With the highly-anticipated wedding episode I was worried that the writers would go all mushy and lose their comedic edge, but they didn't and the result was that "The Office" was at its best, both hilarious and touching in its trademark quirky fashion. Like my personal favorite scene where Jim cuts his tie in half to help an overwhelmed Pam forget about her torn veil!
But of course nothing demonstrated this delicate balance better than the final act, a spoof on the viral You Tube video "JK Wedding" interspersed with clips of and Jim and Pam's last-minute escape to Niagra Falls. As I watched it I was reminded when dealing with the chaos and demands of everyday life sometimes you need to get away and spend a moment with what matters the most to you before you head back to the circus.
And just in case you haven't seen it yet, here is the original clip that started it all:

i watched this heavily anticipated episode last week and loved it!
thanks for posting and letting me revisit the happy moment! :)
i keep thinking they will lose their winning streak but it just gets funnier and funnier...
In some ways it was the worst episode ever (are there NO nice normal people in Jim & Pam's lives besides each other?) but that definitely kept it from descending to schlock. And made it hilarious. And I guess wedding and holidays do tend to bring out the worst in even the best of people.
It would have been VERY easy to trim that torn veil instead of chopping the tie, though. Tulle or netting doesn't even need hemming, so all she'd have had to do was to take the scissors and trim off the ragged part. (The seamstress in me was driven crazy by that plot twist.)
