NWR vent: My judgemental family having issues "cutting the cord"

FI and I just bought a house, he's already moved in.  I was planning on moving in after we got married on June 22, but this has all been so stressful, and living in 2 houses isn't fun either, so I have decided to move in at the end of this month.  My family has started a shiit storm over this whole thing. 

First it was a text from my younger sister...."ummmmmm yeah, you are NOT moving out until the wedding..I only have 2 more months with my sister!", plus my parents are giving me a hard time about it, and my older sister who is already married.  We aren't going on a honeymoon right away because of the house, but I took the week off after the wedding and the last thing I want to do that entire week is move myself in and get things organized. 

They act like we've never lived together before, and we did for 2 years!  Then I moved back home to be able to save for the house.  My older sister is really religious, so she feels it is "wrong" for me to live with FI before the wedding....um, sorry, that ship has already sailed.  I'm 27 years old, and I just want to do what makes me happy.  I feel as though they are only thinking about themselves.  My parents act like they're never going to see me again, but our new house is 5 minutes away.  They weren't like this when my older sister got married, but that was almost 10 years ago and I'm a lot closer with my parents now than I used to be.

I just don't see why they think they have a say in this, and why they can't think about my happiness and be happy for me.  My parents lived together before they were married, although they kept it a secret from us until my older sister somehow found out when I was still in highschool.  I'm just so frustrated, and when I get upset about it they get all defensive and "don't understand" why I'm getting upset.  I'm just sick of them thinking I'm going to go along with whatever they say.
