Is your sister in law Muslim? If yes, then you should take a stand and not attend it because she isn't married to that man and also because he's not a Muslim. Islam highly emphasizes on maintaining family relations but when there are sins involved, it is not permissible to attend them. You should explain this to your wife if she's a Muslim.

Asalamualykum

If i understood Mufti Menk correctly he advises you can fast anytime after Eid but during the month of shawal and they do not need to be consecutively as long as you keep them in the month of shawal.

But generally speaking you will always be presented with good v evil in life. The choices you make define who you are or who you will be and your connection with Allah swt. The more you make difficult but good choices the more your ranks with Allah swt rises and the more sweetness of emaan you feel. Insha Allah.
