I love you forever for having that image from behind on the boat. I just re-watched the clip of the end of this episode for the first time in ages and got weepy. That picture is worth a thousand words.

Not even a sappy kind of gal but the every thing Jim said and did in this episode was an A. He swept me off my feet that’s for sure. As for the rest…it was just so…Office:) Not to mention I got really excited about Dwight’s “Howling at the moon” shirt because I’m proud to say my grandma has sported that exact piece of fabric for the past 15 yrs. I used to make fun of her…now I’d buy the shirt off of her if she didn’t love it so much. Kudos to the Office, and my grandma for that matter. Absolute success.
PS — Thanks for clearing up the whole youtube video thing. I was very confused, but it’s all so clear now:)

No wedding vows? Sure, the show was funny, but they should have alloted time for an emotional payoff for the fans. As much as I am glad that Pam and Jim are married, I was left feeling let down because I didn’t atually SEE A WEDDING.

I really enjoyed it. The puking at the beginning was so unexpected and inappropriate for a big wedding episode – hilarious! It was a very touching episode, a classic Office with awkward moments, inappropriate speeches, and JAM sweetness. I rolled my eyes at the “Waiting my whole life” part the first time…such a knock off – but after re-watching it – it is SO Office, and it was very sweet.

Yeah, I was gonna mention Michael and Pam’s mom, too, as an awesome mental picture.
I love this show, but I think I might be too squeamish for the wedding, including, the puking, Michael’s sex toast, Dwight eating breakfast with food falling out of his mouth and Andy in Pam’s car saying something about “her stupid wedding.” Maybe it reminded me too much of my own wedding.

I really was looking forward to a tearjerker, I was just in the mood. I did cry right at the end, but on the whole it wasn’t tender and emotional enough for me. I know, I was probably looking forward to a different T.V. show…

Are you pushing me off the phone?
No, let’s talk for a long time!

Oh my gosh, SUCH a good episode. A little cheesy, a little self indulgent, but c’mon. This documentary isn’t just about Pam and Jim, its about the entire office and I’m so so glad that so many other people got as much screen time as they did. The dance was fantastic.

But sidebar, umm Michale and Pam’s mom???? Hello! I hope hope HOPE that isn’t just a hook up, the comedic possibilites of that arch are endless!!!

Reading your recap has brought tears to my eyes- I need to go rewatch it immediately! I was so overtaken with all the funny and awkward in this episode that it was hard for me to truly stop and enjoy the sweet Jim and Pam moments: the mental pictures! the glances in the church! Thank you John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer for once again bringing these two to life and making all of us fans so proud

I LOVED that we did not get to hear their vows- it was just like the gas station proposal, the revealing of the pregnancy and it was perfect. I have always appreciated that the writers and director do it that way because a) it keeps Jim and Pam realistic- that we are getting a small glimpse into their life and b) JKras and Jenna can say more with their facial expressions than most can with words.

Overall, amazing and I’m sure I’ll love it even more after repeated viewings!
A great line- Angela: “Some of us have to be our own grandmother” hahaha!

Oh and I actually liked Kevin’s hair. I’m looking forward to seeing it again.

I’m a little disappointed we didn’t get to hear the vows but perhaps that would have been a little too ‘Days of Our Lives’ and maybe the vows were already contained in Jim’s rehearsal dinner speech. But I have invested a lot of time in this relationship and did want to hear the words “I James Halpert…’ It is sort of similar to how I felt about the proposal filmed from a distance in the rain at a rest stop. Maybe I was looking for a little full on schmaltz, but that isn’t The Office, I guess.

I feel a little prescient in that I cited Booze Cruise as containing my personal favorite JAM moments on your night before posting, GMMR. The real wedding was most assuredly a call back with a much happier ending.

I didn’t cry until the Chris Rock song started and then the dancing began and Jim and Pam exchanged those knowing smiles we have grown to love. Then there was no stopping the tears.

I cried like a baby through the whole dance/maid of the mist scene. Every character truely did get to shine. I was a little annoyed at the promos for this episode because they totally gave away that they were going to do the youtube/chris brown wedding thing, but I still loved it. Each character’s dance was pitch perfect for them, and Jim and Pam going off to get married on a boat by themselves was perfect. Then when Jim gave his list of back of plans I cried a little more, and just when I didn’t think I could cry any harder we see Jim’s face as Pam has her head on his shoulder- WOW! What a good day it was on Diversity Day when the girl he loved fell asleep on his shoulder – and now here she is as his wife. I’m crying again just writing about it!

Another moment I wanted to add to the good moments of the episode was when Michael is watching Dwight eat his breakfast after his night with Pam’s bestfriend and listening to him talk about how she isn’t for him. I love how to Michael this is like his dream scenario! He would LOVE to date Pam’s best friend. I felt like you could see in Michael’s eyes all the possibilites of that, and how much he waned that.

Good episode, great ending!

That was such a perfect episode. Love your post episode write up! And that tighty whities scene is the best thing the Office ever filmed.

Loved the episode, teared up a few times
Am I the only one who finds it funny that in Season 2 Dwight didn’t know what the “female vagina” looked like and now he’s some sort of stud?! I guess he owes it all to Toby!

Hey, I just wanted to make a note about that shirt Dwight was wearing in the episode. It’s actually already available to purchase through Amazon. The shirt was yet another witty little cultural reference the writers were making to what is essentially a sort of internet meme. The shirt is called the Three Wolf Moon shirt from a company called Mountain Men. For one reason or another, the shirt really caught on with people over the internet a year or so ago. Go here:

http://www.amazon.com/Mountain-Mens-Three-Short-Sleeve/dp/B002HJ377A

and read the hilarious comments from “buyers.” It’s part of what made the shirt so popular, and it also appears that the Office writers may have borrowed bits and pieces from the comments for the dialogue about Dwight’s attire in the episode. It’s definitely worth your while. Great episode by the way. I haven’t enjoyed an Office episode like that in a while.

