We're not sure how long it’s going to take our hearts or tear-ducts to recover from The Bachelorette Season 8 Finale. Between Emily Maynard introducing Jef Holm to her daughter Ricki and Arie Luyendyk, Jr.’s unexpected final date elimination, we’re just glad that we had Bachelor Nation there to live-tweet us through the rollercoaster of emotions.

Here’ the best of the best tweets we came across — enjoy (sob, sob)!

I'm really not getting much air time this episode.

Marissa May@MarissajustMay
this date [between Emily and Jef] is looking and sounding (the waves, not the convo) like a corona commercial

Marissa May@MarissajustMay
Wow....never thought it about it until Em just said it. If this doesn't work she will have been engaged three times #yikes

Michael Nance@MNanceMusic
the parents can't decide. neither can I - #winwin

Dana Weiss@Possessionista
Emily's about to tell arie he’s somebody that she used to know.

Marissa May@MarissajustMay
uh oh..Emily is calling BOTH OF THEM honey. #bachelorette

John Wolfner@jwolfner
Ricki is wondering if Jef is really Justin Bieber.

Dana Weiss@Possessionista
Hey ricki what's your favorite trick? If you screw up with me I'll make you disappear #bachelorette

Marissa May@MarissajustMay
in the most dramatic finale in #bachelorette history, Ricki will pick her stepdad LIVE via an intense game of duck duck goose

Tenley Molzahn@TenleyMolzahn
I cannot believe it!!!! Emily's mind is already made up! Wow! Goosebumps!

Ashley Elgin@BachelorExpert
I really hope Arie doesn't pull a Dougie and kiss Em during her breakup speech.

Chris Bukowski@chrisjbukowski
99.9% of women all over America are rejoicing that Arie is back on the market. Arie's team just got much bigger...

Elyse Myers@Elyse_Myers
Sorry I'm behind but when Emily gave [Arie] that last hug goodbye did anyone else hear the mic pick up the racing heart beat?

Jackie Gordon@JackieGordon
OK, that was amazing, @EmilyMaynard and @jefholm. One of the best proposals and finales I've seen.

Nick Peterson@PeetysTraining
And there you have it folks. The future Emily Holm will forever have a lifetime supply of People Water.

Scotch The Dog@BensDogScotch
Is Ralph Macchio gonna karate chop something fierce in a moment?
