Who Does Andy Marry at the End of The Office? A Love Story Filled with More Twists than a Pretzel
Ah, Andy Bernard. The man who went from a singing, a cappella-loving, Cornell-educated paper salesman to a… well, let’s just say a man who went through some changes. But one thing that always seems to come up is: Who does Andy end up with at the end of The Office? The answer is a bit of a rollercoaster ride, so buckle up, folks.
Now, before we dive into the depths of Andy’s love life, let’s set the scene. We’ve got Angela, the perpetually grumpy, cat-loving, Dwight-obsessed office manager. Then there’s Erin, the sweet, innocent, and utterly smitten receptionist. And of course, we can’t forget Dwight, the beet farmer, assistant regional manager, and Angela’s secret flame.
Andy, being the charming, albeit slightly oblivious, character he is, finds himself entangled with both Angela and Erin. He starts off with a crush on Angela, which eventually blossoms into a relationship. During Toby’s departure party, Andy proposes to Angela with a ring he’s been carrying in his wallet for six years. Angela, in her usual stoic demeanor, simply replies, “Okay.”
Now, if you’re thinking, “Wait, isn’t Angela already in a relationship with Dwight?” Well, you’re not wrong. Angela and Dwight have a long-standing, secret, and rather… complicated relationship. They’re like the office version of Romeo and Juliet, except with less poetry and more awkward stares.
Throughout Season 5, Angela continues her secret romance with Dwight while engaged to Andy. This is where things get a little messy, even for The Office standards.
Here’s the deal: Andy, in his perpetual state of cluelessness, completely misses the signs of Angela’s double life. While he’s busy planning the dream wedding, Angela is sneaking off with Dwight, their clandestine rendezvous often taking place right under Andy’s nose.
You could say Andy’s a bit of a slow learner, but who wouldn’t be when your beloved is secretly plotting to escape with the office weirdo? So, to answer your question, Andy ends up marrying Angela. But here’s the kicker: the wedding happens in the series finale, and it’s filled with more awkwardness than a first date with your mother.
At the very end of the finale, Phyllis, the ever-observant and slightly sarcastic receptionist, catches Angela and Dwight getting cozy in the office. Talk about a wedding day surprise! The final scene ends with Dwight pulling Angela away from the dance floor, a look of pure glee on his face.
So, while Andy and Angela technically get married, their relationship is doomed from the start. Angela’s heart belongs to Dwight, and it’s clear that Andy is ultimately the one who gets the short end of the stick.
But hey, at least Andy gets to be a viral video star. He might not have found true love in the office, but he certainly found a way to make a name for himself.
The Office: A Love Story for the Ages…or at Least for a Few Seasons
The Office is a show that celebrates the quirks of love, the absurdity of workplace relationships, and the enduring power of awkwardness. We’ve seen it all: Jim and Pam’s slow-burn romance, Michael’s eccentric love life, and Dwight’s undying devotion to Angela (which, frankly, is a bit creepy at times).
And then there’s Andy. His story is a testament to the fact that love can be messy, confusing, and filled with more twists and turns than a pretzel. He’s a reminder that even when you think you’ve found the one, life has a way of throwing you a curveball.
But hey, at least he can sing. And that’s a talent that’s worth celebrating, even if his love life is a disaster.
So, the next time you’re watching The Office, take a moment to appreciate the chaotic beauty of Andy’s love story. It’s a reminder that even the most well-intentioned plans can go awry, and sometimes, the best thing to do is just sing your heart out and hope for the best.
And if you’re ever looking for a good laugh, just watch the scene where Andy proposes to Angela. The look on her face is priceless.