Oh my gosh! I hadn’t even thought about Booze Cruise. Good point, Michele.

An instant classic. THIS is how you do a “very special wedding episode”. The cold open was a little hard to stomach (har har), but from there it kept climbing until Jim’s plans A-C and the beautifully content look on his face on the boat. Now about Michael and Pam’s mom…

By: Michele

Michele — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:27:21 +0000

Really cool Greenbean! I met my husband at work 16 years ago and we’ve been married for 9. I always saw us in Jim & Pam also, which just goes to show what REAL couple they are. Loved the wedding & pregnancy stuff too (though the scrotum stuff may have been a little extra cringe-worthy…) Yay Jim & Pam!! ♥♥♥

By: Greenbean

Greenbean — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:19:16 +0000

LOVED IT!!! Absolutely perfect, including the squeamish moments (by which I mean Jim’s oops in his speech, not the puking scene — although I can definitely relate to the pregnancy morning sickness stuff). My hubby and I met at work 31 years ago and have been married for 29 years, and I think that’s why I have such a soft spot for Jim and Pam. This show is the highlight of our viewing week! And my hubby is still my favorite first husband and still a hunk! How cool is that?!!!

I don’t remember a second until the end. I loved the song before the Youtube video, I loved the Youtube video and I FREAKING LOVED the end of this episode. I was smiling from ear to ear the whole time, and for the next six times I watched it. The boat totally brought me back to Booze Cruise and I loved every cheesy second of it. Perfect job.

Overall, I really enjoyed it. But…
A couple parts were just too cringe-inducing (the toast scene, and any dialogue involving Andy’s scrotum).
Was anyone else reminded of HIMYM’s wedding ep, when the bride and groom ran off to get married on their own terms before the ceremony, because of how badly it was going?

I felt Kevin really brought the funny tonight.

Holly — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:42:17 +0000

Major Cheese.
It just didn’t sit right with all of the typical looks between pam jim and the camera. I guess the camera work and the actors saying their lines were not spontaneous enough. It wasn’t fresh. But now that this wedding is overwith things can really get interesting.

And how lucky those extras were on the maid of the mist. They got to be in Jam’s real wedding!

I loved it!! I agree there wasn’t enough Jim and Pam this episode which feels weird to say but overall I thought it was a great blend of seeing everyone in the office and how fantastic they are and how excited they were to see Jim and Pam finally get married. I loved the YouTube thing, I think that ties in perfectly with something they would do. They are usually late with popular clips i.e. Extreme Walking but this tied in perfectly and really showcased how talented those office folk really are Loved the boat and Jim’s last talking head it was perfect!!!

What a great episode. I was not expecting it to be as good as it was.

I was totally thrown by Jim’s slip-up at the rehearsal dinner! That I was not expecting. Even for a show as unique as The Office I was not expecting that level of their brand of awkward. They broke their own mold with that one. I think the writers really pulled one over on us, I certainly did not see that coming.

The episode hit all the right notes in all the right ways!! Jim + Pam Forever!!

I admit I didn’t love it; but it’s probably my own fault for being too excited about it. The dance down the aisle smacked of High School Musical to me, and I was annoyed with it.

But I really liked that Jim and Pam did their own thing, that was very special. And Jim’s last talking head and smile to the camera were perfect.

Loved Kevin.
I’ll watch again to see if I was being too snobby about it. Totally possible.

Despite being an emotional, sentimental episode there were so many laugh out loud moments too! Loved the opening puke scene, Kevin tripping because of his Kleenex box shoes while he was dancing, Dwight kicking the bridesmaid in the face, etc. Lots of cringe inducing moments as well but I expect that from The Office. Overall, I agree that it was really satisfying. Wondering if what happens in Niagara stays in Niagara regarding Michael and Pam’s mom?

Wow. Just wow. On so many levels. As much as I would have loved to hear their vows, I think the show handled that perfectly. And when Jim explained that he bought the tickets as soon as the youtube video came out, it killed me.

There is so much to digest in this ep. I think we all know Michael was going to end up in someone’s bed. I’m just glad it wasn’t the grandmother. And this is going to provide a minefield of storyline fodder for awhile, I think.

Everyone had a bit of the spotlight tonight, and some characters came very close to stealing the show from Jim and Pam. Particularly Andy and Kevin. When the hotel threw out Kevin’s shoes I almost cried. And that last scene with the ice will be tatooed on my brain for the rest of my life.

But back to Jim and Pam. The wedding was not anywhere near perfect, which is everything we could have expected. But Jim and Pam and their marriage was completely, utterly perfect.

That wasn’t what I was expecting but I loved it. Jim and Pam are married. Now it’s time to break them up. Where’s Roy. I’m kidding.

Can’t wait to read your take on the episode, Kath.

Words cannot express how awesome that was. And that last moment with Jim regarding plans A, B, and C… Wow.

Overall I think it was a great blend of humor, nerves, and sappiness.

And I’m not afraid to admit that this time I really did cry…wasn’t having sweaty eyeballs or making a lasagna.

I can’t muster the proper wording right now. I know that I’ll be rewatching probably two more times just tonight and maybe then I’ll be able to come up with something coherent. There was not one bad second of this ep. I love these people.

ahhh. that was so cute! I loved the whole Chris Brown dance down the aisle. but i wish there would have been more moments between jim and pam. i felt like it didn’t focus on them enough. but overall it was one of my favorite episodes!
