Ok, over the seasons the question has been, Who is the mother on How I Met Your Mother. We thought it was Sarah Chalke at one point, and we kept wondering about different important girls of the show.
One thing we know for sure is, she was the unknown roommate of Rachel Bilson´s character Cindy, and we also know for sure she has a yellow 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 Your Mother.
When Barney meets his father Jerry Whitaker, played by the uber great John Lithgow, we also get to meet his family, Nancy Travis playing the wife and Cheryl, and the son JJ Whitaker, but, and here´s the theory part, Jerry has a daughter who is going to college and we did not get to meet. Probably she was in the classroom where Ted Mosby mistakenly started his class, she is probably Cindy´s roommate, but also, and here´s the important thing, Barney´s sister would probably get invited to Barney´s wedding, even making Barney and maybe Robin, Ted´s kids actual Uncle and Aunt.
So, what do you think about this Spoiler theory for How I Met Your Mother that Barney´s sister is the mother? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section.

I like this theory, but I do have one thing to add to it. We do, in a sense, learn the name of the Mother. In Episode 9 of Season 1, “Belly Full of Turkey,” Ted’s telling a false story to the Kids, saying he met their mother in a strip club, and he mentions her name being Tracy, and the kids believe it. Obviously, the kids are going to know their mother’s name, so her name would have to be Tracy, unless they made a mistake, or the kids, for some odd reason, made it through their lives, never learning their mother’s name…Idk. The only problem is this, is that Jerry’s daughter’s name is Carly. But it is also out there that the Mother is the random girl Ted bumped into at the St. Patrick’s Day party. For one, why would they randomly toss that in there, if it wouldn’t be of importance somehow, at sometime; two, it’s mentioned earlier in the same episode that she was at that party. Plus, when he said she was there, it showed her with the umbrella, so all you saw was the umbrella, her coat, and her pants…The girl he bumped into, just so happens to have the same pants as his Wife…You just have to pay real close attention to see that.
I see your point. But here“s the thing. Tracy could“ve been the stripper name. So there would be no problem there. She did not need to use her real name so the joke would be the mother stripped as Tracy.
