The Office has always been aces at romance, the adorable, sweet, funny kind. Nowhere was this more evident than Jim and Pams wedding, which took place both on a boat in Niagara Falls, just the two of them, and at a more public ceremony where their colleagues ripped off a viral video. This is the only instance it's totally fine to tear up, in a squishy way, at a Chris Brown song. Screenshot, NBC
"The Office," Jim and Pam

This one's humor is way! dark: Ki! m Kardashian and Kris Humphries make a fortune having their "fairy tale" wedding on television.

"Girls," Jessa and Thomas John
