Real Kato Blog: Sister-in-law-in-law

What do you call the new wife of your brother-in-law? Is there some special term for that, or is she still just your sister-in-law?

Meet Jennifer, who is so sweet and adorable that if she hadn't become part of the family through marriage, I would have adopted her. She married my brother-in-law Neil, who is awesome in many ways (for example: survived a helicopter crash in Iraq).

Neil and Jenn

I had my fancy camera with me and I took more than 500 pictures at their wedding. I'm slowly working through post-processing them in Photoshop. I'll post them to Facebook as I get through them.

If you like both her and your brother-in-law, she's your sister-in-law.
If you like your brother-in-law but not her, she's your brother-in-law's wife.
If you don't like either of them, she's your wife's brother's wife.

My dad and my mom's youngest sister's husband get along very well, and dad has always referred to him fondly as an "in-law".

Be technical definition in polite society she is your sister-in-law but I prefer Phil's definition!
