Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my father told all of us that he eloped with his girlfriend of two months. I'm engaged to the woman's daughter, and have been engaged since before they met, but now my family is making fun of me for marrying my "sister". FML
Today, my two closest friends declared that they hated each other. They're my bridesmaids. The wedding is in three weeks. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend talking to his mom about me. It sounded like they were planning something for me, like a marriage. They were planning how to break up with me. 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, 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 overheard my mother telling my sister that she expects my marriage to fall apart any day now. Apparently, I have no concept of what "marriage" really means. My husband and I just celebrated our 7th anniversary, while my mother is planning her 5th wedding. FML
Today, my wedding is scheduled for next week. Today is also the day my whole family had an epic falling out, resulting in my mother disowning my brother. Apart from having them taking turns sobbing at me through the phone, they're also not coming to the wedding. I paid the hotel rooms in advance. FML
Today, I found out my little sister is marrying my ex, and that my mother set them up. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML
Today, my ex-husband and the woman he left me for, also known as my sister, are getting married. On my birthday. My mom is gleefully helping plan the wedding. She seriously sees nothing wrong, and tells me to “stop being a Bitter Betty and be happy for your sister.” FML

You don't live to make them happy..live your own life.

I feel bad for you. Talk to them and maybe you can make them think positively.

Uh, same thing happened to me. My mom ended up breaking down and tried to stop the wedding. She failed, but that didn't stop her from showing up drunk. We moved out of state a month after we married. She seems to have no idea why...

That does really suck, but that's better than them outright hating and shit taking him. They are doing it because they love you so much and want you to be happy even if they don't like him. If they were outwardly mean to him things would be a lot worse, and he would feel completely unwelcomed. They didn't want to hurt you with the truth, and chances are they thought you'd be with him no matter what they say, so its better to keep the peace. If he makes you happy and you love him, then that's all that really matters in the end.

I'll take my family not liking my fiancé and not telling me, over them liking my fiancé more than they like me, and taking his side when they find out he cheated.

Have the wedding anyway without them. I'm sure if they didn't like him because he was a scumbag they'd let you know. Right?

So you'd honestly have preferred they complained about him your whole relationship? How much more stressful would that have been? It may have caused you to not want to be with them. I'd say this is the lesser of two evils.

As long as YOU love him that's all that matters. Screw what your family thinks.
