Best Friends-in-Law | comment |
In fiction (not to mention Real Life), it's not uncommon for friends to be as close as family. (After all, Friends Are Chosen, Family Aren't.) For the most part, such relationships go unformalised. You might wish you could make a friend an official relative, but your options are limited. Adoption is difficult, especially when both people involved are adults. And marrying your friend probably isn't an option if you just don't feel that way about each other. But there is another option that some characters take: marry one of your friend's relatives! Or fix it so that one of your relatives marries one of theirs. Then you'll become in-laws, which is almost as good as being blood relatives and gives you an excuse to spend vacations and holidays together. Some common variations: Marry your friend's sibling, so that your friend becomes your sibling-in-law. Marry your friend's child, so that your friend becomes your parent-in-law. Have a child who marries your friend's child, so that you and your friend become... um... well, in-laws of some sort, anyway. Often in these situations, the romantic relationship comes off as secondary to the platonic one, with the spouse potentially being a Satellite Love Interest. Sometimes the platonic relationship may even be the primary motivator for the marriage, though it's hoped that most characters genuinely Marry for Love. May overlap with Settle for Sibling or Double In-Law Marriage. Not to be confused with making friends with your in-laws. Especially in modern times, when marriage rates are on the decline, a long-term non-married relationship can qualify for this trope, provided it brings two friends closer together and doesn't create tension between them. |

Story of Seasons (2014) has a few opportunities for the player to become friends-in-law with various characters: The male player character can become friends-in-law with Veronica, who more or less runs Oak Tree Town, by marrying her daughter Angela. In fact, in order for the romance with Angela to progress to the marital level, the player character must have a good friendship level with Veronica. Similarly, if the male player character wants to marry Lillie, it's necessary to have a very good relationship with her adorable little sister Melanie. A good friendship with Lillie and Melanie's father Morris isn't required, but it's almost impossible to avoid whether you're romancing his daughter or not, so marrying Lillie invokes this trope with him as well. A good friendship with Melanie is also required for a female character who wants to romance either Nadi or Kamil, who both view the child as something of an adopted little sister. If the player character marries either Iris or Mistel, they can become friends-in-law with the other sibling. |

Emma: Emma and Mr Knightley start this way, because her sister is married to his brother, and for all their little quibbles with each other they are clearly devoted friends. They take this trope further, invoking Double In-Law Marriage by getting married themselves at the end of the book. Emma grows very close to Frank Churchill, whose father is married to her former governess and mother substitute, making them unofficial stepsiblings as well as good friends. Frank is also extremely close with his stepmother, so the two of them fit the trope as well. |

Dragon Age has a couple: It hasn't really come up in the games themselves, but the first tie-in comics for the series give this relationship to Varric Tethras and Maevaris Tilani. Mae was betrothed to Varric's cousin Thorold, who was killed before the marriage could take place; but by the intricacies of dwarven inheritance law, she is nevertheless considered his widow, and it's clear that Varric regards her as family and they are good friends. In the backstory of the royal family of Ferelden, Calenhad Theirin - the first king of a united Ferelden - was married to Mairyn, the daughter of Arl Myrddin, one of his most loyal supporters and closest friends. They were this trope for the first several months of the marriage; unfortunately, it did not end happily. The pregnant Mairyn discovered Calenhad's infidelity with his general, Lady Shayna (a love potion is said to have been involved) and fled to her father, who later killed Lady Shayna. Calenhad reluctantly challenged Myrddin to a duel to avenge her, and Myrddin was killed. |

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this was almost the case with Link and Prince Sidon, as Sidon's sister Mipha was in love with Link. But Mipha was killed before she could present the Zora Armor to Link to make any marriage promise official. Played with even further in that Sidon doesn't really get to know Link until a century after Mipha's death; nevertheless, his sister's feelings, combined with Link's heroics against Divine Beast Vah Ruta, still result in Sidon coming to view the Hylian as his best friend. | |

In The Simpsons Flash Forward episode "Holidays of Future Passed," Lisa has married Bart's lifelong Best Friend Milhouse. It's a less-than-idyllic example as the two are at a dry spell in their marriage and she wonders if she should have married Nelson—which means that her other option would have been Bart's other best friend. | |

