Phyllis's Wedding - Synopsis

Synopsis

Phyllis Lapin (Phyllis Smith) has asked Michael Scott (Steve Carell) to push her father's wheelchair down the aisle at her wedding, a role that she gave him to secure six weeks off for her honeymoon. Michael assumes that his doing so will be the wedding's highlight. Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) is upset that many details of Phyllis's wedding, from the invitations to the wedding gown, were copied from her own canceled wedding.

During the procession, Michael becomes petulant when Phyllis's father "upstages" him by walking under his own power. Goaded by Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson) hunts down wedding crashers. He ousts Phyllis's Uncle Al, who fails to pass Dwight's questioning due to dementia.

Michael makes several attempts to recapture the limelight, including an embarrassing toast at the wedding banquet, which gets him kicked out of the reception hall by Phyllis's husband Bob Vance (Bobby Ray Shafer). Dwight does not let him re-enter, and Michael must sit outside listening to Uncle Al's ramblings. Pam stares as Jim and Karen Filippelli (Rashida Jones) dance together, and when Jim catches her eye, his face turns to sadness as she walks away.

Roy Anderson (David Denman) pays "Scrantonicity", the Kevin Malone-led (Brian Baumgartner) wedding band to play his and Pam's song, "You Were Meant for Me". The two dance and leave together to Jim's obvious dismay. However, Jim soon states that "Here's a non-hypothetical: I'm really happy I'm with Karen." When Phyllis leaves the reception hall with Bob Vance, she thanks Michael for finding her Uncle Al, and the newlyweds ride off in a Vance Refrigeration van.
