Thursday's episode of "The Office" was five years in the making and was nothing short of magical. Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly aka. Jim and Pam aka. PB & J finally got hitched! In the past, hour-long episodes of "The Office" seem to drag on and seem awkward, that was definitely not the case with the 2-part episode, "Niagra." I realize I'm days late so I'll save you a full recap and just give you the hilarious highlights.

Jim, not Michael, was the one to reveal Pam's pregnancy to her conservative Grandmother and wedding guests. The kicker was when he asked himself, "Does being a manager make you say stupid things?" referring to his recent promotion to co-manager. Michael then took it upon himself to smooth things over with Mee-maw and accidentally promised that Jim and Pam would name their first child Sylvia Mee-maw Halpert, or Sylvio if it's a boy.

Dwight is apparently a ladies man in Niagra Falls. His going out clothes consist of green cargo pants and this special t-shirt. He hooks up with Pam's Maid of Honor forcing Michael to sleep in the vending room in the hallway.

As promised there was another "Office" dance party (after the success of last season's "Cafe Disco" Andy got a little ahead of himself trying to impress the new receptionist, Erin, and tore his scrotum while attempting the splits. Poor Pam was the only sober one around and was responsible for taking care of Andy and his genitals on her wedding night. She called Jim to take care of it but he was getting wasted with Michael and Dwight, which was the only missed opportunity in the episode.

Kevin had the honor of being the b-story this episode in his attempt to pick up chicks at the wedding. The sad sack tried to look his best by leaving his shoes in the hallway to be shined only to have them incinerated by the hotel staff due to their stench, leaving him only kleenex boxes to use for shoes. The only ammo he had left was his toupee.

Poor Pam took a beating dealing with all of her friends and family's antics but the last straw was her veil tearing. I died when Jim cut his tie. Part of me thought it was super sweet but the other part of me was thinking "Why!?" I was just in a huge family wedding the previous weekend and that type of behavior wouldn't not have gone over well. Even so, Jim had another plan up his sleeve and whisked Pam away from the madness.

And finally, the ceremony itself...I could never do it justice by explaining what happened so here's the clip.



Let's just say I was laughing, crying and feeling happy all over for this portion of the episode. I couldn't have expected anything better and they kept the sappiness to a minimum and did not disappoint. Phyllis and Bob Vance's romp down the aisle cracked me up, Oscar's voguing was perfect and of course seeing what Pam and Jim did when they snuck away. I lost it when I saw Michael's tears of joy. The whole episode was spectacular and of course ended with Michael hooking up with Pam's mom which I predicted at the beginning of the episode (although I did change my mind for a minute when I saw Mee-maw come into the picture!).
