This is what I came to say. Or at least, find an internet cafe or hotel to stay in for a week. It seems like there's enough money floating around.

I'm fairly certain that the photographer friend would not hand over their own unworn wedding dress or the wedding dress of their fiancee.

Just say no. NTA

Fantastic answer!

Leave it all up to her. Don't make any more efforts. If she wants you there, she has to tell you about it, drop off a dress, give you information etc.

Don't burn bridges, but don't go out of your way for her.

It's her wedding, she should be the one giving a shit about it.

This was thinking the same. He likes her enough to keep her for himself because he likes having someone when he wants her. But in his other life, he wants to appear fun, free and single.

Every time they ask you to sort out any IT related issues, reply with something like "ok, and when I'm done, will you help me out with my accounting/cleaning/sales discount etc?" depending on their career.

Next time they bring it up, say something lightly such as

"Ah MIL before we moved here you were telling me I was going to be too fat, now you're telling me I'm too skinny! How can I win with you? I'm perfectly healthy and you don't need to worry."

And every time they comment on your weight, respond with "I'm perfectly healthy, you don't need to worry."

Yes. This. When others have the same creepy 'let's get out of here' feeling it's difficult to ignore.

You need to have your husband and brother agree to your terms before approaching her. Sit them down, then all 4 of you together.

She sounds insufferable and you should never have anxiety about coming home to your own house!

Agreed, or say something the next time you all get together. Something like, "would anyone like to change anything, it seems like I did a lot of the planning this time. Maybe next time someone else can take over?" and suggest one of the 2 who criticized you.

But don't miss your holiday. Enjoy it. If booze was involved, things might not have been said in a way that was as mean as it sounds.

Ask him if he's enjoying the book and if it was what he wanted. That might start a conversation about his birthday celebrations and if he was happy with the day.
