Well, Season six of How I Met Your Mother ended tonight with a huge cliffhanger.
Ladies´man Barney Stinson is getting married. And as I predicted on a previous article, this was Barney getting married and not Punchie. It´s just that the writers needed Punchie to create a distraction.
Now, we know the groom is Barney, we don´t know who the bride is, or do we?
Well, let´s see some possibilities about who Barney Stinson is getting married to?
Who is Barney Stinson getting married to in How I Met Your Mother Breakdown
Option 1:
Barney and Robin are getting married
As I previously said, the wedding between Robin and Barney is the idea from where the writers are working on, to see how they would fit together. And now, the story for next season, since the show has been renewed for two more seasons is not who the mother is, but how did Barney get together to Robin and marries her.
I´d say the odds of Barney getting married to Robin are 73%.
Option 2:
Barney getting married to Nora
The reappearance of Nora and the challenge accepted things hints us that next season of How I Met Your Mother will include some pursuit of Nora by Barney, and probably a major story arc (I´m predicting four or five episodes even).
But that will only crack up some more of Robin faces like in the final moments of this season after Barney says “Challenge Accepted”. Now that´s a face of “I want to be with him”.
I´d say the odds of Barney getting married to Nora are 25%.
Option 3:
Barney getting married to someone we don´t know
Introducing an all new character and already with the idea of marrying him to Barney? It would take probably more than a season, and unless the writers are sure the show will go on after season 8, there´s got to be enough time to get back to Ted and the identity of the mother.
You can´t trump the arguments for Robin or Nora with a random chick we haven´t met. Or do we? Now it´s time to add Quinn to the mix. Is Quinn getting married to Barney on How I Met Your Mother? After all, they already moved in together, and the show has Becki Newton, who is a star; so why let her go and not seal the deal with her? Well, she is scheduled to appear in 8 episodes. So that means she should only be a guest star for this arc. Although that does not mean she may come back and become a regular. Adding Becki Newton to the cast could be important, although I´m not sure about the budget in terms of costs if it´s a fit for the long run or not.
Barney marrying Quinn odds are 30%.
I´d say the odds of Barney getting married to someone we don´t know yet are 1%. (maybe he pulls a Gregory House and marries some random girl for Immigration issues). Who knows?
Option 4:
Barney getting married to someone we already know from his past
There has been no meaningful relationships on Barney´s past other than Robin, Nora and the girl who dumped him when he was all hippie and innocent.
The others were not only meaningless, but we also cannot remember them because they were not important.
The ones we remember are:
Wendy the waitress: We already saw her with her future husband.
Stacy Keibler Bartender: We remember her because of who she is, not for the character per se.
I´d say the odds of Barney getting married to someone we already know he dated are 1%.
So, who do you think Barney gets married to? Does Barney get married to Robin? Does Barney get married to Nora?
Let´s start the bets in the comments section.

I hope it’s Robin! I loved Robin and Barney together and she looked devastated at the end of season 6, so I hope for her sake that she is Barney’s wife.
He’s definitly getting married to Nora 🙂
Well, the expression on Robin’s face after seeing Barney positive on getting back with Nora, it’s a great fact. Plus the talking in the car where they both agreed that “there was something there for a moment”, talking about Ted and Zoe but also about themselves.
I also read that Ted’s future wife is Barney’s step sister, because he always refer to them as uncle Barney and aunt Robin. I totally disagree because he refers to uncle Marshall and aunt, Lilly as well..
Greeting from Greece
I think it’s Robin. Because I think at the end, Barney said “Challenge accepted.” for Robin, not Nora. But it still may be Nora, because in that episode Barney said “New is always better.” all the time. And Nora’s newer.
I hope it’s Robin, but who knows? Maybe it’s someone else.
Although Barney is awesome as a single guy, he eventually he would have to mature. Never thought that he was going to marry someone though. But I hope it’s Robin – they’re great together. And I really don’t like Nora.
