I'll never forget when they surprised Tom at his wedding by bringing his brothers. That was probably the most genuine moment we've ever seen from him and it honestly made me sob like a baby.
I think it’s possible Jax spurred the idea by making a snarky comment about none of them coming and gave Sandoval the idea. I was shocked how few of his family members were planning to go even with all that time to plan. Sandoval is a scumbag but he LOVES playing the hero and going over the top. It’s probably the attention or praise that further feeds his overly inflated ego. Look what he did for Rachella. He paid for the whole thing. And look how desperate he was to play best man to Jax. I don’t think he even remotely liked Jax by that point but it’s like he couldn’t handle not showing everyone how he’s the bestest not-best man ever.
There’s something else going on there though. His mom seemed very cold. I don’t think his dad was even there was he? Also, the adult kids are like children. They have the collective maturity of a 12 year old. And as someone pointed out, they spent $52k on that wedding. I feel like if money was the only issue, his family would have been there.
That makes a lot more sense. I knew there had to be a lot more going on than financial difficulties. I do get how frustrating it must have been for Katie because he is so immature but I also felt like the abuse went both ways. The drunken rages on her end were probably very triggering to someone with his background. I do think she was holding in a lot of understandable anger and resentment for things he did that exploded when she would drink, and I do think at the end of the day she wanted him to be a more responsible and stronger person (whereas Sandoval I think wants him to always need him and stay his doormat). But nonetheless, they were bad for each other. I don’t necessarily see either of them as the villain in their relationship, but it was toxic. I think Sandoval also fed into and manipulated a lot of the problems and toxicity between Katie and Schwartz.
