I was very excited for this episode of the office. Its the one that many of the fans have been waiting for, Jim and Pams wedding. The first 3/4 of the episode if pretty much good old goofy Office style. Michael and Dwights funny antics, laugh out load jokes, and Andy's unfortunate injury. Only it was the last quarter of the episode that stood out from any other Office episode ever. From the dancing in the aisle by the Office employees to the amazing shots of Jim and Pam on the Maid Of The Mist. They all tied in well and made this possibly one of the most unforgettable moments in the shows history. I really felt that the crew members hit the target with this and made it memorable, especially for the true fans. Then to cap it off, Michael hooks up with a certain someone's mother which should make the rest of this season great!

Be warned. I will spoil if you haven't seen the episode. Five years and over 100 episodes for this moment. And it delivers big time. Slightly drunk Jim telling Pam they should talk forever. Andy's injury. Dwight's wolf shirt. Kevin's destroyed shoes. The scene with him and the ice machine. Michael's painting and the other painting he doesn't show us.
But as great as the laughs were this episode never could be fully or even mostly about that. Hidden in the insanity of this office is a real love story. It has always been there. We know it's more than just about everyone can hope for in real life. But some of us do get to live it. The rehearsal dinner speech. Jim cutting his tie for Pam. Everything on the boat going right this time.
His last line gives romantics everywhere a reason to keep it alive. "I knew as soon as I saw that video we'd need a backup plan. The boat was actually plan C. The church was plan B. And plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her." I hope everyone everywhere finds the person that lets them say this same thing. It will be worth whatever the cost.

What a perfect wedding! And a perfect episode. (I had it on TIVO and watched it twice) I loved the fact that they gave Pam and Jim a really romantic wedding (the one you wanted for them) performed by a ship's captain under the Falls, in addition to the big farce with the families (the wedding you personally wanted to see). I loved the viral Youtube dance, and wondered how the original couple who did it felt, watching. The Office had the rare opportunity to pull it off while everyone still remembered the original video, and before the whole thing got to be a tiresome cliché. Bravo.
Does anyone else besides myself think they're setting up Michael Scott and Pam's mom? Speaking of that, I seem to remember someone other than Linda Purl playing Pam's mom in past episodes. Does anyone know if they switched actresses? Also, wasn't Stanley's wife white? Did I miss the story line where he divorced the white wife and married a black one?

Niagara: Part 1 (#6.4)

Everyone goes to Niagara to celebrate Jim and Pam's wedding.
Great episode out of the office. I liked how Jim gave away that Pam is pregnant. I am sure nobody expected him to be the one who does it. Michael even was surprised. All the stuff that Michael was saying at the table was very much him though. Loved it. Michael and Dwight flirting with girls and Dwight finding twins was a laugh out loud scene. And Oscar being all upset that somebody thought Kevin was his boyfriend was great.

The Office 'Niagra Pt. 1 and 2' Review
maine_31022 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Finally it's the big one 'Jim and Pam's Wedding' and everyone from the office is invited. I am sure Jim and Pam could have easily told them a different venue and have their wedding elsewhere with only their family and true friends, dumping the drama down the drain. As much as Jim and Pam may resent working with some real downers, their wedding would not be the same without them. That and they would have creepy phone calls and unending chatter if they stood everyone up.
The one thing I loved about this two part episode is that we got to see both sides of the family relating to Jim and Pam. We had some re-occurrences and new faces, but out of all Pam's Grandmother took the cake. I knew someone would have revealed Pam's pregnancy and all eyes would have been on Michael, but the way Jim delivered it '...because of obvious reasons' was essential and in a way unexpected from him.
I can tell you for sure that I didn't really peg Dwight to be the stud muffin the writers portrayed him as nor did I ever believe a member of Pam's family would fall head over heals for him. That was an odd twist to the show when Dwight sent Pam's sister away like a one night stand put away like last weeks garbage. I actually felt sorry for her, especially since her taste in men lacked the necessary thrill of the moment. It would have been fun to see Angela and Dwight use the moment to rekindle or deal with whatever flame they once had together. The whole Dwight-Andy-Angela triangle is still unresolved.
I honestly commend Jim and Pam for redeeming their marriage at the last moment, every girls dream is to have their wedding at Niagra Falls on the Maid of the Mist...well at least it was for Jim and Pam when they tied the knot, it was one of the most beautiful scenes. I saw the expressions on their faces when everyone decided to make a mockery of their wedding-somewhat- it was like 'You can do whatever you want to this wedding, because my dream wedding just passed a few hours ago. At least the engagement is over.

I really loved this episode. Jim and Pam have been my favorite characters since the Office started, so seeing them get married was just amazing. This episode was so much fun to watch, the cinematography was beautiful and the acting was superb.

This is such a beautiful episode. Jim and Pam are what make the Office the best, and this is their best episode. It's funny, heartwarming, emotional, and everything you love about the Office in one episode. I love the direction, the acting is flawless, and the script is great too. I love this show and everything about it. Almost every other episode is an 8, 9 or 10/10 too. It's too bad that people are coming on here and rating every episode a 1/10 and leaving negative reviews just because they don't think something is awesome, but rate it 1 star just to bring the rating down.

10/10 wedding episode
Pruikhoofd30 January 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Part 1: The first part is really funny and contains some great scenes, for example: Michael finding out he doesn't have a hotel room and Dwight tricking him was quite funny. Another scene from this part where Jim accidentally tells that Pam is pregnant was also really funny.
Part 2: this is the best part of the two, with the famous dance scene at the church to the Chris Brown song. Also the ending with Kevin sticking his sweaty feet into the ice machine was a typical office joke which was a good ending of this episode.
Overall 10/10.
