I didn’t want to watch it, but my guy kept up a friendly persistence that finally won me over. We rented season one of The Office, the American adaptation of the British comedy series about life in an office at a paper company. It didn’t take long before I was hooked. What took four years to broadcast took us only a month to watch (thanks Netflix).

Then, as if the show weren’t embarrassing enough, they had a wedding. The boss, Michael Scott (played by the comic, Steve Carell) had a simple job…push the father of the bride in a wheelchair down the aisle. Anyone who’s seen this show knows that it was a recipe for disaster.

And it was.

Cheers to you, writers and producers. You have made me feel even more embarrassed than I ever thought possible. This one single episode has me looking over my shoulder for my own personal Michael Scott wedding moment. May it never come.
