Season 8 finally took off and it looks like the much-awaited
identity of Ted’s bride will finally be revealed. The season premiere ended
with the lady approaching the place she finally encounters Ted (it certainly
looks like the place J).
However, a huge yellow umbrella hides her from plain view. Let’s see when she
makes an appearance again.
First things first though. The season finale from the
seventh season had confirmed that Barney and Robin do end up having a wedding. We
get just a glimpse of the pre-wedding jitters and then we are taken into the
past again. Back to where Barney and Quinn have just gotten engaged and Lily
and Marshall are proud parents.
Baby Marvin has arrived and the new parents are quite a sight. Sleep-deprived,
they let slip in front of Quinn the one thing Barney had been keeping from her.
Quinn is a little perturbed when she finds out that Barney and Robin had dated
but relaxes when Robin tells the gang about this new boyfriend she has.

The touching moment comes when Robin opens the storage box
that Barney has kept hidden somewhere. In it are all the mementos from the time
the two had dated and it is very clear that Robin still has feelings for Barney
and misses their time together.
Meanwhile, Ted learns an important lesson. Remember, he and
Victoria drove off into the sunset in the season finale. Well, Ted convinces
Victoria to at least leave a farewell note to the groom. Things twist a little
and there are some funny moments. However, Ted gets some sound advice from the
groom, Klaus (who was also running off from the wedding actually!). And Klaus’s
words help Ted realize that Victoria might not be the girl he has been waiting
for.