In the Disney version of Sleeping Beauty, Phillip's dad (King Hubert) and Aurora's dad (King Stefan) are stated to be close friends and a big reason they want their kids to marry each other is to unite their kingdoms. Fortunately, it turns out to be a Perfectly Arranged Marriage, with a touch of Dramatic Irony.note He thought she was a regular peasant girl and she, unaware that she was a princess, fell in love with what she thought was a charming stranger. | |

Happens fairly often in Fire Emblem ever since Genealogy of the Holy War introduced the Love System (which later evolved into the support system from The Binding Blade onward): Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War: In the game, Quan is married to Sigurd's younger sister Ethlyn. The two of them have been friends (along with Eldigan) since their days at the military academy. In Generation 2, Sigurd's son Seliph can potentially end up with Lana, Larcei, or Nanna (or their replacement characters Muirne, Creidne, or Jeanne). All three of them are the sisters of his respective childhood friends Lester, Ulster, and Diarmuid (or Deimne, Dalvin, and Tristan). Larcei is also the cousin of Seliph's Big Brother Mentor, Shannan. Naturally, any possible pair-up of this group will result in this. Nanna (who can also end up with Quan's son Leif) is also Eldigan's niece, so it's a double example. It's also possible to hook up the children of Azelle and Lex, or Alec and Naoise. While it's very tricky, it's also possible to pair Seliph's half-sister Julia up with any of the possible male characters. Tragically averted in Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade, Eliwood's son Roy and Hector's daughter Lilina are each other's main love interests (Eliwood and Hector being Heterosexual Life-Partners in the prequel), but by the time they can potentially get married Hector is dead. In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade the best friend duos of Sain and Kent or Eliwood and Hector can become this if they both marry one of the Pegasus sisters Florina, Fiora, and Farina. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: Tana and Eirika are best friends, whereas Innes and Ephraim are rivals. If Eirika marries Innes or Tana marries Ephraim... Kyle and Forde, who are also rivals (albeit of the more friendly kind), can end up as this if they marry the Frelian sisters Syrene and Vanessa respectively. Fire Emblem: Awakening: The Avatar and Chrom are this if a male Avatar marries Lissa, Emmeryn, Lucina, or Cynthia or Kjelle if either of them are Chrom's daughter. A female Avatar and Chrom are this if she marries Brady or Inigo if either of them are Chrom's son. Lissa and Maribelle are this if Maribelle marries Chrom, and Chrom and Vaike can be this if Lissa marries Vaike. The indirect version is attainable if any of the Avatar's children marries one of Chrom's kids, like a non!Chrom Male Morgan marrying Lucina or either of Lucina's potential little sisters, or a Female Morgan marrying a Chrom!Inigo or a Chrom!Brady. Fire Emblem Fates: Due to time distortion shenanigans, the male Avatar can marry the Cute Clumsy Girl Sophie, who is the daughter of their good friend Silas. Silas can also marry one of the Avatar's sisters: Hinoka, Sakura, Elise, or Camilla. They're all Not Blood Siblings to the Avatar, as it turns out, but the Avatar is close enough to their Hoshidan and Nohrian siblings that it feels like this trope in play. Fire Emblem: Three Houses has an interesting example. If Raphael reaches an A support with Ignatz, their paired ending has Ignatz marry his sister (who is mentioned but never physically appears in the game). Mercedes and Constance can also end up this way if Constance marries Mercedes's brother, Jeritza/Emile. However, this can only occur on Crimson Flower, as it's the only route where Jeritza is playable. |

They try not to think about it too hard, judging by their reaction when they did connect the dots. | |

At the end of the Harry Potter series, Harry becomes brother-in-law to both of his best friends: Ron and Hermione get married and Harry marries Ron's sister, Ginny. This was referenced by the fandom even before it became canon; the Idiosyncratic Ship Name for this set of pairings is "One Big Happy Weasley Family." Since it's implied in the books that Ginny is Hermione's closest female friend, this arrangement makes them best-friends-in-law as well. | |

