Thanks again! My grandmother in Scotland has a vanity just like that and as a girl I remember visiting her and doing the same thing Pam does in this chapter.
Thanks for your encouraging reviews!

Hawaii - how totally perfect! We went there 2 years ago and totally fell in love with it. We even saw 2 weddings on the beach when we were on Maui. What a awesome place to elope to. Can't wait to read more!
Author's Response:
I've always wanted to go to Hawaii and I thought I remember Roy saying that Pam wanted to go to Hawaii for their honeymoon in Back from Vacation. It's also still the US, so their marriage would be valid in the States. It's all guud.
Thanks sharing your trip and for your review!

I looove the idea of them eloping! That is such a perfect plan for the 2 of them. So romantic.
Author's Response:
Thanks! I love the idea too. It may never happen on the show, but a girl can dream.
Look forward to more romance!

I'm with Pam, I can harldy wait....for the next installment! This is so how I would imagine Jim being when planning a wedding...involved and excited, but totally willing and happy to do what she wanted. I imagine him this way if he ever found out about Pam wanting a house with a terrace. Great stuff here!
Author's Response:
Thanks for your excitement! I can see Jim supporting Pam with all kinds of things.
Look for the next installment next week!

I love this story Bees! Can't wait to see what you have in store for the wedding? Is anyone going to find out??
Author's Response:
Oh, you'll just have to wait and see. I want to write this story up until the season 4 premiere and I can usually get a chapter a week done, so look forward to 2-3 chapters more.
Thanks for the review!

This is Marshmallow Fluff fluffy and I love every word of it! Another great chapter, Bees!
Author's Response:
I know! It's getting fluffier by the chapter. I think I'm just wrapping myself in fluff to prepare for anything other than them being married in the premiere.
Thanks for your review! Here, have some chocolate and graham cracker with your marshmallow.

oooh - I'm all for eloping!! Let's just try to avoid Sandals: Jamaica, okay? We don't want Michael stealing credit for the idea somehow!! ;-)
Author's Response:
Yes, I think we've seen and heard enough of Sandals Jamaica (on the show and in License to Wed).
I have the perfect spot picked out.
Thanks for the review!

Love it Bees. The elopement idea has kind of been stuck in my head too. I don't really want to see another Dunder Mifflin Wedding extravaganza.
You write extremely well - I've enjoyed the whole story and eagerly anticipate each new chapter.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much! I don't think we'll ever see a Jim and Pam wedding on the show. So, we'll read about it in fanfic.
I really appreciate your review!

Not Sandals Jamaica, I hope!!! BTW, lots of nice places in St. Thomas -- or Hawaii -- but any site that results in Mr. & Mrs. JAM will be dawesome.
Author's Response:
I do have a location picked out, but you'll just have to wait and see :-)
Lake Scranton perhaps?

I definitely see Jim and Pam going this direction, as I have a feeling the joys of wedding planning were completely sapped out of Pam.
Author's Response:
Yes. Especially after Phyllis stole all of her ideas.
Jim and Pam's planning will be short and sweet. Thanks for your review (I am LOVING your Jim and Ryan story btw).

Yay! 'Let's do it.' I love it. I can't wait to learn where they go to elope!
Author's Response:
I'm glad you liked that part. I was toying with having Jim give another big speech about his love for Pam, but then I thought, no, I think "Let's do it" would cover what he needs to say.
Thanks for your review!

Well in my humble opinion...the JAM elopement can only take place in JAMaica! LOL
Author's Response:
Ahhh, that does make sense, but I do have a destination in mind and it isn't Jamaica. Good idea, though. For some reason I think Jamaica has been tainted by Michael and Jan!
Thanks so much for your review!

Beet babies and eloping. Who could ask for anything more! Romantic tropical island sounds good to me. How about Nevis? I've never been there, but I've heard it's nice. Or Key West. Probably more within their budget! Can't wait to hear where you send them, Bees!
Author's Response: Thanks! There's nothing better than beet babies and eloping, for sure. Oh, and thanks for the suggestions. They are both good, but I do have somewhere in mind. You'll just have to wait and see ;-)

Wow, their reasoning for eloping makes so much sense! Especially Jim's point about being in front of the cameras for so long. Great idea!
Author's Response:
Thank you! As much as Jim hams it up for the camera, he seems to be very private when it comes to his feelings for Pam. That was my reasoning for having him agree to elope.
Stay tuned for more!

Nice comparisons between the first engagement and the second. And I find it funny that she'd feel the need to run back to talk about wedding things - seems very happy!Pam... Nice work!
Author's Response:
Thanks so much, moxie! Your review means a lot to me.
You'll see why she has to talk to Jim in person in the next chapter. It's a bit of a big deal.

I love the vanity. And this? 'But Pam ignored that voice and did what many 23 year olds did when they were proposed to by their boyfriends. She said yes.' I love this. and feel like it really captures what she was feeling and thinking.
I just love this story because I love knowing the ending and getting to that happy place. Thanks for this happy journey! Yay!
Author's Response:
This will be all happy times and I'm glad your all set for the joyful journey!

I love the connection Pam feels to the vanity. I totally understand her feelings as I've felt that way about some of my grandmother's things, too. You're doing a great job with Pam's past, present and future interweaving with each other.

“You make me feel alive. These past three months have been amazing and no one…no one has ever made me feel so loved. I never ever want to know what life is without you. Ever.” You have quite a gift for writing romantic lines. So very beautiful and heartwarming.
Author's Response: Thanks! I think it's just dreamy to even imagine Jim saying that. *sigh* I heart him so much.

"We need to be together now and enjoy each other now and begin the rest of our lives starting now.” Beautifully romantic line. And Pam proposes? Love this story already.
Author's Response:
Thanks so much! I am a sappy romantic, so it figures I'd write a story like this.
