Dear Mallory,
There is no definitive answer to this question because it varies with the situation.
Clearly you do not want to send the message of indifferentism to your sister. You want to be clear to her that you do not approve.
As to your being Maid of Honor at this wedding, you should do what is best for your sister's faith.
- If your going sends a message that her conversion is fine with you, then you should not go.
- However, if your not going is going to drive her farther away from the Church then maybe you should go.
Perhaps a compromise could be made where you go to the reception but refuse to stand up for her in Church.
The best choice will only come through prayer and discernment. If you let the Holy Spirit tell you what to do, you won't go wrong.
- What is best for the salvation of her soul?
— do that.
Fr. Jonathan
