JAFAAC if ever I've seen one. More than that, it's straight up confusing by suggesting some sort of relation between two Dracula and Frankenstein figures from different works, but what that has to do with the trope...? Without showing anything at all about one character having a relationship with the other character's sister/daughter, it's worse than nothing.

Wow, that's bad. Pull it.

If it weren't for the URL I'd think it was intended for a different trope. Pull.

Pull regardless of replacement.

Maybe this from the Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice, with added text and arrows to show the relationship between the characters? ("Sisters" and "Best Friends," or something)

^ Miles better if we can make the relationship apparent.

Only seeing this now. Is 8 really an example? If I understand the trope correctly, one of the best friends must be brother to either of the two brides which doesn't seem to be the case. I am confused.

^ I think you're just reading it too narrowly. There are a variety of possible connections that can make it an example—two male best friends marrying two women who are sisters is one.

Okay, now I see it. A pretty pathetic attempt at closeness this is, methinks [rollingeyes].
