Was your sister in law your bridemsmaid/s

[Foxytail]

? Is this the norm in the U.K.?

I had her and she had me.

And DH had my brother as a groomsman as well.

No, I hardly know them. We don’t live close and only see them about twice a year. Small wedding party and Dh didn’t have my brothers as groomsmen.

No. It never occurred to me. And I barely know her.

One of my SIL was (my favourite 🙂). I'm an only child so I chose her as my quasi sister, even though I had alot of friends to chose from. I was happy with my decision, but then I love her.

Nope and my SIL didn’t even have one of her own sisters as bridesmaid! Just had one of her sisters (has 2) and the other bridesmaids were her friends. Also had 2 nieces as flower girls but didn’t ask my daughter to be flower girl. We haven’t ever fallen out or anything. I wasn’t bothered by it, I just assumed it was down to money as to why my daughter wasn’t a flower girl - maybe she couldn’t afford the extra dress?
Its your wedding choose whoever you like it’s your day!

I was a bridesmaid for one of my SILs.

I was a BM for my DSIL, she signed as one of our witnesses as we only had DD as a BM. I love her as I love my own sisters and probably like her more

I had to have both SIls as bridesmaids otherwise the rest of the family wouldn’t come to the wedding 🙄They were both married and I wasn’t bridesmaid for them - wouldn’t have occurred to me to be asked. On the day they behaved horribly and DH told his dad to sort them out otherwise they could both FO home ! Fast forward 30 years youngest SIL had the wedding of her son recently and she was vile.
Do what makes you happy.

Not the norm, but not uncommon

I am not particularly close to my SiLs. In fact the only one I ever liked much divorced my brother!

Mine was and tbh most people I know have had their sil as bm.

I have a sister and a sister in law and none of us were bridesmaids at each other’s weddings. Whilst none of us actively dislike each other none of us are that close and see each other two or three times a year.

I have no idea if there were bridesmaids at either of the weddings that put me in the SIL status, or who they were, if they had some. So no.

No they weren't

No. We didn't have a wedding party, just our closest friends as witnesses. I wasn't for my SIL

Mine were, one I'm close to, the other not. My PIL asked for them to be bridesmaids and it was easy enough to agree to make everyone feel happy and welcome.
When my brother got married I wasn't a bridesmaid but mg daughters were flower girls.

Mine was

Mine was, and I was bridesmaid for her as well. We are close friends.

Would be a big fuck no to having my partners sister as a bridesmaid!

Mine was. I get on very well with her and I genuinely wanted her to be.

Yes she was mine. I wasn't hers. I have 2 sisters and she has none.... I was really hurt

No. I didn't have my sister either. Just 2 small bridesmaids and 1 pageboy.

No , I have one SIL and 2 sisters , none of them were bridesmaids
I didn’t particularly want bridesmaids , though I did have my niece ( age 10 at the time )

Yes, we are close.

Mine was. Cos exMIL told exdh that she had to be. Waste of a dress - her and exMIL both couldn't wait to tell me simpering and smirking that it had been "ruined" at the dry cleaners. I was baffled by that. She sat with a face on her apart from when she was picking her nose during the speeches. I should have given up on the marriage then.
