Michael told Mashablethat his inspiration was, "A couple years ago I had a rough breakup and self-medicated through wine. Though I'm over the breakup (and the copious consumption!) now I always thought it would be sad, funny, and a little sweet to make a companion from the empty cartons left over."

I mean, their couple photos are better than any couple photos I'll ever have.

This one even has a cat. What's more couple-y than a cat?

If I didn't before, Michael, now I do.
