Well, you guys have a lovely, lovely honeymoon.
I am insanely jealous, but not because of the honeymoon,
but because of all the little cuteness I see here
with all you guys as couples. - Aw.
- So you guys have a wonderful time.
And I'm so glad I got to meet you guys.
- Yeah, we'll miss you. - Take care.
- Bye, Mike. - Yeah.
Great guy, man. Great guy.
We love Mike. We love Mike.
- What's next for me is just...
going through what I need to go through
to continue to process this.
And there's going to be things that I know I'm not going
to enjoy feeling, but accepting that
and then allowing me to feel it
and kind of going from there.