As for the rumour that Ted is getting married with Barney’s step sister, it could be possibly. Ted is going to meet the mother at a wedding and everything points to Barney’s wedding. If that’s true, Barney is only getting married by the end of season 8, which is probably to be the last one since Ted has 2 kids between 15 and 16 years old in 2030. Also, Barney’s step sister is in college and in the last episode of season 4, Ted says to his kids that their mother was attending his class.
But anyway, I just hope they do the best for the show.
You know there is another option that Barney doesn’t get married at all and the wedding gets cancelled or something… the only thing that we know is that it’s his wedding, but the wedding could go the way of Ted/stellas wedding.
I think too that barney and robin would be a great and sweet couple. but nora’s also smart…I like Barney and robin beeing together..and I really really hope that Robin is the mysterious bride..they look so good together.
After the wedding wie lose Barney as the character he was..He will never be the same guy as we knew him..that is really too bad..
Well someone earlier quoted Barney “new is always better” however, in this episode, he himself also states, “new is always better is my older rule which makes it the best” therefore it could be he marries Robin, through this contradiction of his rule, Robin is the old, thus the better. Obviously my position in this debate is hoping for Robin, however in a previous episode we see what it was like when he marries Nora, so it could be that is the truth. Yet again, it was just a vision of what could be, not what will be. Therefore, Team ROBIN all the way!!!
Ted started the story of how he met his wife with how he met robin, which implies that robin was crucial to Ted meeting his wife. Since Ted meets his wife at the wedding, this means that robin was also crucial to the wedding. Hence, barney probably marries robin.
God i am so curious about who he is going to marry!
Although, it’s pointing towards robin by the end, where she gets all sad about him wanting to hook up with Nora.
Somehow, i think they will do a little like they did at teds wedding, perhaps the planned wedding is for Nora and Barney, but then at the cermony Robin might stand up and object?
just an idea i had!
I think it’s Nora. When Barney asks Ted about the tie, it’s the same ties he wears on his date with nora and when he meets her again
it’s probably robin or nora because of the best man thing with robin and ted… and nora because of the “challenge accepted” in the last episode of season 6
The show is funny to some degree but I can’t pay attention to that show longer then 5 minutes maybe I would have to get drunk to watch the whole show?
I hope it’s not Barney and Robin getting married because I heard
in an interview with Carter Bays he said that the wedding will be the end of a love story but the beginning of a love story for Ted, here’s the quote:
“I can guarantee [the wedding] doesn’t go great,” adds Bays. “Nothing on this show is necessarily happily ever after. It’ll be the end of somebody’s love story and the beginning of Ted’s.” (I found this interview at the ohnotheydidn’t-website.
whoever thinks robin is the bride needs to wake up. On the final episode barney wanted to grab a cup of of coffee and said challange accepted to Nora right after she left and Robin was clearly right behind him. Besides they both said they were terrible at being a couple

I found this video on youtube about Barneys wedding
i think robin will be the bride..
remember 2 episode before season 6 finale when barney going fishing with jerry(father)
Jerry said “someday when you find the girl”
and Barney said “maybe i did”
i hope it’s for robin
he’s getting married to nora. remember that guy robin met at the store? later in that episode he was talking to someone at the phone and said ‘she (robin)is engaged, i probably never see her again’ and ted said ‘as you guys know this isn’t true’… conclusion 1: they met again. conclusion 2: if ted’s children know this guy, he has to be someone close to the group… i don’t think the children woul’ve known about it if there wasn’t a bigger story behind it. what do you think?
Nora+Barney because in S06E21 robin had a secret crush if u remember in a club with barney’s father..and in the end of the episode the narrator said more on that later(more on robin+secret crush). So, Robin cannot marry barney because robin has yet to meet with her secret crush
Even if I’d love to see Barney getting married to Nora I don’t think that is the case. Robin’s look when Barney talk to Nora in the last episode says everything. She’s still in love with Barney and with that in mind, plus Barney’s and Robin’s talk in the car, something will definitely happen between these two.
