tell him exactly what you've revealed to me. Let him know ahead of time what he should most likely expect so that it's no SHOCK to him ONLY whatever happens at the dinner. if's it's LOVE you guys share, than you have nothing to worry about. Nothing can easily break that bond.
Let him know everything and make him confortable before meeting them.
Now with your brother, he'll only affect your relationship if you let him. FIGHT FOR EACH OTHER.

I think your boyfriend will just have to get used to your grandparents but you could prepare him by telling him to expect the worst. Maybe by doing that, he won't be so shocked when they aren't as bad as he thought they were going to be. As far as your brother, I wonder why he hates him so much? Does your brother love you? It would be very immature of him to cause any trouble, especially in public. I don't think there's any way to control your family as they will all form their own opinions. I would let whatever happens, happen. The only way to control the situation is to not show up, which is probably not the best solution. Sometimes things work themselves out. Your boyfriend is going to have to get used to your family eventually, might as well see if he's up to the task! I wish you well.

 Well hopefully sex and being dirty minded will not come up in dinner conversations (lol) or at least lets hope not. Do you know why your bro does not like your BF? Have you ever asked for specific reasons. How old is your bro, anyway? My advice to you is find out why your bro does not like your BF, then address the reasons and ask your bro as a BIRTHDAY favor to you to please try and get along with your beloved BF if only for that night.. and by all means steer clear of any convo's that start talking about sex and being dirty minded! Best of Luck....
