“NTA. MIL and her family were out of line. Stick up for yourself!”

Think twice before marrying into that unsupportive family.

Run! Get out before the wedding turns into a nightmare!

NTA. Don’t marry her, OP. It won’t get any better.

NTA if your fiancée isn’t willing to stand up for you when YOU are financing this wedding…you have to leave. They are absolutely acting like gold diggers and I would consider whether you want to tie yourself to a family that sees your income as theirs. If you get married (which eh) you absolutely need an ironclad prenup.