I hope its Nora 😛
Shes awesome and way better than Robin 😛
I’m pretty sure his getting married to Robin. And if not, he’s gonna leave Nora at the altar for Robin.
But he’s probably getting married to Robin, judging from their chemistry in the season finale.
barney marrying robin will be perfect….except….in season 6 episode 21 (hopeless)….the last line of the episode, ted, as narrator hints that something happens in the future between robin and her secret crush…(the guy she meets in the “club hopeless” and also previously in the departmental store, during the same time when ted buys those red boots)….
so guys it may not be robin after all….
U hope it’s Robin but if it is robin then I know too who’s going to be Ted’s wife. Let me explain. We know that Teds future wife is going to be on the wedding. so if Barney doesn’t marry someone new then that means that probably it is someone who we already heard about but we’ve never met. So I think Teds wife is Barney’s Half-Sister!!! When Barney met his little Bro he also found out that he has a sister who is at collage. We already know that Teds wife is still at collage. And if it is Barneys Sister then it wouldn’t matter to Barney that Marshel is the Best Man because he could say that Ted and he are know Family. That they are now true Bros!!!!! I coul totally see that!!
I was actually preparing this same theory as a spoiler theory. I really think Barney and Robin are actual uncle and aunt.
[…] how the bride wants to see Ted, it hints that Barney marries Robin instead of Nora, but that´s just a […]
the mysterious bride is still most probably robin. even with the secret crush, who i think would be seen again in season 7 and have an affair with robin. it is this time that i think nora an barney would break up or earlier. then barney would go for robin. *totally hypothetical*
I’ve just seen the first episode of season 7. And it gets pretty clear, that it can only be robin. When lilly comes into the room and says “ted, the bride wants to speak to you” you gotta admit, why would nora want to speak with ted? It would be understandable, if robin wants to talk to him, because they have a history, they are friends etc. also in episode 3 ted says – this thing with robin, barney and me is to complecated to work out. but we only didn’t realize it yet.- and the only thing solving this problem, would be if barney and robin got together. TEAM ROBIN =)=)
Dude I have a slap bet that Barney doesn’t marry. Robin they can not get merry marry some 1 else
Why can’t any tv show let the womanizing, (or even just happily single), bachelor stay single? Not everybody wants to get married and every show I’ve ever seen does this. I love Barney. They’ll have to change almost everything about him to make him decide he wants to marry. Sorry about the rant, but I really hope the marriage doesn’t go through.
please…barney stinson is destined to remain a generous bachelor who gives back to the world of women..
i think nora it´s a better fit for barney , because she can change him in a good way. And Robin want´s to be free and travel around the world … like ted said she well do …
It’s Nora, or someone else, but not Robin. Don’t you all remember how Robin was trying to get a date with that guy she had once seen at a department store when she and Ted were still together. At the end of that episode Retail Guy walked by on the phone talking about how he had seen Robin, but she was “getting married” (incorrectly informed by Ted) so it wasn’t meant to be. However older Ted commented that it wasn’t the end of that story. Why bring up this guy if she’s just going to end up with Barney? Nope, it’s Nora.
Just a guess,The bride is Robin, because Lily told Ted that the bride wants to talk to him. Obviously, she spoke to Lily first and Ted and Nora aren’t that close. Or maybe it can still be Nora, it’s HIYM anyway, a lot of weird things happen.
Also, a wedding might take place but it’s still possible that it won’t end up with marriage like ted/stella. If ever it’s Nora he’ll be marrying though, maybe he realizes he really loves Robin, thus the wedding won’t push through. And Ted meets the mom. And that’s it.
I do hope it’s not the other way around, like it’s Robin he’s marrying but realizes he loves Nora, thus the end of their love story. ugh. Hope for the best. Although I wish Barney won’t get married yet. being bachelor suits him. I’m kinda used to him being Barney.
