I'm already really intrigued and excited about what comes next! And there's sixteen parts, which is awesome! It gives me lots to look forward to. I love how you've set this up, with Ted already knowing he's meeting Cindy's former roommate and having some sort of really romantic gesture planned for her. I can't wait to see what that romantic gesture will be. And I also really loved Ted's architecture metaphor, about how most people don't meet at 18 and build their lives together from there, because that's very true.

Aw, thank you! I'm pretty psyched (and a little overwhelmed) to attempt such a long story. And yes, you'll have lots of misadventures to look forward to (well, I hope you keep looking forward to them!). I just had to get my own thoughts on what might be happening at the wedding, and we'll certainly get there eventually.

I'm glad the architecture metaphor worked for you! I feel like that's something Ted has to keep coming back to throughout the show - he idealizes Marshall and Lily, but he can't replicate that, you know? So it's got to be very different when he finally meets the Mother.

Awesome

The wedding itself is so mysterious, I couldn't resist doing the same, hehe. Thank you!

Very very cute! Ooh, I do like where this is going. Very interesting take, and has a LOT of promise! Looking forward to more!

Oh, yay! I'm so glad this works for you so far! I guess we'll see when we get down into the other verses. :) Thank you so much!

Oh my gosh, I loved this. You have Ted's voice down sooo well. I cannot wait to see how this plays out!

*a la Barney in "I ♥ NJ"* Gaaaasp! Thank youuuuuuuu!!!

That is such a wonderful compliment! I haven't done too much writing for Ted, so I'm really glad his voice comes through to you. Thank you!
