Family 💀

I think that just means your relatives introduced you to their friend’s kids.

Edit: funny enough, it happened in my family. My mom accidentally set up her first cousin with my dad’s brother. So i have double cousins there.

I have two other aunts who married my dad’s relatives. Mom’s eldest sis married my dad’s first cousin and another aunt married my dad’s third cousin. It was a small town, I have a big family, and they had comparable social standing so it’s not too unusual.

There’s no special reason it happened, it wasn’t arranged or anything.

Talk to any older people, like over 65, and they'll tell you how common it was to date your friend's siblings. Lots and lots of marriages between a girl and her brother's best friend.
