Wear it as a badge of honor. If the mother-in-law to be hates you, it is a natural thing. A mother thinks no one is good enough for their child. My husband's mom disliked me and my mom actually had a terrible attitude toward my husband to be. Remember, you are marrying their offspring and not them!

Get married as soon as possible to wind her up.

I would woo her until she liked me more than her daughter. Seriously, any in-law with half a brain knows that when your child gets married it's up to you (the father or mother-in-law) to always take the side of your child's spouse. Always. Without exception. And let your child know know that this how it's going to be. Except in the most serious cases, (say wife beating, child abuse) parents have very little right to interfere with the marriages of their children. Hands-off. I wouldn't even get involved in cases of adultery. Your children were raised by you, they are now on their own. Let them live their own lives.

If you are the woman, ask her advice whenever there is an opportunity. Get her to talk about her son. She loves her son. Ask her what he likes to eat, ask for her recipe, then continually tell her you can't fix it as good as she can. Side with her. If you are the man, like Stronghart said, you must woo her. Never, ever, raise your voice to her or say anything unkind to her, even at those times where you think you might choke someone. She made the woman you love who she is, there is good in there somewhere. Once the smoke settles, she will get used to you. Remember her birthday and make sure your present gets to her before your wife's.
