Tell her divorce is more expensive than a wedding is. Tell your parents not to pay for anything if they dont agree with the wedding and if they think she should get to know the guy first. I think everyone should sit down and have a family meeting, and tell your sister if they truely love each other then whats the problem with waiting? Why do they need to get married right away? Hope this helps and good luck!

Okay, I am not one on having a time limit and being a hopeless romantic, I do believe in love at first site. However, five days is quick. The operative word is engaged. If it is a REALLY long engagement, then I would say it is not a bad thing. However, if they are getting married real soon then that could be bad. I think that you are right about being worried.

tell her to slow her roll! marriage is not something to jump into or take lightly. it's only been 5 days, there is no way you know someone good enough in 5 days to know the two of you can spend the rest of your lives together. what if she does go thru with it and a couple months down the road realizes she totally can't stand this dude, then instead of just being able to break things off and go her own way she'll have a whole legal mess to wade thru instead.

How old is your sister??? If she is in college, enable her stay her life. If she is youthful than that, and from her reaction to you it variety of feels she would be (and you even youthful), assembly human beings online is on no account a solid theory, nor would desire to it additionally be an option (except you're in Bumbleff Montana contained in direction of no the place, i'm valuable an staggering variety of fellows go on your faculties). women are particularly naive and stupid at that age (while it is composed of "love" and that mess). you are able to tell them something and that they might have self assurance it, hence the threat. online discussions are complicated through fact the shortcoming of truly communication (issues like subtley, wavering, sarcasm in an somewhat voice), truthfulness and genuineness. If older females won't be ready to work out contained in direction of the curtain of bullshit, go away them to their destiny. as nicely, you shouldn't do something. call your sister a fat skank and tell your mothers and dads your concerns. in the experience that your mothers and dads do no longer something, nicely, its on them while she calls from a pay telephone 4 hundred miles away sobbing at 3 AM.

It's way to soon for them to actually know one another well enough to even be thinking about marriage!! I mean your sister is an adult, although you are in the right because you are looking out for you family. Also your parents have the right to know this guy. 5 days is not enough to get to know someone well enough. Tell your sister that it might be better for herself to stop and think" Does this guy want me for me? Do I know enough about him to accept him as my husband? Will he really honor me?" If she has any questions about these question's then she's not ready for marriage.

Tell her that she is acting very childish and that REAL adults don't do stuff like that. Maybe do a web search and find some horrible stories of people who did the same thing and it ended very badly.

at 19.....this young woman is obviously very much, "in love with love".......no amount of talking to her, or instructing her is going to work....after all....we "school of hard knocks" people, cannot be told how to feel or act.....that is a "learned" trait for alot of us. Don't ask any questions....do not condem her....just sigh......pray.....and in time, more than likely, she will tire of this casanova......he is telling her all the things she wants to hear.......and maybe....he feels that he has found a rare and beautiful jewel.....to be cherised forever....it happens.......

Let her get married. So what. About half of the population has at least one divorce behind them. It's her mistake to make.
