You plan to never go back to your hometown? What about visiting your parents, do they no longer live there? If not, no problem. Your hometown is no longer relevant to your life. She probably won't ask, as long as you visit your parents together.
Well, she's going to wonder about that. Have you discussed this with her? People can be really understanding, you know. She's engaged to you, it means she cares, and she won't be judgmental.

I told her that they didn't like my lifestyle choices.
What if a woman didn't tell her husband about an abortion? What would you say then?
Wow. An abortion - you know, a legal medical decision - is on par with a felony crime that resulted in exile from your hometown and apparently estrangement from your own family.
What a lucky woman your fiance must be
BTW, too many people know about this for it to stay hidden. Sooner or later someone from your past is going to pop up in your life looking to reconnect, and then things could get messy. Are you really that naive?
I would dump someone on his azz if he kept a secret like this and we got married.
Just FYI: Many people don't care about the drugs, but care a lot about the lying by ommission.
Starting any marriage off withholding anything pertinent is not good. Transparency is everything. It's good for you to get it off your conscience and her to know.
As long as you weren't arrested, I don't see it as a big secret that must be told or must be withheld. It's not huge either way. But if I were you, I'd tell. I don't have any secrets from my wife. It's just easier that way -- nothing to hide. She would probably see more humor to it that you do. My wife was a west coast hippie in the 70s. She's got some stories to tell. Actually, many have become popular stories that are told over and over at family gatherings. Pop a beer top, sit back and everybody tell a favorite story about Crazy Aunt Kate.
My parents were salt of the earth, church-going, hard working farmers. I enjoyed many of their tales, but my favorites were how my dad financed his first car with money he made brewing and selling beer at dances during prohibition days. And how my mother had to stall the revenuers to give her employer time to hide the whiskey still.
