If you and your fiance are paying for your own wedding then you and him make the decision on how much money and how big or small of a wedding you can afford. (Please set a budget and stick to it) I'm sure she not the one pay for it. And even if she is your the one getting married. So tell her thank you but we have it under control. If you elope then maybe a month or two later you could have a small reception and it might make her happy. Good Luck
hope your future mother-in-law doesn't but into your affairs, that will spell trouble.

Is she paying for it? If she's wanting to pitch in, then perhaps you could have a nice wedding/reception with everyone else there. Talk to her, or have your fiance do it. If you guys think it's important to have your friends and family be present for the marriage ceremony, then don't elope. It's all up to the two of you, though.

Nope do not elope unless thats what you want. If you want a simple church wedding and small reception that you can afford do that.
Do not let your inlaws butt into your marriage before it even starts. Besides where is your fiancee in this does he not have a mind of his own? Talk to him and see if he feels the same then tell your mother in law that you want simple because $$ is an issue.

It's your wedding! Plan it the way you both want it and invite your future mother-in-law to to participate in the planning. Obviously you want a wedding, so don't elope. There must be a reasonable way to settle this matter without hurt feelings.

You and your fiance can talk to her and explain that a big wedding is not in your budget. You can have a nice wedding that's not too expensive. She should understand.

Tell her if she wants to spring for, sure why not, otherwise lay out your budget to her and tell her with what you two have in plan is all you can afford. Please don't make the mistake of starting out with huge debt. It's hard enough as it is to just barely make it when getting married, don't start with a huge bill to pay.
Good luck and hope she pays ;)

if she is willing to pay for it, then go for it (if you want it). if not, then stand up for yourself. if you let the in-laws run your life now, they will never stop.
IT IS YOUR DAY!
if you want to, elope. just remember, it might make your own parents unhappy.
tell his mom to stop interfering in the plans. you aren't marrying her, but her son. it is up to you two. tell her that if she doesn't like your plans, then she doesn't have to show up. she'll turn around quick!
if the bride ain't happy, ain't no one happy!
congrats, and i hope you get it worked out. just keep thinking, "i'm going on a vacation afterward!"

Let your mother-in-law pay for it and ... go for it. It seems to be all for her anyway. Right?
