Voltmeter is connected in parallel with circuit elements because it is used to measure the device's voltage. If it's connected in series then it will change the value of potential difference which will minimise the current in the circuit as it has very large resistance and you will get faulty readings. Voltmeter is always connected in parallel because it has high internal resistance. A voltmeter, in reality, only needs a very small amount of current to measure the potential difference between its ends, hence the need to have a very high internal resistance.
