Does this word have something to do with Turkish weddings?

Usually, whenever anyone outside my wifes family called me 'eniste', in meant that they wanted something from me.
I'm NOT trying to be disrespectful... that's the way it always came out. People I never knew... then it was usually followed by, "Can you get me a...".

Eniste is the Turkish word to describe the Brother-in-law of someone's mother or father.

eniste is one word that i like alot;-))
specially when we have a foreign damat;-)
When there is a foreign damat the Turkish girl becomes the daughter of whole Turkey and the guy becomes either damat or eniste of whole Turkey;-))
Turkish people are so fun with this:-)

ENISTE is the husband of
a) your sister, or
b) your aunt
depending on the closeness of family ties, it can also be the husband of your female cousins

No, Ipek, I'm right here. She is Istanbul Bogazi! :)))
I can describe an eniÅte as the generic male brother-in-law.
There are subtleties to family naming that even I haven't solved. Good luck to you.
