Jim and Pam's wedding dance scene is based on a real couple's wedding

In Season 6, Episodes 4 and 5, fans are treated to Jim and Pam's wedding. A plethora of disasters and mishaps occur as the countdown to their wedding dwindles down, but ultimately the two are married. At the end of the wedding, a sequence that is probably very familiar to fans begins: A montage of the couple's wedding adventure as well as the show's characters dancing down the aisle plays to "Forever" by Chris Brown. This very scene was actually inspired by a real life couple's wedding.

You may have seen a YouTube video of a bride and wedding party dancing down the aisle set to "Forever" by Chris Brown. This video would eventually be turned into the iconic scene on "The Office." According to Minnesota New Country, this video was originally uploaded by Kevin Heinz and Jillian Peterson for those who could not be in attendance at their wedding, but unexpectedly the video became a viral sensation. The video became so huge that the couple was even flown out to be featured on "The Today Show." Furthermore, the couple uses the video to raise for charity originally donating to a domestic violence charity, but now uses it for Peterson's violence prevention nonprofit.
