Are you both single and above the age of consent? If so, I don’t see a problem. ---

Are you both currently unattached or does this involve infidelity? And how in the name of the eighth ray have we become a relationship advice forum? ---

I don’t think the OP is looking for actual advice. What she needs is “HELP!”. Someone call 9-1-1 while the rest of us organize a rescue party. ---

Seriously, we’ve done this before. Several folks here are part of 2-brothers-marry-2-sisters couples or know or are related to folks who are. It \*can \*work fine. It \*can \*get messy if somebody gets divorced, or one family is real close knit and the other is more aloof. Lots more opportunities for drama than if you marry somebody unrelated to your sibling’s spouses. But “opportunities for drama” aren’t the same thing as “guaranteed epic fail”. ---
