Seriously...if this is your biggest problem in life, you're a very lucky woman.
NEWSFLASH- This is not middle school. Your little sister is not getting to wear makeup, go out on a date, or drive before you. She's getting married, on her own time.
Get over it. Order of birth no longer matters, you are adults.

I used a combination of voodoo, ultimatums, and fake pregnancies. Worked great!
They had their date set for this September, but between not living in their new apt yet, not saving enough, and generally having slight meltdowns over the planning, they pushed it off until next year. Which in and of itself caused fights and drama. And every moment that my sister struggles with something wedding related, I learn something about how I am NOT going to do it. So, if everything happens for a reason, the reason for this one might be that now when my turn comes along, I will have a better idea of what to do and what not to do and have less wedding drama myself. That is good enough for me!
ETA: This is not to say that it's good for your sister to go first so that she deals with the headaches so you don't have to. I just meant that you never know what will happen or what you are being envious of, and to look at the bright side of things, and to get over it.

I better add that was sarcastic.

I thought you just used love potion and spells. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" title="Cry" /> You lied to me! No wonder it isn't working!

OP you have only been with your BF for a year and a half, that is not saying that it means nothing, but slow down. Not everything is a competition. Marriage is something that is NOT a competition. Be happy for your sister. Do you know for a fact that she got pregnant to get married? I wouldn't say that to anyone even if it is true. That is really unkind and does not reflect well on your character. Your relationship will get there when it gets there, no rush. Patients and NEY are your best friends.

You're getting me confused with Merope Gaunt.
OP, here's the recipe [<-- clicky]. Cook this chicken for your BF, and he'll propose, guaranteed!
Life is good today.

I'm so glad I know better than to Knot and drink at the same time. Otherwise this would have been a Sobe moment.
I haz a planning bio
Bj's, anal, and engagement chicken.
Fake pregnancies work quicker though.

On a more serious note (as you can see, we are a sarcastic bunch but we've all been just a little BSC before so pardon us):
There isn't really a problem at all. Getting married is not a race. I thought I'd be the first to be married and having children out of my circle of friends (for the most part, my BF and I are the oldest and the most responsible) and yet 1 of our best couple friends is preggers and married, another is engaged, and another is preggers and engaged. It just happens that way. Was I a little salty about it at first? Yes. Then when I calmed down and came back to Earth I realized that it isn't a race. It doesn't matter who gets married first or who has babies first.
IMHO, the best way to "get that proposal" is to have a healthy relationship with your boyfriend. Everything else will follow suit. If you come off to your BF as a jealous person who wants to get married just because she wants it to happen before her little sister does, I can assure you that he will not be proposing any time soon.
Just calm down, stick around, and it will happen eventually if it's meant to.
BTW, you should post an intro thread and tell us more about yourself!

No Doubt!! I would've had a coke moment thanks to Lunar's posting.
LMFAO! I <3 you guys.
OP, Chill out dude, I'm with shoes - if that's the biggest problem you have, be VERY VERY grateful! :)
Want to know why?
You're not only going to drive yourself crazy, but you're going to miss out on a lot going on with your relationship with your BF AND your relationship with your sister. There is no rule that says she needs to wait for you to get engaged first. And as well, a year and half isn't that long. Relationships move at their own pace.
Relax. Enjoy your relationship and the fact that you seem to be in a serious relationship that's hopefully heading that way. And also, enjoy this time for your sister.

This.
You can also focus on yourself and do things that make you happy. Confidence and Joy are sexy.
I guess my feelings are supported in this article- <a href="http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/13231665/ns/today-weddings/t/want-man-propose-be-bitch/">http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/13231665/ns/today-weddings/t/want-man-propose-be-bitch/</a>
ETA: If it was all just about being a b!tch like the article says- shouldn't we all be engaged by now? ::foot stomp::
I have a cookie. I will eat it now.
ETA Again- this is my favorite quote from the article, "“Here, take my body. And I made you a cake. Please be nice. Please marry me. I'll even jack my butt up nice and high like they do in yoga. It's so comfortable being upside down. <em>Really.</em> I just love it!”
I was going to give a gross recipe for it, though. Beads posting the actual recipe took that away from me.
