Good luck with the conversation this weekend! I hope that you can come to some sort of resolution. Everyone wants familial harmony. Your mom's attitude of "faking it" and holding in her concerns isn't a help to the picture. Still, The last thing you need is a mother in-law that you're not going to get along with. Better that she expressed her jitters now rather than after the wedding. It could be something little that tipped her over the brink. Maybe she thought she liked you, but then you cussed in front of her or even hugged her wrong. Or perchance she never liked you and just wanted to please her son.
Work with it, clarification and communication being key, but dang don't stalk away, upset and angry in a store like your fiance did. That can only make her embarrased and/or wondering over your maturity. This is a difficult topic, one that brings all sorts of difficult emotions -- all the more reason to be tactful and compassionate.
Sometimes relationships are strained with in-laws. You may have to accept this as a reality - until, at least, she realizes that you're not going anywhere.
