My bf (well technically fiance) asked me to marry him in May with the condition that we would wait to tell his family for a while. Now we just found out that his sister is pregnant, about 4 months along, and I was wondering when is it to soon for us to officially announce to his family that we are. I dont want to take away her time (though i dont think it's happy time) would it still be ok to announce it before her baby is born (She's due in November) I was thinking about August or September to announce it do you think it'd be ok

You have to be the most thoughtful person I have ran across. How kind of you to even think about someone else. People don't do that very often anymore.
A few years ago we had a couple of the kiddos that both decided to get married in the same month yet we didn't know it at the time. One told everyone first and so the other waited and waited and finally they told. However they had shared with each other prior and we had a double wedding.
Why is it not a happy time for the sister? Maybe you could talk with her and see what she thinks. I'm about ready to bet that she already is suspecting. People in love and about ready to marry give off some sort of emotion or smell that the entire country knows before you get around to telling.
What would you like to do? It is after all your wedding. When are you getting married?
You will be a fresh breath of air to any family. I think you have the right timing in your mind and you will make the right decision.
Keep taking care of everyone including yourself...that is the hard part. You will make a remarkable sister-in-law.

I'd announce now. I got pregnant (unintentionally) when my husband's sister was 5 months pregnant, and we told most people right away. It was fun because we got to go through pregnancy together (sort of!) and all the grandparents were thrilled becuase they were having not one grandchild, but two in the near future!

Depends on when you plan on actually getting married. If you plan on getting married two years from now , then you can wait a few months, and explain the situation later, they'll love you for the thoughtfulness. But, if it's soon. . . .tell them. . . Might as well add lightening to the thunder.. .
HA!

I don't really understand what you guys are waiting for. Most people would want to shout it from the mountains just to let everyone know right away. I think that you should talk to your fiance and see when he is planning the tell his parents. Then you should go from there.
