My fiancé and I have been together for 11years, the last two years were Rocky so I moved out of our house. i now live with my sister, now we are in a good place again so we decided to go ahead and tie the knot so we can start having a family. My sister and best friend are not supportive. I don't care what my best friend says but it's really affecting me that my sister told me she doesn't want me to marry him and that she doesn't like him... I'm not asking HER to marry him but I feel like I would make things worse if I got married without the approval. Please help, idk what to do... (I'm 29 he's 38)

You say that your relationship with your sister is really important, but it seems like you don't grasp how betrayed and blindsided she must feel. You are still pretty dismissive of her feelings. She took you in when you had no where to go and supported you financially and emotionally. She did this because she loves you. You repay her by telling her than in 17 days, you will be marrying the person you say broke your heart. And more than betrayed/blindsided, she's probably also worried about you. Your actions indicate that you are not making a rational, mature decision. She has been led to believe (by you) that your fiance treated you badly. Why would she be supportive or excited? You've done nothing to prove to her that you are ready to get married. You should think long and hard about this whole thing.

Thank you everyone for your advice... You've all made some great points considering the little bit of info I provided. My fiancé reached out to her to try to reconcile with her, he knows how important she is to me and doesn't like to see me sad.
I'm also going to sit with her separately so I can listen to her because the last thing I want is to lose my sister
