Nope, not at all. I'd at least watch a disc at a time.

Exactly.

My girlfriend and I started watching them through Netflix late last summer. It got to the point where we would get the disc in the mail when we'd get home from work, watch the whole thing then put it back in the mail the next morning.

If you’re hoping How I Met Your Mother‘s sixth season finale will completely resolve the year-long Future Wedding mystery, I have news: It won’t.

But don’t un-Save The Date just yet. There’s a very cool twist in the works, one that will continue to unravel well into Season 7 — and maybe beyond.
A CBS insider tells TVLine that while the Monday sitcom will flash forward to identify the bride and groom at the close of the May 16 season finale, that reveal is merely a piece of a much larger story that will unspool in the present.

“The wedding takes place ‘a little ways down the road’ — an unidentified, unspecified amount of time away,” HIMYM executive producer Carter Bays tells TVLine, echoing the onscreen subtitles that have appeared with each of this season’s glimpses at the future. “We will be jumping forward for the last scene of the finale, but then we’ll return to the present day when we start Season 7.”
Adds Bay, “The idea is that we’re going to keep revealing little details about this wedding day as we build toward [it] within the chronological story of the show.” And though clues will be dropped throughout Season 7, the ceremony itself won’t necessarily arrive before that finale, either.

In other words, the mystery of the show’s titular mother — whom we know Ted meets at the aforementioned wedding — will itself be couched in the mystery of how that wedding comes to be, given the likely surprising identity of who it is trading vows.

How I Met Your Mother‘s recent two-year renewal gives Bay’s team more flexibility to flesh out the original mother mystery with this wedding wrinkle.
“We always knew how the series was going to end, but this is a new element that we came up with this year,” the show runner explains. “It adds a new dimension where you’re not just asking, ‘Who is this woman that Ted’s going to meet, and how does he meet her?’ There are now other questions.” Namely, who’s getting married? And once that is revealed in next month’s season-ender, how will that couple get to the altar?

That answer to that second mystery, says Bays, “will be slowly unveiled over the course of the series.”

How do you feel about this wedded twist? Who do you now think will be revealed as the bride and groom at the close of the upcoming Season 6 finale?

When they say finale they mean in the Season 7 finale not the series finale, correct?

If it is the series finale I will be pissed.

[DIDriveOut2SPAC]

I believe so.

Nope. They renewed for 2 more seasons. There will be 8 seasons when all is said and done.

I knew that, I was talking about season 7 season finale, and answering the question stated above.

I'm a fucking idiot. My bad. I misread his post. I thought he was asking if they were referring to the series finale.

[magic stuff]

My prediction is that the wedding is Barney and Robins (I'm one of those who thinks they're gonna end up together), the reason Ted looked so strange about it in the premiere was cuz he didn't know how to feel about it. They want you to think it's Punchy's, but I think that's red herring.

[magic stuff]

Scratch that, I think Barney marries someone other than Robin, cuz if Barney and Robins wedding is the wedding Ted meets his bride, well wouldn't he already have met her if it's one of Robins friends who lives in New York? I think it's Barneys wedding though for sure.

[CrashTheStone41]

Lorenzo Von Matterhorn is a great idea.

Based on the recent news, I'm 99% certain I know who the mother is...

In order to figure it out, we first need to figure out who's wedding it is in the premiere and finale. It's fairly straightforward.

1. It's a wedding where Ted is the best man. However, Marshall is also in the wedding. That knocks out Punchy's wedding.
2. Lily also seems to be in the wedding party as well.
3. The creators say that the wedding occurs in the near future and that we will be surprised by whom the bride and groom are. We will see how they get to that point over the next coming seasons.

It leads me to believe that it's Barney and Robin's wedding.

Now for the mother...

1. Ted meets her for the first time at the wedding. So they are not friends with this person.
2. Meeting the mother for the first time indicates that she is not a part of the wedding party, but know the bride and/or groom.
3. It has been established that the mother is currently in college.

We recently found out that Barney has a younger half-brother and half-sister (who happens to be in college). I fully believe that the mother is Barney's half-sister. Ted wouldn't have met her prior to a wedding because he doesn't really know Barney's father and has no reason to try to know him. And it would validate the "Aunt Robin and Uncle Barney" that future Ted uses, because they would be the kids' (half)aunt and uncle.

Good work Mr. Holmes. I seriously think you might be onto something. I entirely missed the first sentence of the last paragraph, well the non-obvious factor.

Tough to argue with this.

[magic stuff]

That makes a lot of sense actually, because it's very doubtful that the mother is just some random girl at the wedding Ted meets. There's gotta be some major connection to a major character.

I have another possible theory.....how do I do a spoiler?

[DIDriveOut2SPAC]

[_spoiler_] text [_/spoiler_] remove underscores

[UTTAD-BTCS]

I think that wedding might be The Captain and Zoey getting remarried or possbily even The Capain and someone else. And that the mother is The Captain's daughter.
My reasoning behind this is:
-That The Captain is a lot older than them and could have a daughter in college and that could be why she didn't like Zoey because he married someone that was closer to her age than was to his age.
- In the first season Ted talks about how he met a stripper and helped her or something and she said o and by the way my real name is Tracy and then he says to the kids and that's how I met your mother and the kids freak out....they wouldn't freak out if the mom's name wasn't Tracy...and we don't know the daughter's name
- In the episode where he talks about how he thought the job in Chicago was his destiny but in fact it wasn't, it was to stay in NY or else he wouldn't have met the mother....if it was Barney's wedding he would obviously be in NY for the wedding and would have met the mother there, so it would have to be people he got close with AFTER the whole job in Chicago thing, which would be the Captain and Zoey. If he went to Chicago he wouldn't be close with them and wouldn't have been in their wedding and wouldn't have met the mother.

Those are my thoughts on who the mother may also be

[unccrombie]

^ why would Marshall be in that wedding?

Exactly, I feel that Joruus is may really be onto something.

Well the wedding takes place in the future and Season 7 goes back to explain the present and how it came to be and they have all gotten close with Zoey and Ted gets close with The Captain then I'm sure Marshall does too
