Relationship with kind of in-law - wrong/ok?

[bobby23]

What do people think about a relationship between siblings of a married couple....so sister of the bride and brother of the groom - I know technically ok as not related but is it still weird or would people be ok with this?

Fine but will be very awkward if they break up.

I know three incidences.. sisters married brothers. In small towns it happens

Here in Norfolk that is definitely a thing.

Absolutely fine.

Two of my uncles married two sisters. One relationship broke down but they had emigrated by then so there was no awkwardness for the other sister/brother.

My cousin married my now brother in law and that's how dh and I met. She has always been a bit of a cow so we don't speak really and she hates me even more now lol. They live abroad which helps massively

The TV presenter Sarah Beeney's husband has a sister. That sister is the partner of Sarah's brother.

Sisters marrying brothers. It's fine as long as they all stay together.

Awkward if anyone breaks up... "Your brother is being a pig to my sister. You need to have a word with him."

Can cause problems for both couples to be honest.

Me and a friend dated twins way back and that was awkward when my twin cheated and we broke up.

My sister and I are married to brothers. It's fine

I know two sisters who married two brothers. Both couples have been married about 15 years and everyone is very happy.

The cousins are all very close.

My 2 sisters are married to 2 brothers, it's fine and totally legal

I know two sisters who are married to a father and son...and the sisters have an aunt and (female) cousin who are married to a pair of brothers.

I think it's a bit weird. Each to their own and all that though

I dont see the issue.

Its not like they are related. Probably met as adults not like they were brought up as brother and sister.

They are only very vaguely related and by marriage. Not blood.

In my wife's family one aunt is married to my FIL's brother and my FIL's sister is married to the aunt's brother.

It's fine, just a bit confusing at first.

That's fine, and probably not that unusual, particularly if they become part of your social circle or live in the same area, connect on FB etc. You're not blood relatives so it's no problem.

It's absolutely fine. I don't see why it wouldn't be

My friend and her sister are married to brothers - all fine now but when my friend first got together with her now husband there was a fight and a falling out as his brother couldn't compute that his brother and sister in law getting together was ok!

It's totally fine. Happens all the time.

My gran and her sister married my grandpa and his brother. My mum and I are absolutely normal.

My grandmother and 2 of her sisters married 3 brothers. All 3 couples were married for over 60 years each. One for 75 years.
