How I Met Your Mother S09E19 – Vesuvius
On the morning of the wedding, Lily and Robin have a fight and Barney
freaks out about which suit to wear. Meanwhile, the gang watches a movie
Ted has forbidden them to see.
The show opens with The Mother and Ted sitting in the Farhampton Inn in 2024, being waited on by Curtis. Ted attempts to tell her stories like he told his children, but they both discover that they have told each other every story they have, finally considering themselves, "an old married couple." Thanks to Curtis, luckily, Ted realized one story which he believes she doesn't know: the story of the lamp. The show cuts back to 2013, where Robin and her sister are playing hockey, and Robin hits the lamp with a puck. Lily then walks in, and, feeling nostalgic, shows Robin a scrapbook of her and Barney's love life. Robin is bored by this, however, leading Lily to believe that Robin isn't processing the fact that today is her wedding day very well. Lily tries to get her to feel more anxious to make sure she realizes what the day is, but Robin gets excited when she sees The Wedding Bride Too on her TV, frustrating Lily enough to leave.
Lily tells Marshall about this, but when she tells him that Robin is watching The Wedding Bride Too, he rushes over to her room to watch it. While they are enjoying the movie, Lily still believes that Robin isn't processing her emotions well, so she puts on the wedding dress she planned to wear for pictures to try and scare Robin, but Robin still doesn't show any kind of reaction, frustrating Lily even more. Meanwhile, Ted catches Barney secretly entering a room, and finds out that the room belongs to, "Susan Tupp," leading him to believe that he is cheating on Robin. Ted breaks in to try and catch them in the act, but discovers that Barney actually rented out the room as storage for all his suits. Barney is freaking out over which suit to wear, a metaphor for the fact that he is getting cold feet over being married. Ted suggests different suits to Barney, to no avail. Finally, Ted tells him to try on the suit his tailor made for the wedding day, but Barney dislikes it, claiming it looks and feels terrible. Ted explains to him that this is simply because the suit is new, but once he gets out there on the dance floor with the "suit", he will feel it is a perfect fit. This relaxes Barney, and he signs off on the suit, and, technically, marrying Robin. Ted and Barney then go to Barney and Robin's room, where the gang realizes that it will be their last day together, as Ted is moving away the very next day. They are sad at first, but get over it somewhat, and Barney, Ted, and Marshall go and get some food. Robin then goes to get ice; on the way, she sees her mother , and happily embraces her.
Flashfowarding back to 2024, The Mother asks rhetorically, "What mother is going to miss her daughter’s wedding?", which causes Ted to become emotional and sad, knowing that The mother will miss their daughter's wedding. She brings up another story, trying to distract him from his sadness. This cliffhanger opens the doors for the viewers' imaginations to come up with what this question really means.