I really like Victoria, she the best girlfriend ted had. I must say, the mother should be better than Victoria at least, and should be prettier than Cindy (rachel bilson). That is pressure, but I guess they’ll work it out.
Anyway as for Barney and Robin, I like them together, but I always thought Barney would be kinda cute with someone like Lily, I mean Lily got Barney to re-decorate his apartment and replace his star wars statue, she also got Barney to willingly replace porn with books(after only a few days). I dunno but that episode where they live together, was just so natural and easy, and not complicated, just fun.
Anyhow i know Marshall and Lily are perfect for each other, and they should keep it that way. But if ever Barney will end up with someone, I hope she’ll be just as cute and sweet as Lily. And no I do not mean Nora. I still largely prefer Robin and Barney, than Nora and Barney.
But you know what they should keep- they should just keep Barney single a little while longer. He will be the Barney we all know and love, but if he’s married, we’ll see less of those crazy stuff he does. Which is a bummer.
If Barney does marry someone other than Robin, I hope she finds someone too, It’ll be sad if she won’t. And for the record, It will be better if Robin marries before Barney does. But maybe they are getting married to each other. Still, Barney shouldn’t be married before Ted, that is just
ironic.
Anyway for last, I know it’s a totally weird ship (not to mention impossible) but…
In a weird way I still think Barney and Lily kinda works. She’s cute and sweet and somewhat romantic. Barney is the opposite basically, so basically he needs some kind of push. But unlike Nora, Lily can be a bit manipulative like Barney is, so they can handle each other. And they’re friendship is so cute, and they look cute together in that episode where they kissed.
Anyway I know this is never gonna happen and Lily belongs with Marhsall.
But if ever Barney doesn’t marry Robin, then I hope he’ll end up with someone like Lily.(again I do not mean Nora)
[…] And that brings back the question of who is Barney getting married to, Nora or Robin? […]
[…] Robin is pregnant of Barney´s baby! Or Robin is pregnant of Paul´s baby? It´s time to theorize. I think Robin is pregnant with Barney´s baby, and therefore, Robin is the wife of Barney in the wedding´s episode. […]
Barny marries Robin guys!
“Symphony of Illumination” S7E12 shows it all!
She hints that Barney is the father of the “children” and also, in the background when she’s talking to them, you can see the Storm Trooper!
you are sure?
sorry i thought, are you sure?
Remember too that Robin also asked Ted to be HER Best Man… maybe Marshall is Barney’s Best Man and Ted is Robin’s. Just a thought.
hey guys, if you’ve read all the past comments above, i think there is a great possibility that ted is robin’s best man because remember that episode that ted told robin that any groom who asks him to be his best man would be very lucky then at the end of the episode robin asks ted to be his best man.
Another thing too, Ted and Nora do not have a close relationship so there would be no reason for her to want to see ted before the wedding,therefore Barney’s bride should be robin then.
And as to Ted’s wife, I’m with Barney’s half-sister thing. 🙂
[…] umbrella. But not a whole lot more. But wait! We know something else, we know he meets her on Barney´s wedding. Who Barney marries is a different theory altogether, but bear with me on this one about Who the mother is on How I Met […]
Hope the Indian cab driver and the Asian Elvis are invited to the wedding he he
lets not rule quinn out of the picture future ted said “and thats how we met quinn” which means the kids know quinn. why else would quinn stick around if to be married to barney. she doesnt seem like the type to keep intouch with ted and his kids just because she USED to date barney. i think were not done with the guy from the department store. my money is on him for robin. and quinn for barney. robin doesnt want anyone who wants kids. it seems like to me barney may want what his brother (he was gushing about his little niece, hurricane stinson-mosby… i forgot her name..katie or sadie.whatever.) so robin wouldn’t want to owe barney anything the same way she didnt want to owe kevin anything.
Could be
