    The first thing you need to do is talk to your boyfriend. You’re marrying him and not his mom. Does he want a big wedding? It’s his marriage too so even if you don’t want a wedding, you may still have to do some compromising. If he doesn’t want a wedding but won’t stand up to his mom, that’s a totally different issue you should address. Couples counseling can help with setting boundaries with people outside the relationship.

    Couldn't have said it better myself. You are marrying him, not her.

    Yep. All this. You and your fiance need to be on the same page about a wedding. If it's just a matter of standing up to his mom and he won't, it's setting up the life you will have for other life decisions/celebrations with his mom.

    "The big problem is his.mother"

    Honestly, the big problem seems to be your fiancé - if he is unable to stand up to his mother and advocate for what the two of you want as adults, that sets a concerning tone for how your marriage will function. Perhaps there are cultural norms in play that make that more difficult, but setting boundaries now as a united couple would be a healthy first step and worth discussing more together.

    All of this. You have a FI problem, not a FMIL problem. Boundaries are important.
