ross & rachel. zack morris & kelly kapowski. jim & pam. what do these couples have in common? they have that plot-generating will-they-won’t-they relationship that helped keep their much-loved tv shows high in the ratings game. after 5 seasons of everyone’s favorite ‘office’ romance, jim & pam are finally tying the knot. premiering october 8th (i know - too long of a wait!), the special hour-long episode of ‘the office’ is promising lotsa good stuff.

entertainment weekly got the scoop on jim & pam’s upcoming nuptials and baby mania – check out their cuter-than-cute footage from the cover photo shoot below.  john krasinski (jim) says of the two “when you have two characters who are so perfect for each other, it’s a little weird for them not to get married. so you have to put that step in, whether it’s been done on television successfully or not.” but i don’t think they have much to worry about. besides, the ratings for ‘the office’ just keep going up.

of course the real wedding fun begins when pre-ceremony havoc is wreaked by none other than jim himself. not to worry – the whole dunder mifflin crew is there to help “fix” it. and what about the baby in pammy’s tummy? she’s only four months along so all actress jenna fischer’s gotta worry about now is getting fitted for that prosthetic belly. gotta wait ’til february for that little cutie to make it’s ‘office’ debut!
