The Toms do crazy things together

In every great friendship there’s “one of those nights” – a night that will be remembered forever because it was just that crazy. The Toms will always remember one of those nights because, well, it’s tattooed on their butts. The two got butt tattoos in Vegas to impress their girlfriends, and even though their hearts were in the right place, their girlfriends just thought it was a joke. Try flowers next time, boys.

The Toms aren’t afraid to defend each other

Case in point, that disaster of a joint bachelor/bachelorette party in New Orleans. Why did they think that was going to be a good idea again? That’s where Katie dredged up the past, accusing Tom Schwartz of cheating on her in Vegas. The girls ganged up on Schwartz, but Sandoval refused to let his friend go down without a fight — even if he was the only one doing the fighting. The best part of it all wasn’t that Sandoval came to the rescue, but that he did it in drag. Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them wear fake eyelashes and wig caps.

As they lingered in their liplock, it was clear this kiss was no peck on the lips. In a way, it seemed to be an expression of their love for each other.
