My brother in law has threatened to beat me up twice after many years of verbal abuse.This time he went on a 30-40 minute tirade and had me up against a glass door. My sister defended him and told me to leave. I was not harmed but my blood pressure put me in the hospital. There have been various other actions against me which have caused me mental and financial harm.
Their daughter, my niece, knows I am not speaking to them but I have not told her why. Now she is getting married and I want to attend her wedding. I'm afraid it will be a hornet's nest since various family friends have been turned against me as I have remained silent about what happened and they are apparently denigrating me. How do I handle this?

Out of consideration of your niece, put aside what you want and do not go. The last thing she needs is for her wedding to become a big drama-fest.
If you receive an invitation, send your regrets and include a gift if you feel generous.
Unless you've done something to caused the animosity. I can't see why they would attack you at a wedding then they would be considered the troublemaker.
Are you sure all of them are the problem and not you? In my experience, when one person has a problem with many others, it is usually the one everybody can't stand that is the problem, not the myriad others.
I can't say that is the case here, but that is typically the case.
In any event, don't go to the wedding. Nothing good can come of it. Have somebody record it and watch it on tape. Send them a nice card and wedding gift.

The answer is that we only have Opie's side of this story.

Yup.
Regardless ..OP, do not go to this wedding. It is your niece's day and she deserves a drama free one.
