This is so monumentally clever! Because whoever the bride and groom are, I'm sure your story will still work! And I love listening to Ted Tedding-out to himself about his stupid, romantic gesture (Whatever that is).

This has got to be the most future-proof and well rounded HIMYM fic ever made!

[magpieinthesky]

Haha, yes, that's definitely the point of this bit at least - try to be as Joss-proof as possible! Thank you very much, I'm glad Ted Tedding-out worked for you. He's such a Ted! :)

This is positively fascinating!

I like the way you're keeping the bride and groom's identities secret and the way you're incorporating a few things from canon (i.e. wingmen, plus 2, Cindy, etc.)

Can't wait to read more.

Eeee thank you! My ridiculous memory of randomness in this show finally pays off. ;) I'm glad you like it. :D

Okay, already loving it! I'm dying to know who your bride and groom are, but more importantly, what Ted's heading for.

So many parts I love in this chapter-- from him not having Robin's preparedness, to the foundations of their relationships, to all that too-much-information re: Marshall & Lily.

Looking forward to the next!!

Oh Mezz, I cannot tell a lie: I was very anxious, hoping you would like this! Thank you for making me the happiest of magpies. (plus, I got your valentine card today! SUCH ADORABLENESS I was smiling so big!!!) ♥

[secondmezzanine]

Oh YAY I'm so glad you got it! I kept forgetting to put it in the mail and being all, "oh nooo, now she won't get it till NEXT WEEK" etc. so YAY. :)

This is so awesome! I love how you haven't (yet) revealed the bride and groom to keep a mystery in the story as well as in the show. I also love that Cindy is here to provide a prepared introduction to Ted and her ex-roommate/Mother-to-Be, plus, yay for Romantic Ted!

The more I read this, the more excited I'm getting for the final wedding reveal!

[magpieinthesky]

Thank you so much! I think many of us are very interested in what's going to happen at the wedding, so of course I had to try to put my spin on it. I'm glad it works for you!!

[klutzy_girl]

Ooh, interesting so far! I can't wait to see what happens next! (I'm hoping the bride and groom are Barney/Robin. Kinda sounds like them!)

[magpieinthesky]

Thanks! I have my own ideas re: the bride and groom, but I am witholding final judgment until they are either revealed in show or I get to the end of this fic and make that call myself. But it's fun speculating!
