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.
