Barney and Robin

Barney and Robin's wedding is the day Barney Stinson and Robin Scherbatsky get married. It is also the day when Ted finally meets Tracy McConnell. The day is referred to as "The most important day in all their lives." The identity of the bride and groom was a long-running mystery slowly revealed over three seasons.

Flashforwards to the wedding day occurred in Big Days​​​​, Challenge Accepted, The Best Man​​​​, The Magician's Code - Part Two​​​​, Farhampton and Band or DJ?. The entirety of Season 9 is set during the weekend of the ceremony; starting from Friday at 10am when the gang is leaving New York City to attend the wedding, as seen in Something New​​​​.

The ceremony takes place in The End of the Aisle on May 25, 2013.


Details about the wedding were revealed slowly over three seasons:

Barney and Robin's romantic history goes back to Sandcastles in the Sand, when they first sleep together. In the Season 3 finale Miracles, Barney starts looking at Robin as a prospective love interest following his near-fatal accident. Although he reveals his new feelings for Robin to Lily in Do I Know You?​​​​, he fails to reveal his feelings directly to Robin, until he finally does in The Leap​​​​. The two become a couple in the Season 5 premiere, and they persevere until The Rough Patch​​​​. Robin hints at remaining feelings for Barney in Challenge Accepted and at the end of Disaster Averted when they kissed. That leads to them sleeping together, as revealed in Tick Tick Tick. At the end of The Rebound Girl, Robin tells Barney she's pregnant. However, after seeing a doctor, they find out that she is neither pregnant, nor can she ever have kids as revealed in Symphony of Illumination.

In The Best Man​​​​, Lily informs Ted that Barney's bride wants to see him, hinting that the bride is someone that Ted and Lily are close with. Furthermore, in False Positive​​​​, Robin asks Ted if he will be her best man after he gets the entire gang to stop their childish behavior. If Robin is Barney's bride, it is likely that Ted is Robin's best man as well as Barney's. In The Magician's Code - Part Two​​​​, it shows Robin in a wedding dress. Barney and Robin become engaged in The Final Page - Part Two​​​​ and spend the second half of the eighth season planning their wedding and dealing with issues that come their way.
