They say that Mary and May are sisters, but wouldnt it make more sense for Richard and Ben to be brothers? Is it a coincidence Mary and May both married a man named Parker? Or are Richard and Ben siblings as well? Is this a case of pairs of siblings getting married?

This has always confused me

If she said we partied, then I'm pretty sure we partied. I really don't remember. I remember we departed from our bodies.

Huh. I could have sworn that it was stated somewhere that May is his aunt on his mothers side. Maybe it was the Ultimate universe? Or maybe Im just misremembering

Writers forget things all the time. I remember once a comic got Aunt May's maiden name wrong. Somehow 4+ people working on that comic forgot Ben Reilly was a thing.

I think you're just misremembering. May's also related by marriage in Ultimate, too.

I think that was the Ultimate Universe. In the main universe May's maiden name was Reilly (which is where Ben Reilly took his last name from). Mary's maiden name was Fitzgerald.

May was also secretly implied to be Peter's real mother in a dubiously "canon to some universe" story that tried and failed to get teen girls into comics:

I thought we all collectively agreed to pretend that Trouble was never a thing that happened.

Or just, they screwed up the details in some retellings or something.
