I told him that would be very difficult. So as of now, no money has exchanged hands. For obvious reasons, my fiance is not feeling Family Member.

See, that's the reason why sometimes it doesn't pay to be nice to your kin folk. The nerve of him asking for more than what you are able to give. He should understand that you are saving money for what should be the most important day of your life. If he can't understand your plight, then you should reconsider loaning the money to him.
BTW - are you the only person he asked or did he try to borrow money from other family members as well??
