In my experience, some maternals get squinchy when their babies get serious with someone. It's her problem though, so don't ever let it get you down. From the sound of it, you've got someone who lives their own life though, so congrats and well wishes.

I once had a (35 year-old, grown-ass) dude break up with me because his mom told him to. I laughed and said, "Good luck with your future, dude." and then told jokes about it over shots with my friends that night.
My dude, after 20 yrs of marriage still listens to his moma. Seriously sometimes I feel like saying 'grow up man. make your own decisions'
I guess it's the mom control or its the female protective thing mom's have over their sons. I hope I don't do it :(

Just for clarity, rings for fingers, correct?
IDK what her big deal with getting married is anyway... She was married to his dad for 35+ years and just decided to leave him one day, and thats the story of why my boyfriend doesn't ever want to get married.
Well, I can tell you from experience that one of the big deals about marriage is that if it ends up in divorce, your ex will immediately start telling everyone within a hundred mile radius that your nickname was:

Yep, he's in his late 30s and she still tries to run his life. I guess thats what happens when you're the baby of the family. We've been together for 3.5 years and he's made it clear to her that her input is not needed. She has even tried turning his son against us (more specifically me) but she literally told a 7/8 year old that his dad was choosing me over their family. WHAT?! She moved over 1000 miles away and it has been glorious for us all.
