My big brother finally comes home from Iraq at the end of the week. He will be here for only 2 weeks. I want to tell him in just the right way that I am engaged. But I am having trouble deciding how to tell him this monumental news. Can anyone shed some light on how to do it.

Have your Fiance come over to meet him and introduce him as the man you're going to be marrying.

First I would say give him a day or two to calm down. Then when you two are alone and he asks "Hey what up with you" Tell him that you have gotten engaged.
I really stress though that you dont do it right away. He will probably be pretty overwhelmed with coming home and seeing everyone and just being completely relieved of stress for a moment that if you throw in "hey I'm getting married" it might just be too much all at once.
Good luck!

Give him a day or two to relax and enjoy being home with his family. Then invite your fiance over to meet him. Introduce him and tell him when the wedding date is. Considering that you have set one. If not tell him the wedding is still in the planning stages and you will clue him in on the details later.

How do you know someone else in your family hasn't already told your brother? This news is too big to keep secret -- tell him already! E-mail, phone, letter -- whatever. But tell him ASAP. He will be happy for you, and details can wait until he is home. And be sure to thank him for protecting our country.

This is a joyous event, not something to be worried about or ashamed of. I am sure your brother will be very happy for you, unless you know you are making a bad choice.

Just be like, "I've got some huge news." Sit him down and tell him that it's the right thing for you and your fiancè to do. haha I shocked my family when I proposed on Christmas in front of everyone.=]

Why don't you and your fiancee take him put to dinner and tell him together? I am assuming there is no problems between your brother and your future husband.

why not just sit him down and you and your future fiance tell him. Im sure he would rather it just be straight forward the drug out.
