Summary
We wanted to do something a little different to celebrate New Year's Eve (and the end of 2020!). So today, inspired by Episode 1 (How We Met), we're doing another throwback: we're going back in time to 2014, to what happened after Shandy met, and how (and when) Andy eventually proposed. Watch on to hear his thought process, how he chose the ring (and whether or not Sharleen liked it!), and Andy's "stroke of genius" idea in ensuring the proposal would be a true surprise!

| 0:22.0 | We haven't really done an episode quite like this since our very first episode, |
| 0:27.2 | which to be fair, we did not know whatever, see the light of day. |
| 0:31.6 | When we recorded that, and so it feels, I'm a little like, weirdly nervous. |
| 0:35.4 | I feel like sort of like there's like a formality. |
| 0:37.2 | It's very personal. |
| 0:38.5 | It is very personal, and now that we know that we actually have people listening, |
| 0:41.9 | I feel a little shy, because it's a lot easier to reveal things about your own relationship |
| 0:47.1 | and about your own dating history when it just sort of comes up with someone else's story. |
| 0:52.6 | But you just sit down and tell your own story is, I don't know, a little nervous. |
| 0:57.2 | I'll get into it. |
| 0:59.2 | I'll get into it. |
| 1:00.2 | I should also mention that I'm a little glum today, because we are recording this on Christmas day. |
| 1:08.1 | Yeah, I normally would spend Christmas at home in Ottawa, Canada, with my family. |
