The Office: JIM AND PAM GOT MARRIED! WOO HOO!

That. Was. Fantastic. That was hands down, bar none, the best episode of The Office I've seen in over year. Hands down. For a long time I've thought Jim and Pam are the only good thing about this show, so it makes sense that an episode about their wedding would force everyone to raise their game. Heck, even Michael was acting nice, aside from his ridiculously awkward toast. I love the way he talked to Pam's mom.

I'd also say the rest of the Dunder-Mifflinites brought their A-game as well. Andy rupturing his scrotum (Yes, I really did write that because it really did happen), Kevin losing his shoes because they smelled too bad but gaining a toupee which looked awesome, Dwight going boom boom with a bridesmaid, and, and, and............sorry I was getting overly excited.

Really though, as with so many things from this show, the episode was totally made by Jim and Pam and the wonderful sweetness of their relationship. The running bit about mental pictures was adorable, the scene between the two of them just before the wedding when Jim cut off his tie to cheer up Pam was sweet, but the kicker was the walk down the aisle. Jim's brothers decided to replicate that "Forever" wedding march that made the rounds on YouTube earlier this summer and the entire crowd danced down the aisle and it was amazing. Jim and Pam didn't mind though, because they had run off earlier to get married on one of those Niagra Falls ferries, which we got to see interspersed with the "Forever" dance.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
