The Office Wedding: Jim And Pam's Date

Jim and Pam's wedding was a highly anticipated event in the sixth season of The Office. The couple, portrayed by John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer, respectively, finally tied the knot in the two-part episode Niagara, which aired on October 8, 2009. The episode was written by Mindy Kaling, who also played Kelly Kapoor in the show.

Jim and Pam's wedding was filmed in Niagara Falls

The cast and crew of The Office filmed on location at The Red Coach Inn in Niagara Falls, New York, where the guests were supposed to be staying. The exterior shots of the hotel were used in the episode. However, the interior shots were filmed at the Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City, which was closer to the show's actual stage.

The Maid of the Mist boat that Jim and Pam get married on is also real. The cast and crew filmed on a real Maid of the Mist boat with members of the public on board, who were trying to get a closer view of the falls. The boat scenes were challenging to shoot as the cast and crew had limited space and time to work with. They had to film without trailers and hope that the wedding wasn't spoiled by onlookers. They also had to deal with the noise and water from the falls, which made it hard to record sound.

The couple had a secret wedding before the official ceremony

The secret wedding was filmed guerrilla-style. The cast and crew had to get it done in a matter of an hour or so. They also had to hide the fact that it was Jim and Pam and try not to let people see the actual wedding in case it got spoiled. On top of it all, John Krasinski, who plays Jim, had the flu. So one of the most romantic kisses in the show is actually just him giving her a huge kiss on the cheek because he didn't want to get her sick.

Jim and Pam's first kiss was in season 2, episode 1

While this was their first on-camera kiss, there were hints of their chemistry and Jim's feelings for Pam from the very first episodes of the show. In the second episode, "Diversity Day", Pam falls asleep on Jim's shoulder, and in a talking head, Jim says it was a "pretty good day", indicating that his feelings for Pam were developing.

Jim and Pam's relationship was a focal point of the show, with their constant joking and quick exchanges catching the attention of the documentary crew from the very beginning. Their friendship consisted mostly of playing pranks on their coworker Dwight and enjoying each other's company.

The tension between them increased throughout the second season, with Pam's romantic feelings for Jim becoming more evident, although she seemed to be in denial about them. After Jim confessed his feelings for Pam during the season 2 finale, "Casino Night", the pair shared a kiss, marking the start of their official relationship.

Jim and Pam eventually got married in a two-part episode in season 6, "Niagara", where they eloped to Niagara Falls.

The episode featuring their wedding was called Niagara

The episode featuring Jim and Pam's wedding was called "Niagara", a two-part episode in season 6 of The Office. It was the 4th and 5th episodes of the season and the 104th and 105th episodes of the series overall. The episode was written by executive producer Greg Daniels and Mindy Kaling, who also plays Kelly Kapoor on the show, and directed by Paul Feig.

The episode opens with the office staff travelling to Niagara Falls to celebrate Jim and Pam's wedding, under strict instructions not to mention Pam's pregnancy. However, Jim accidentally reveals this to all the guests during a toast at the rehearsal dinner, upsetting Pam's conservative grandmother, who decides not to attend the wedding. Michael later visits her in her hotel room and manages to convince her to attend.

On the morning of the wedding, Pam accidentally tears her veil and calls Jim, upset about her appearance due to the pregnancy. Jim meets her and, in an effort to console her, cuts his tie in half. The two then run away from the church together and get married on board the Maid of the Mist IV ferry boat, below the falls. When they return to the church, the guests interrupt the ceremony by recreating the JK Wedding Entrance Dance.

The episode also features subplots involving Andy injuring his scrotum while dancing, Michael and Dwight trying to hook up with women, and Kevin's shoes being thrown away by hotel staff due to their foul smell.

"Niagara" received positive reviews from critics and fans, with many considering it a classic episode of the series. It was viewed by 9.42 million households and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.

The wedding was in season 6, episode 4

Jim and Pam's wedding was in season 6, episode 4 of The Office. The episode, titled "Niagara", sees Jim and Pam finally get married, but with a twist. The episode focuses on the ceremony, in which everything that can go wrong does go wrong. However, Jim and Pam also have a secret "real" wedding, which the audience sees interspersed with moments from the epic "Forever" dance down the aisle.

The episode was written by Mindy Kaling, who also flew out to shoot the Niagara Falls scene on location. Kaling recalled:

> Going on the actual boat was so special. It was just me, Jenna, John, Paul [Feig], the script supervisor, and the cameraman. I was in my 20s and sitting in a parka, sweatpants, a hat, and sneakers and getting splashed on as I watched Jenna getting doused with water and mist from the actual falls, but I just remember how beautiful she looked."

Director Paul Feig called the episode "very challenging" due to the wet conditions. He explained that they were not allowed to take over the boat and had to film with the public on board. They ended up using footage from the afternoon, when the boat was soaking wet, as it "felt real and pure".

Jenna Fischer, who played Pam, called the experience very special and very posh and fancy, a contrast to the usual filming conditions. She also wore her wedding dress out of the hotel and back, in a "guerrilla-style" approach to filmmaking. John Krasinski, who played Jim, recalled having the flu on the day of filming and not wanting to get Fischer sick, so he kissed her on the cheek instead of on the lips.
