Updated on Jan 6, 2016 at 3:15 PM

There is no way you watched last year's New Girl season finale and didn't let out a huge "Awwww," at the end. Even if you just did it internally. The show has had its ups and downs, but the engagement of Schmidt and Cece was like a reward for devoted viewers. Now with them back together and planning a wedding in the new season, we're looking back at their sexy, sweet courtship. It's been a silly, fun road to engagement for these two, so in honor of their big event, we're going back to the beginning and reliving their relationship from then to now.

Very Awkward, Borderline Offensive Things

But to Our (and Their) Shock . . .

They Start Hooking Up

And It's Not Just Sex

Well, It's Just Sex For a While

Outside of Bed, Cece Is Not That Into Him

And Pretty Mean

He Says the Wrong Thing, a Lot

Meanwhile, They Have THE BEST Chemistry

So Cute

So Hot

Then, Cece Finally Realizes She DOES Like Schmidt

And They Finally Admit It

They're So Cute For a While

Look at How She Looks at Him

She Just Gets Him

Schmidt Blows It Eventually, and His Dumb Mouth Does Not Help Him

What Is Wrong With Him?

It Doesn't Take Long For Him to Realize He Blew It

And Try to Get Her Back

With Awkward Yet Heartfelt Words

And They Can't Stay Away From Each Other

And That Chemistry Is Still So Hot

Though They Try Again

He Messes Up Again

But Their "Friendship" Is Still Rife With Flirting

And Sweet Declarations

It's Hard to Believe They Stay Apart For So Long

Which Brings Us to Now . . .

Well, First We Have to Rewind to Their First Meeting

Awww . . .

Yes! He Is!

It's Perfect.

She Says Yes!!!
