It’s not like there’s anything that’s going to be lost by joining them together permanently. Them being married now just fits in naturally with that. They hit these buttons right off the bat, and there’s more to it from the very start than a simple will-they-or-won’t-they device. “There’s a lot of foreshadowing of their relationship in the sense that these are two three-dimensional characters who fit together and see things in each other that nobody else really sees. Scott said further evidence comes in the penultimate episode of season two - “Master Plan,” which featured both his and Rob Lowe‘s debut. “They’re married now but they also have other aspects of their lives that are important to them,” Schur said, noting that would be what helps he series avoid the “magic is gone” phenomenon that comes when TV couples wed.

Schur, Scott and Poehler all noted that once Ben and Leslie tie the knot, the conceit of the show won’t change now that the “will they or won’t they” trope is no longer on the table.

VIDEO: THR Sets: On Set With ‘Parks and Recreation’ “In the season two finale, ‘Freddy Spaghetti,’ they exchange a smile when he walks off, and as soon as I saw that I knew not only were they going to get together but they are never going to break up.” “He just gets her and understand who she is and what her goals are,” he noted. While the initial plan was to have Scott play a love interest for Leslie, that quickly evolved into something much more permanent once Schur saw the chemistry between the actor and Poehler. “There’s a nice scene in the episode about reading the signs and looking for signs that things are right.” “Leslie is a fun combo of brains and gut, and her brain is operating at the beginning of the episode … but then her gut takes over and she goes with it,” Schur noted of the couple letting go of their reserved space and idea that both of their families needed to be there. Thursday’s wedding episode, Poehler said, will see both Leslie and Ben let go of their need to be in control and embrace a very Ron Swanson idea - spontaneity - as the wedding becomes less about the formal details than it is about them.