Scrubs: In the finale, J.D. pictures his and Kim's son, Sam, and Turk and Carla's daughter, Izzy, all grown up and revealing to him and Turk that they're engaged to get married. Cue Squeeing J.D. and Turk. Notable in that, unlike J.D.'s other fantasies, this is part of a montage that J.D. and the finale strongly imply will eventually happen. Given by season 9, two of his visions from that montage (his and Elliot's wedding, and her being pregnant with his second child) have happened already, it probably will. Dr. Cox and Ben Sullivan were this. Their friendship withstood Cox's divorce from Ben's sister. |

Girl Meets World: While there's no technical relationship between them, Riley Matthews calls her father Cory's Heterosexual Life-Partner "Uncle Shawn." When Shawn Hunter begins dating Riley's best friend Maya Hart's mother Katy, she's overjoyed that they're going to be family. Basically everyone has this connection by the end of the series with Riley and Maya's Love Interests being Lucas Friar and Riley's Uncle Josh respectively (with Josh only being a few years older than the girls for context). Maya would in turn become sister-in-law to both Cory and Topanga as well. That would also mean she’d be Riley's aunt—as comedically pointed out early on in the series, Lucas would be Maya and Josh's nephew-in-law and Cory; Topanga and Riley would now all be in-laws to Shawn and Katy as well. |

Scream VI: Tara Carpenter has been good friends with the Meeks-Martin twins Mindy and Chad since they were all younger, with her older sister Samantha having also looked after them all since then. While Tara and Chad are still only friends in the previous film, they develop a romantic relationship here proper. That would mean that through the two's union, the "Core Four" become more than just a family in spirit, but reality too. Sam herself becomes involved with neighbor Danny Brackett and while the four don't know if they can trust him or not, he's still protective and wanting to help. In the end, he does prove himself so too. That would mean through his and Sam's union, Danny also becomes connected to Tara and the Twins as well. |

It's implied near the end of The Elenium that Sparhawk's daughter Danae will marry his squire Kurik's son Talen. Kurik has died by this point, so it's too late for him to be this trope with Sparhawk, but Sparhawk also considers Talen himself a friend so the trope will apply to them. | |

Galaxy Angel II has this potentially happening depending on the player choices regarding Tact and Kazuya. The player decides who is Tact's wife from the Galaxy Angel original trilogy, and depending on who Kazuya ends up romancing, he can end up as Tact's brother-in-law if he pursues Rico and Tact is married to Milfie, or as his son-in-law if he pursues Nano-Nano and Tact is married to Vanilla. | |

The Fantastic Beasts film series shows that this eventually happens between Newt Scamander and his Muggle Best Friend Jacob Kowalski. Though Newt and Tina Goldstein don't actually get together during the course of the movies, it's canon that she eventually becomes his wife; meanwhile, Jacob falls in love with Tina's sister Queenie Goldstein, and marries her at the end of the third movie, with Newt as best man and Tina as maid of honor. Really, since the four of them become solid True Companions in the first movie, they all eventually end up like this. | |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has a few potential cases of at least friends-in-law: The Dragonborn can befriend Annekke Crag-Jumper by doing a quest for her (as indicated by it becoming possible to recruit Annekke as a follower). The Dragonborn can then make her this trope by marrying Sylgja, Annekke's daughter. The Dragonborn can also befriend Vilkas and Farkas, two members of the Companions guild, who are fraternal twins and potential followers; both become candidates for marriage after the guild storyline is completed, and if the Dragonborn marries one, this can be implied with the other. The Dragonborn can become regarded as a good friend by Lucan Valerius by recovering the Golden Claw from Bleak Falls Barrow for him. They can then resolve the quest "A Lovely Letter" by taking the third option of marrying Lucan's sister Camilla, making them this trope. (Unlike the other potential friends-in-law, Lucan is not a potential follower because he's a merchant.) |

Skyhold Academy Yearbook has this as the relationship between Fenris and Bethany; Fenris is married to Bethany's sister, and it's obvious that he and his sister-in-law have a strong platonic affection between them. Later in the series, Hawke and her best friend Varric become this when he marries Bethany. Eventually, because there are so many Family of Choice relationships among the school staff members, Bull jokes about them all being related to each other in a similar manner and needing a flow chart to keep track. | |

