Try acting like a lady....you might be lucky enough to find a Marine willing to marry you too.
Semper Fi.

Extremely happy for her. Be supportive, because it's a tough life. If they do the whole sword ceremony at the wedding, they'll even tell her, she's not marrying a Marine, she's marrying the Marine Corps. (then they'll swat her on the butt with the sword) It's a very different lifestyle, and if she's not used to it, it will take some adjustment. Listen to her, and understand that she has some very real fears about her family and husband, don't ever minimize those fears. And then, accept it when she prefers to talk to other "Marine wives" about certain issues instead of you, because that's a pretty unique group of women, with very unique problems.

Is this a trick question? You should act the same way if she came home and said she was marrying a banker or doctor or whatever. No matter what, aren't you happy for her? You should act like a sister. =)
As a side note, generally military is a respectable position so this is not a bad thing...

Act remembering she is your sister, and he is becoming your brother. With love, acceptance, etc. Actually I don't know why you would act differently about her marrying a marine than if she married a computer analyst, or a garbage man, or a teacher, or a senator, or .... She's doing the choosing, you do the accepting.

Supportive. That is the best advice. Marrying a man in the miltary is difficult enough as it is, and it is a whole lot easier when you have family and friends behind you. Chances are, he is going to be deployed, and chances are, your sister is going to need you more than she ever has in your entire lives. It is more than just difficult. Involve yourself in her life in more ways than just lending an ear...let her know that you will be more than happy to learn all there is to know along with her, but also allow her to make the friends that she will need to make in order to have a good support system from her "military family"....just remember in the end, this is your sister, and this is the guy that loves her from here on out :) There has to be something specail about him or she wouldn't be marrying him...:) Tell her welcome, and good luck :)

If your asking should you salute or stand at attention, don't. Relax, this is her day and he is just a guy in every other way. He is a soldier by job and future brother(in-Law) to you. Enjoy yourself, be someone she would be proud to call sister and in the future, the two of you can go over the details of her wedding, because she will not remember all of them.

If he's a marine, you might want to think about marrying him. I bet he is hot with a nice body!

Accept it. Show Support and Love her no matter what.. even if you disagree, love her for her decision. And if you really hate the situation, gently tell her and tell her when you have some private sister time but never make a scene, concede gracefully..

Be yourself.
Just because he is a Marine doesn't change anything. Your future brother in law. Welcome him to the family.
Unless there is "more to the story". If that is the case, you need to state it in depth because we can't assume if you are nervous, fearful, happy, sad or what the situation consist of.
