If you’re from NEPA, and it doesn’t matter if it’s Scranton, Hazleton or Wilkes-Barre, you’ve heard of The Office. Not everyone watches it, but everyone KNOWS it. And if you know me, you know I was watching last night when Jim & Pam finally got married.

Before watching, I was a little bit upset. The Office is set in Northeast Pennsylvania and I was looking forward to a good, old fashioned NEPA wedding. How can a show that takes so much care to accurately reflect our region go to Niagara Falls for the wedding of two of their most loved characters? Though I can certainly appreciate the thought that goes into a destination wedding – the farther we go, the less people that can follow us, LOL.

Despite my initial misgivings, I wasn’t upset about the location by the time it was over. In my humble opinion, this episode was perfect. It captured the deep and long standing love Jim and Pam share, but it also kept it light with the ridiculous antics of Michael, Dwight and Andy. Even NEPA Groom was entertained, and I know sometimes he has to humor me with the Pam/Jim stuff.

The part that everyone is talking about is the JK Wedding Dance spoof at the end of the episode. Not only is it hysterical, but it’s really touching as well. Jim and Pam had the wedding they wanted. When things got too intense, they turned to each other and found their comfort zone. The shots of them getting married in the falls are some of the most touching I’ve ever seen on the series. I can only hope that NEPA Groom and I find our own special moment like that during our wedding day!
