It’s official, though Michael Scott still doesn’t know. Pam and Jim from
The Office are tying the knot this season, midway through Pam’s pregnancy.
Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam, broke the news exclusively to TVGuideMagazine.com, saying she’s being fitted for wedding gowns with room for Pammy’s bump.
“The plan is for Pam and Jim to get married in the fourth episode,” she said from
The Office set, where production on Season 6 began last week. Writers are still working out the details, but Fischer said, “It’s going to be a destination wedding, probably in Niagara Falls. By making it a destination wedding, the hope is that nobody from the office will come.”
Though Pam will be four and a half months pregnant when the show returns on September 17, Michael will remain clueless. “We’re keeping it a secret from Michael for a couple of reasons,” said Fischer, who recently announced her own engagement to screenwriter Lee Kirk. “First, Jim (
John Krasinski) and Pam aren’t married yet, and also, just, you know, it’s Michael Scott we’re dealing with.”
Fischer, meanwhile, is happy to be back at work—especially since she has a better desk this season. “They moved me from reception to a desk next to John and
Rainn Wilson, and it’s so much better,” she said. “It was like I was stuck on an island. Now I’m between two of the funniest guys on TV and we laugh all day long.”
Asked if she’s certain that Jim is the father of Pam’s baby, Fischer said, “What, do you think this is?
Grey's Anatomy? Pam’s a one-man woman, without a doubt!”
