Episode Quotes

Barney Stinson: [Reading a brochure on the place the wedding is taking place] Namaste Yoga and Meditation Collective?
Marshall Eriksen: I don't know about you guys, but namaste here any longer than I have to.
Narrator: Kids, usually a moral comes a the end of the story, but this one is so important I'm saying it now: never invite an ex to your wedding.
Lily Aldrin: There's no meat.
Barney Stinson: There's no alcohol.
Marshall Eriksen: It gets worse, you guys. I think that guy you were talking to was lead singer for Spin Doctors.

Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (revealing mistake): Stella states that she is born and bred in New Jersey, but in the scene where she talks about Tony not letting her daughter go to the wedding she speaks with a clear Canadian accent - her pronunciation of "aboot" as Robin is generally teased for is a dead giveaway.
  • Goof (continuity error): When you see Barney working in his office there is a "Perfection" poster hanging on the wall behind him next to the "Teamwork" poster. One scene later you see the "Awesomeness" poster at this spot.
  • Goof (continuity error): When Ted is narrating the story to the kids that he and Stella would have had if they had gotten married, the little yellow bus that belongs to the actual mother is present on the ledge behind the couch.

Trivia

  • One of Barney's formulas says: CH3CH2OH=OHOHOH. CH3CH2OH is the chemical notation of alcohol.
