1. Jim knows about the notebook she's been hiding in the back of her closet. The one filled with wedding dresses and bouquets. He knows she doesn't want to recycle anything from last time, and that her protests of "I'm not planning anything" are complete lies. And it always makes Jim smile.

He's at the grocery store buying a pack of gum she asked for and a magaine she didn't. At home, he tosses her the Wrigley's and the copy of "Brides"

"I told you, I'm not planning anything."

"Yeah, but maybe it's time you start." He drops to one knee

2. He's been away for nearly a week at a sales convention and she's absolutely dying to see him again. She's so anxious, in fact, that she arrives at the airport twenty minutes early. After an endless wait, his flight is announced and streams of people flow down the escalator.

She waits.

And waits.

And there's no Jim. Finally, the escalator is deserted. Just as she's about to call his cell to see what's going on, she sees him. And he's holding a sign. And on it are the three most beautiful words she's ever read.

Marry Me Beesly.

3. He had had enough bad parking lot memories to last a lifetime. He decided it was finally time to create a good one.

As they were walking out of work, Jim pulled Pam to the side. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"We have to talk."

"Halpert! What's the rule about parking lots? That's not even funny."

"It's not supposed to be funny. It's supposed to be a surprise." Her eyes lit up and glistened with tears as he pulled out a small velvet box and dropped to one knee, right there in front of the Dunder Mifflin sign.

4. Fall was Pam's favorite time of year. A huge maple stood just outside her second story bedroom window, and it was almost bare. Early in the morning, when the sun was just peeking over the horizon, Pam liked to sit by that window and draw. That day, she pulled up a chair, set her sketchbook in her lap, looked out the window, and started crying. In the leaves was written a message--a question. When she regained her composure, she quickly set to work drawing the scene below, with one small change. The leaves now spelled her answer, "Yes."

5. Pam died of boredom, and Jim got that look in his eye. Ten minutes later, he led her to the break room. At Jim's urging, Pam opened the lid to her teapot and found a note. "Find the spot of your best 'first' kiss."

"Cheeky," she said, skipping to Jim's desk.

Several notes later, Pam found herslef all alone in the elevator ("Where's Jim?") reading the last clue. "Find where you saw the best fireworks show in Scranton." Laughing, she headed for the roof.

There, Jim was waiting with two lawn chairs, grilled cheese, a citronella candle, and a ring.

1.  Dwight had his great-great-grandmother's gold pocketwatch tucked safely in his jacket.  Rings were so pointless.  A watch was a much more practical and useful expression of love.  When he gave it to her and asked the question, Angela slapped him.  Then they went home, and she smiled and said yes.

2.  Ryan didn't have a ring.  He wasn't expecting to propose.  But when he saw the look on Kelly's face, the words just came out. She had  been trying to hide the slowly growing bump around her middle, choosing just the right outfits to hide the bulge.  She tried to blame it on all the fancy dinners Ryan had been taking her to, even though they hadn't gone out to eat in a month.  Finally, Ryan knew she was going to admit that she was, in fact, pregnant.  And he thought it was better to propose before hand.  He'd get more credit that way.

3.  Michael proposed to Carol on their ninth date.  He wasn't going to make that mistake with Jan.  He was much wiser now; knew how easily women got scared by the thought of commitment.  He waited until the tenth date.

4.  "Hey, Pam."

"I'm Phyllis."

"Um, I don't think so.  Phil's a boy's name.  Anyway, wanna get married?"

"I'm already married, Creed.  To Bob Vance, of Vance Refrigeration."

"Oh, yeah, the guy that gave me that refrigerator.  You're a lucky woman."

"Thank you Creed, I know."

5.  "Hey, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure Pam.  What's up?"

"I...I'm really sorry.  For everything."

"Pam..."

"No, Jim.  I have to say this.  I'm not as patient as you; I can't wait three years.  I have to tell you now.  I love you."

"Pam..."

"Marry me."

"What?"

"Marry me, Halpert."

He was silent for a long time.  Finally, he said, "When we get married, will I still be able to call you Beesly?"

"Absolutely."