Silas can also marry one of the Avatar's sisters: Hinoka, Sakura, Elise, or Camilla. They're all Not Blood Siblings to the Avatar, as it turns out, but the Avatar is close enough to their Hoshidan and Nohrian siblings that it feels like this trope in play. |

The men in A Brother's Price hope for this and/or deliberately try to bring it about, as they can expect to see their family of origin much more often if the families are friends. For Ren, however, the marriage to her best friend's brother didn't work out so well; although Ren was good friends with Kij Porter, it turned out Keifer Porter's death was not a source of grief for any of his wives. | |

Hotel Transylvania: In Hotel Transylvania, Count Dracula tries to get Jonathan, a human tourist who found the hotel by complete accident, out of the hotel before anybody finds out about him. After various failed attempts at doing so, Jonathan ends up becoming very popular among the monsters at the hotel in his monster disguise "Johnnystein", attracting the attention of Dracula's daughter Mavis. Dracula eventually warms up to Johnny and, when the secret is out, Dracula runs off to get him back. In Hotel Transylvania 2, the trope is verified when Johnny marries Mavis and becomes the father of Dracula's grandson Dennis. Here, they conspire behind Mavis's back, Johnny trying to dissuade Mavis from moving them all to California while Dracula tries to prove that Dennis is a vampire (and by extension removing Mavis's incentive to move). |

Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra: Played straight with Aang marrying his friend Sokka's sister, Katara. Averted with Aang and Katara's son, Tenzin. He was in a long-term relationship with Lin, the daughter of their friend Toph, so it's likely the parents expected this trope to eventually happen; but the pair broke up and Tenzin married someone else. The original series has a version of this: Sozin and Roku were best friends early in their lives. Later, Sozin's grandson Ozai married Roku's granddaughter Ursa. However, neither the friendship nor the marriage ended happily... |

The non-canon "Kids" OVA of the Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) depicts three of Ed's grandkids. Two look exactly like Edward and Alphonse, while the third resembles Winry. This means that either Edward or Alphonse married Winry (or her Earth counterpart). | |

In Mansfield Park, Fanny eventually marries her cousin Edmund, and the book observes that her father-in-law completely adores her and goes to great lengths to have her visit. It's something of a variant on the trope, however, since she was already his niece, and she grew up in his house so he adored her even prior to her romance with Edmund. | |

Pride and Prejudice: At the end of the book, Elizabeth marries Mr Darcy, and her sister Jane marries his best friend Mr Bingley. Elizabeth also develops this trope with her new sister-in-law Georgiana; the book notes that they grow to love each other dearly. Elizabeth's best friend Charlotte marries Mr Collins, Elizabeth's father's cousin (the exact relationship between them is never clarified), making them a form of this trope as well. |

In Hotel Transylvania 2, the trope is verified when Johnny marries Mavis and becomes the father of Dracula's grandson Dennis. Here, they conspire behind Mavis's back, Johnny trying to dissuade Mavis from moving them all to California while Dracula tries to prove that Dennis is a vampire (and by extension removing Mavis's incentive to move). | |

Common in A Song of Ice and Fire, since the setting's tradition of Arranged Marriage is explicitly intended (at least in theory) to promote stronger ties between already-friendly nobles. The backstory has Ned Stark and his friend and mentor, Jon Arryn, marrying the Tully sisters, making them brothers-in-law. Robert Baratheon was supposed to marry childhood best friend Ned's sister Lyanna, which would have made them this. That fell through when Rhaegar Targaryen kidnapped her, leading to Robert's Rebellion and her death during it. Robert tries to invoke this trope by arranging marriages between his sons Joffrey and Tommen and Ned's daughters Sansa and Arya, explicitly comparing it to the betrothal between himself and Lyanna. Of course, there's also a political motivation; he wants Ned to accept an appointment as King's Hand, and this is a way of sweetening the deal. Ser Loras Tyrell and Lord Renly Baratheon aren't "just" best friends, of course, but the trope still applies: Ser Loras brokers a marriage between his sister Margaery and Lord Renly because, among other reasons, Loras will have a good reason to spend a lot of time with Renly. |

Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War: In the game, Quan is married to Sigurd's younger sister Ethlyn. The two of them have been friends (along with Eldigan) since their days at the military academy. In Generation 2, Sigurd's son Seliph can potentially end up with Lana, Larcei, or Nanna (or their replacement characters Muirne, Creidne, or Jeanne). All three of them are the sisters of his respective childhood friends Lester, Ulster, and Diarmuid (or Deimne, Dalvin, and Tristan). Larcei is also the cousin of Seliph's Big Brother Mentor, Shannan. Naturally, any possible pair-up of this group will result in this. Nanna (who can also end up with Quan's son Leif) is also Eldigan's niece, so it's a double example. It's also possible to hook up the children of Azelle and Lex, or Alec and Naoise. While it's very tricky, it's also possible to pair Seliph's half-sister Julia up with any of the possible male characters. |

While Tara and Chad are still only friends in the previous film, they develop a romantic relationship here proper.

Game of Thrones: King Robert Baratheon seemed to have something like this in mind when he visits his Fire-Forged Friend Lord Eddard Stark, to both name him The Consigliere and to suggest marrying Ned's daughter Sansa to Robert's "son" Joffrey when they come of age (in truth, Joffrey is the incestuous offspring of the Queen and her brother, but Robert doesn't know that). Since Joffrey is in fact a total psycho, this didn't come to pass, and both Robert and Ned are killed off well before any marriage ceremony can take place. Posthumously, Robert's bastard son Gendry does become intimate with Ned's second daughter Arya. Considering that Ser Loras Tyrell had dreamed of marrying his boyfriend Lord Renly Baratheon from a very young age (Renly is the "bride" in "green and gold brocade" — Renly wore a green brocade cloak to show his support for Loras at the jousting match), becoming brothers-in-law by Renly marrying Margaery was the only viable way for Renly to become part of Loras's family (and not Loras becoming part of Renly's family - there is a distinction), in addition to being motivated by politics. Since he was a young teen, Loras had hoped to make this fantasy come true in some form, and his family's lofty ambitions would later become the perfect excuse to permanently bond Renly to the Tyrells. Margaery is even willing to share Renly with Loras if it helps to get her pregnant. In the novels, Renly continued to use the traditional yellow-and-black sigil of House Baratheon after he declared himself king, but his TV counterpart adopts the green and gold of House Tyrell for his banner, which is Renly's way of demonstrating to Loras that he is indeed a Tyrell at heart if not in name, because Highgarden's colours are now his own. Loras makes a Freudian Slip in "Valar Morghulis" ("My sister Margaery, her husband was taken from us before...") which proves that he considers Renly to be his "husband." Margaery attempts to invoke this with her dear friend Sansa Stark, by trying to set up a betrothal between Sansa and Loras. The Lannisters interfere before it can get very far, but the girls enjoy the idea while it lasts. |

Olivia and Grandma Walton are this on The Waltons. While their husbands, who are father and son, will frequently butt heads, it's very rare for the two women to be anything but respectful and affectionate toward each other. Grandma doesn't have a daughter, and Olivia has no apparent relationship with her own parents (they never appear on the show and are almost never mentioned), so they are mother and daughter in all but name. | |

Modern Family sets this up by its very nature: All twelve leads are immediate family and very close to all the others, so this happens whenever there's an in-law relationship. In particular, Phil and Mitchell, and Claire and Cam are siblings-in-law who enjoy spending time together independently of the rest of the family to pursue particular interests or hobbies. Phil and Cam might also count in this regard since they're married to siblings from the same family and often hang out together. Jay shares this relationship with one son-in-law (Cam) but not the other (Phil). Poor Phil obviously feels snubbed by this, though it becomes increasingly apparent that Jay cares for him much more than he lets on; to be fair, he's often harsh to Cam too (particularly when referring to him as "my son's friend" in front of his buddies), and only really bonds with him over their shared love of sports. One of the reasons Phil is such a big Shipper on Deck for Haley and Andy is clearly that he would like nothing better than to have Andy as a son-in-law. The feeling is obviously mutual, as Andy idolises Phil. |

