Control

Today, my future mother-in-law informed me that since she is putting money into our wedding, that all the planning and arrangements are under her authority. FML

Have a smaller wedding and tell her that you can't accept her help if it's conditional. This isn't the way to start a marriage, with her asserting her authority over your decisions.

If you let her take control now, you relinquish it forever. Tell her you appreciate tue gesture but this is your big day and you two are planning it. If you want to be nice, you could offer her to handle one particular aspect you're not too picky on whether it's the reception, caterer, flowers, etc so she feels involved.

Don't take that bitches money! If you do, you will have it thrown into your face for the rest of your life, and to top it off, you will be having 'her' wedding, not yours. It's not worth that kind of shit to have a wedding. Go to the JP and don't tell her about it till it's done.

I have to agree with some of the other comments, refuse her money and just have a smaller wedding than you originally planned or elope. It may not be exactly what you want but let's be honest, if she plans it, than it is likely that it still won't be what you want. If she gets mad at your refusal just tell her that it is not her wedding and that you and your fiance' want to do things your own way. If she's so desperate to plan a wedding she can just have her own ceremony.

just get your future wife to talk to her mom about. no one messes with bridezillas authority or heads get ripped off. not saying all girls are like that its just their special moment.

What if the FML was submitted by the future bride and not the future groom?

Because it's custom that the brides parents usually pay for the majority of the wedding.

That may be the custom but that doesn't guarantee that is what is happening in this particular situation.

I figured that the OP was the bride because it is pretty much a major FML if her MIL is insisting on doing everything. Also the OP said the MIL is putting money towards the wedding not paying for the entire thing. I know lots of people who had both sides of the family chip in on their wedding.

WTF is with giant weddings? Save your money so you can afford the divorce later.

1. Not everyone gets divorced and 2. Even a small wedding can cost a fortune.

aaand... something like 50% of marriages end in divorce. be reasonable. mooned gonna notice that you spent $1000+ on centerpieces. save the money for marriage, not just the wedding.

If and when I get married, screw the funeral march. I want the corpse bride songs played out on a synth, bass guitar, and some heavy drumming.

That's just the beginning. You need to run away from that Mama's Boy, or get him to cut the apron strings, so you can rule him with your pussy whip.
