[quote=Anonymous]The response would be, "I'm so happy for you, dear sister. Congratulations on your marriage."   And then go off and live your own life.

I have an older brother who is 7 years old than me.  Sometimes he had expectations of me that felt like demands and pressure.  I couldn't always appreciate him because I was younger!  I hadn't yet had enough life skills or experience to have perspective, and he failed to appreciate how his expectations were sometimes just too much for me, although they may have been appropriate of someone his own age.

Your sister is developing into an adult at her own pace.  She's younger than you.  Lighten up and stop telling her what she should do or be like.  Live your own life and make the best of it.  One day, your sister will likely be more interested in her family of origin again, but right now, she's trying to be her own person.  Let her be.  You don't have to return her anger.  Just drop the expecations for now.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.
