Today, my boss got a promotion and I got laid off. FML
Today, it's my first day as the boss, after waiting months for this promotion. Today is also the day my replacement, who I trained for three months, quit. Now I've got two jobs for the price of one. FML
Today, my supervisor at work is now my father-in-law. My girlfriend told me that. FML
Today, my boss was fired by the board. A few days ago, he dropped several strong hints that he was going to promote me soon. FML
Today, I got promoted. By promoted, I mean, given a much harder job with no training and no extra pay because someone went on maternity leave. They've already hired someone for my old position. FML
Today, it was my first day as a promoted manager. I got fired for being late. FML

Ask if someone else can let him go. Say it's a conflict of interest

Whilst you shouldn't have to do it. It's not as if you wanted to fire him, "Don't shoot the messenger" as they say.

Because he will be apart of your family soon, are you not able to request your boss to have someone else fire your in law instead? Either way it is going to suck but at least if you're not the one to can him it will be a bit easier to console him during that difficult time if need be.

Poor OP, that's why I never date anyone in the from the same company or work where my families work.

Have a solution for you: fire him and break the engagement. Do not forget to invite me to a freedom party ;)

Conflict of interest? Could you refuse on that ground and have somebody else take over this particular "case"? You can always offer to help out with their workload instead
