Growing up, Marshall would playfully scrap with his brothers - under no-holds-barred rules - and would call his dad daily no matter how many years went by.
So, when it came time for Lily and Marshall to tie the knot at the end of Season Two, you'd be forgiven for assuming his tight-knit family would want to be in attendance for such an important moment in his life. In the end, though, not a single Eriksen could be spotted on the day Marshall gave himself an unfortunate trim... and got married to the love of his wife, no less.
