Answer: Dwight and Angela

Dwight and Angela tie the knot in the final episode while literally standing in their own graves (a Schrute family tradition). After years of romance and heartbreak, the two become engaged when Dwight declares his love for Angela. Angela also reveals that Dwight (and not her former husband) is actually the father of her son Phillip. Though their engagement happened in the previous episode, a year has actually passed between the start of the engagement and the wedding.

Answer: Andy Bernard

Andy has already left Scranton to pursue his dream of becoming famous, thus escaping Dwight's firing squad. The firings of both Kevin and Toby are shown in an episode flashback. Kevin is able to land on his feet, becoming the owner of a successful bar. Dwight's dislike for Jim has had him fantasize about firing him for years. However, when he finally does it, it's out of compassion. Dwight fires both Jim and Pam before they can resign so they can get severance packages. Jim and Pam are headed off to Austin so Jim can pursue his dream career in sports management.

This tradition, which Andy has apparently done from day 1 as regional manager, sparks a number of different reactions. Erin loves it, as does Stanley (as it means home time). Pam tries to sing along but still doesn't know the words.

In turn, Phyllis is shown feeding fudge to Stanley's replacement in an effort to get him to gain weight to better resemble Stanley's larger physique.

From Quiz The Office has Left the Building

Answer: Michael Scott

Jim is originally Dwight's best man or bestest mensch (another Schrute family tradition). He ends up playing his "best prank ever" on Dwight when he tells him he cannot be the best man and then reveals that Michael has come to fill the position. There were conflicting reports that Steve Carell (the actor who plays Michael) would be/would not be returning to the show. Despite denials from several people close to the show, Carell returned to film a heart-filled (and hilarious) cameo.
