Not, yet but within the year. Congratulations, you've been promoted. You're gonna be with us for a few more years. Can't wait to tell Tom. [ MUSIC ] You told me that it was gonna be 2 years. It's sort of liek when you're on a treadmill and you tell yourself I'm gonna run 5 miles today and now it's forever miles. When was the last time you were on a treadmill? Sorry. It's supposed to be exciting. It's your wedding.

You only get a few of these. Of course the men will wear yamikas. [ MUSIC ] Babe, you don't have a yamalka. I have a hold, it's in my. [ SOUND ] True story. [ MUSIC ] I don't think we can figure out all of our problems before we get married. But I promise you that I will just love you every step of the way. Violence.
