10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About The Office
1. Pam's Ring
The whole roller coaster of the Jim and Pam's relationship is a TV courtship rivalled only by the likes of Ross and Rachel. Certainly less turbulent than their Friends counterparts, we see the couple go through denial of feelings, finally getting together, eventually getting married and having children. One of the most touching moments in their relationship was Jim's proposal to Pam in the pouring rain at a rest stop.
This rest stop was not a genuine shoot on location. It was in fact a replica built by the crew to allow the ease of shooting, but actually ended up costing over $250,000 and cited by a producer as "the most expensive and elaborate shot we've ever done". Bear in mind this includes Toby's leaving party that had a full sized functioning Ferris wheel.
A sweet footnote of Jim and Pam's relationship is that Jenna Fischer kept the ring Jim gave to Pam even to this day.
It's nice to know that fans of the show are not the only ones with sentimental attachment to the characters, and that the love for the Dunder Mifflinites also resides within the actors themselves.
