Kim Ferry: Both got soaked the first take, it was awful. But they did get soaked, which was not ideal for our hair department head, Kim Ferry. I was so worried, like, are we going to get soaked? Is the camera going to screw up? The camera didn’t screw up. Paul Feig: It brought so many logistical things that it was hard to invest in the emotion of it at first. So the first obstacle? Shooting on location on an actual boat on the river below Niagara Falls. Jim and Pam plan a church wedding, but when they realize that it is becoming more about the guests than each other, they sneak off to get married in secret on the Maid of the Mist. The Maid of the Mist has been taking tourists on a boat tour of Niagara Falls (well, the river below the falls) since 1846, and it’s carried passengers like Marilyn Monroe, Stephen Hawking, Princess Diana, and Mick Jagger. Paul Feig: We were going to shoot on this boat, the Lady of the Mist or whatever.īrian Baumgartner: Maid of the Mist. It was a real “everything that makes it harder makes it better” situation. Much like Jim and Pam’s relationship, the shoot for this episode had many obstacles. In season six, it was time for Jim and Pam to finally tie the knot, and the entire office went to Niagara Falls for the wedding. Congrats? I hope you enjoy your marriage with all your horrible baggage.” Not a happy ending. What’s not gonna be satisfying is if they get together at the end of season nine after multiple affairs. Things where they’d have to weather the storm together, which is more interesting and realistic. Like Pam wanting to go to art school or Jim wanting to start his own business or having their first kid or whatever. And so what we’re going to need to do is bring them together and then give them obstacles to overcome as a couple.” So rather than obstacles that keep them from being a couple, give them obstacles to break through as a couple. That’s exhausting and it’s not realistic. So I think the question was: Can they get together and be a stable couple, and will we still care? I remember having a conversation with Greg, and he was like, “what’s going to lose people is if we just keep manufacturing these weird ways to keep them apart. Jenna Fischer: I wasn’t, because we had been together now for a couple seasons.

The final Christmas-themed episode of The Office was in Season 9, 2012. "Christmas Party" is also a favorite for Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fisher) fans as it is the episode where Jim gives Pam the most thoughtful gift of all, the blue teapot with all of their memories and inside jokes.
