John Krasinski officiates a quarantine wedding, reunites The Office cast to celebrate


John Krasinski's weekly dose of happy news had some happy surprises for one couple who have a strong emotional connection to The Office and, perhaps unexpectedly, got married. Emma Stone's brief weather report "brings us to a segment we like to call 'Love in the Time of Quarantine,' because through all these difficult times, through all the anxiety, through all the confusion, the one constant that we've seen is that one of life's greatest clichés" — love will conquer all — is true, he said.
Krasinski showed a montage of babies born during the pandemic and reunited families, but "not even quarantine can stop one of life's greatest opportunities to celebrate love: weddings," he said. He focused on one wedding in particular, the one he officiated on live Zoom, with a new tear-jerker of a wedding song performed by Zac Brown, a supporting role for Jenna Fischer, and an afterparty featuring the rest of the Office crew.
