There is no way you watched last year's New Girl [1] 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.
They Start Out as Just Friends
Sort of — He's Mostly Just an Annoyance
Who Says Only Awkward Things
Very Awkward, Borderline Offensive Things
But to Our (and Their) Shock . . .
Well, It's Just Sex For a While
Outside of Bed, Cece Is Not That Into Him
He Says the Wrong Thing, a Lot
Meanwhile, They Have THE BEST Chemistry
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
Schmidt Blows It Eventually, and His Dumb Mouth Does Not Help Him
It Doesn't Take Long For Him to Realize He Blew It
With Awkward Yet Heartfelt Words
And They Can't Stay Away From Each Other
And That Chemistry Is Still So Hot
But Their "Friendship" Is Still Rife With Flirting
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