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Catarina has this relationship with two of her Childhood Friends. Mary is engaged to Alan, the twin brother of Katarina's fiance Geordo. This gets complicated since in the series which royally put the game off-rails thanks to Catarina's change of personality and her active ways to avoid her doom, Mary and Alan have feelings towards Catarina, which Geordo doesn't appreciate. Meanwhile, Sophia actively tries to hook Catarina up with her older brother Nicol, who has feelings for her but doesn't act on it out of respect for Geordo. This also applies within the unaltered game scenario as well. From what little Catarina knew of Nicol's route, getting the good ending requires the player to have a very close relationship with Sophia. |

It's implied that Naruto and Hinata's mothers were friends back when the former was alive. Kushina's chakra ghost also mentions that she had originally theorized that Naruto would end up with the second child of her best friend Mikoto, though this was before she found out that Sasuke was a boy. In the epilogue, Matsuri and her friend Sari are sister-in-laws due to them being respectively married to Gaara and Kankuro (Matsuri is specifically mentioned to have played matchmaker for the latter couple). |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Implied by the ending of Fullmetal Alchemist. Brothers Edward and Alphonse have grown up with their neighbor Winry, and the three are extremely close. The story ends with Edward having married Winry, making her and Alphonse this trope. The non-canon "Kids" OVA of the Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) depicts three of Ed's grandkids. Two look exactly like Edward and Alphonse, while the third resembles Winry. This means that either Edward or Alphonse married Winry (or her Earth counterpart). |

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: Tana and Eirika are best friends, whereas Innes and Ephraim are rivals. If Eirika marries Innes or Tana marries Ephraim... Kyle and Forde, who are also rivals (albeit of the more friendly kind), can end up as this if they marry the Frelian sisters Syrene and Vanessa respectively. |

Superman: In some alternate universe stories (like Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #57), Jimmy Olsen got married to Supergirl, Superman's cousin. (He didn't originally know that she was Superman's cousin, having married her Secret Identity, Linda Lee Danvers, but presumably he considered it another plus once he found out.) In Jimmy Olsen #56, Superman marries Lois Lane and Jimmy marries Lucy, Lois' younger sister. Their children also form a relationship in the same issue, though there's less concern about the fact that they're cousins and more about the fact that Superman's daughter being a hero herself could potentially put Jimmy Jr.'s life in danger. |

When Ana and Christian initially get engaged as well, Christian's adopted sister Mia—who's become good friends with Ana as well—delights in the idea that she'll basically be her sister soon too—and Mia had become friends with Kate prior to her engagement with Elliot too. | |

The conclusion of The Importance of Being Earnest implies this will be the case for protagonist Jack and his best friend Algernon, as Jack plans to marry Algie's cousin Gwendolen and Algie is going to marry Jack's ward Cecily. Somewhat zig-zagged by The Reveal that Jack himself is also Gwendolen's cousin - he's not just Algernon's best friend, but his long-lost older brother. The trope is still in play for Cecily, however, who will become sister-in-law to her legal guardian, whom she adores. | |

Fire Emblem: Three Houses has an interesting example. If Raphael reaches an A support with Ignatz, their paired ending has Ignatz marry his sister (who is mentioned but never physically appears in the game). Mercedes and Constance can also end up this way if Constance marries Mercedes's brother, Jeritza/Emile. However, this can only occur on Crimson Flower, as it's the only route where Jeritza is playable. |

Fire Emblem: Awakening: The Avatar and Chrom are this if a male Avatar marries Lissa, Emmeryn, Lucina, or Cynthia or Kjelle if either of them are Chrom's daughter. A female Avatar and Chrom are this if she marries Brady or Inigo if either of them are Chrom's son. Lissa and Maribelle are this if Maribelle marries Chrom, and Chrom and Vaike can be this if Lissa marries Vaike. The indirect version is attainable if any of the Avatar's children marries one of Chrom's kids, like a non!Chrom Male Morgan marrying Lucina or either of Lucina's potential little sisters, or a Female Morgan marrying a Chrom!Inigo or a Chrom!Brady. |

When Chandler and Monica explain that they're in a serious relationship and in love and not just fooling around, Ross repeats it, only this time overjoyed. Of course, he was taking anti-rage drugs at the time. When Ross and Rachel start dating, Monica almost name-drops the trope, saying she and Rachel will be "friends-in-law". |
