[Wedding Crashers] Did the Clearys think that Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson were their relatives?

Were they just all cool with incest?

Presumably they assumed they were from the groom’s side (even though they sat on the bride’s side IIRC) so it wouldn’t be incestuous.

That being said, being the sons of “Ned, the brother of Aunt Liz” doesn’t necessarily mean a blood relationship. Aunt could be a term for a cousin or even a close, non-blood female relationship.

Alternatively, they were in the elite upper class. Maybe closer blood ties to keep the bloodlines pure aren’t as rare and antiquated as we think.
