Me gustó tu historia. Me gustan las historias bien escritas, y me encanta cuando en esas historias, Jim o Pam hacen algo fuera de lugar para poder estar juntos. No tengo tanta suerte como tú. Sé algo de inglés, pero no lo suficiente para escribir una historia en ese idioma, asà que te admiro por ello. Ojalá publiques algo más. Desde España.

Hi <3
I just wanna say that this was awesome to read. I loved how you described Jim's feelings, it was kind of poetic. You almost made me start biting my nails again cause I was so nervous for what was going to happen and you used so many things from different episodes and blended them perfectly into the fic. I just loved everything!
Please, keep writing cause you're amazing at it.

This is interesting! You've put Jim through a big range of the iterations of his feelings towards Pam at this pre-wedding moment - he's angry with her, he thinks she might love him too, he's hopeless, he's hopeful, he's frustrated, he's ready to take a big swing, he's resigned to letting it happen. He's clearly reeling in the face of the catastrophe ahead of him, and you've let us see that.
I thought making it clear that Pam is having enough doubt to mention it to Jim even before he makes his confession was a good choice - if he's not going to confess until she's inches away from the altar, I think it's important to paint her as already less than convinced this is a good idea so having her ultimately change her mind seems natural.
I always like a nice creative use of the teapot note - and it's a particularly nice addition for a Secret Santa fic!
And I really enjoyed these lines: "The magic is in how we wring our hyper specificity for universal truths. In how we believe we are finding love, In whether we think we are deserving of it once we’ve found it."
Welcome to MTT! Congrats on starting with a bang - we're happy to have you here!

So that was a whirlwind. Seemed like even after Jim made the decision to leave Australia he's still all over the place mentally. He gets three voicemails from Pam saying she's having second thoughts then has a fight with her on the phone. Good way to show how his mind is all over the place.
Then to use the Casino Night lines there at the church was a nice tough. The image of him leaving the ceremony was a bit heartbreaking, but then Pam shows up. Nice way to end it like that.
Nice job for your first fic. Welcome to MTT.
