I was very lucky. I loved my first MIL. She and I were great friends and the only difficult part about leaving her son was that I was going to miss her. I was more sad about losing her than anything else. My second husband's mother had died a few weeks before I met him, so I didn't have to deal with her either. However, I would say you're in good shape as long as your fiance stays on your side. I would avoid conflict if confronted directly by saying something like "I appreciate your advice and we will consider it while making our decision". Then you're allowing her to express her opinion, avoiding a fight about it, but you're making it clear that the decision is between you and your husband in the end.
