Nick and Jess's Cutest Moments on New Girl

It's been about a year since Nick (Jake Johnson) swooped in and kissed Jess (Zooey Deschanel) last season on New Girl, and it's time to take stock of their relationship. They've had a bunch of ups and downs and tons of awkward moments (some of which were with Prince), but on the whole, their relationship has been an overload of adorableness. Take a look through to see how they've gone from roommates to much more!
