Ted Mosby sits down with his kids, to tell them the story of how he met their mother. The story is told through memories of his friends Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Barney Stinson. All legendary 9 seasons lead up to the moment of Ted's final encounter with "the one."

"Girls vs. Suits"

Ted meets Cindy (Rachel Bilson), a student (PhD candidate) who is close to his own age and who happens to be roommates with his future wife. Barney, meanwhile, tries to pick up a hot bartender (Stacy Keibler) who hates guys in suits by wearing casual clothes leading to a musical number performed by the entire cast.

"Big Days"

Ted and Barney argue about who has "dibs" on a hot girl at the bar while Marshall's closeness with his father and desire to start a family gets him into trouble with Lily.

"Band or DJ?"

Robin wants Barney to ask her father for permission to marry her. Lily and Ted feud about planning the wedding, which gets Ted to admit his regrets about letting go of Robin and Lily to confess her regrets about motherhood and her career. Baby Marvin's bout of constipation stresses Lily and Marshall.

"How Your Mother Met Me"

The 200th episode of the series recounts some of the significant events that took place in the mother's life during the eight years before she met Ted, and how a number of these events connected to him and the gang.
