'Smile Time'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Typo, you have trouble believing in three assholes? Knowing three assholes? Trusting three guys with impulse control issues and poor judgement?
The last. Trusting one asshole can happen to anyone. But it seems like extremely bad luck to trust three out of three. Or am I wrong in thinking that Groomsmen are usually friends of fairly long standing? Like you know their characters?
"let's call a diamond, a diamond."
This is genius, and I will use it at the next opportunity.

Not if you're an asshole or an idiot.
Or unlucky.
I want to ask more questions, but I don't know this person well enough to pry to this degree.
I don't know her as well as a buffista, for example.
Until ten minutes ago, I had no idea that there was any connotation to the word "spade" outside of gardening, playing cards, or misspelled veterinary procedures. On the other hand, I was also unaware of the fig and trough origins. Knowing now that there was quite likely an earthy double entendre in that, I may amuse myself by adopting that.
'm a smartass. So occasionally I will say: "let's call a diamond, a diamond."
Hah, I'd be more likely to go with club, for the same bash-over-head properties as a spade(shovel). :)

Wait, I lost track--is this a wedding someone you know attended? Or her own wedding? Or she just knows the groomsmen? I don't think I could stop myself from prying. Dang.
About the plane tickets for the groomsmen, that might be considered a conditional gift. So depending on state law, it might be recoverable.
meara,
this is a woman whose brother was the groom.
if I knew the bride or the groom I would pry. And extend my apologies for prying. and pry some more.
