before he will side with you. It will cause you tremendous pain and just imagine when you have children. I really feel for you OP. Been there done THAT!! Good Luck!!

How are you defiling him if you're getting married?

Yeah if she doesn't stop and keeps trying to throw stuff out of the wedding that she doesn't like, then uninvite her. And tell her point blank she is not coming to the honeymoon. I know conflict can be hard and you don't want to get off on a bad foot and with a big family feud, but your mother in law is being very unreasonable and needs to know this is not acceptable. I would suggest meeting with her with your fiance and assertively and calmly explaining that whislt you appreciate her help, you are both grown and you are going to be in charge of the wedding, not her. Moreover, you are both in love and will be going on the honeymoon alone. If you need to, get others to back you up and seek some counselling or a family advice line to get some support in how to handle this. Know your rights and explain that if she does not back off, then you will not be seeing her any longer.

HELL NO! That is the most insane and illogical reaction and you and your groom have to stop this now!

$60 at the local court house and you're married. Show her the marriage license and then tell her that you're going to ride her son like Seabiscuit all honeymoon long.
