How I Met Your Mother: Every Wedding Episode Ranked Worst To Best
Which ceremonies were successful and which duds ended in divorce?
How I Met Your Mother spanned 9 seasons over a course of nearly 9 years and has filled up with ups and downs, with laughter and tears, and with weddings and divorces. Over the course of the show we've seen as people got together and broke up, a key part of the show as Ted has constantly sought out the woman who would be the mother of his children yet doesn't reveal who it is. With every impending marriage that Ted was a part of, and every growing relationship, we as an audience have wondered if this would finally be the one.
But as well as that, there are plenty of other weddings over the course of the show, some of which will us with even more excitement, or perhaps even more dread. This list will only be focusing on episodes which feature an actual wedding or a wedding reception, thus the multiple episodes in season 9 leading up to Barney and Robin's wedding have been discounted.
With 11 wedding episodes in total, find out which ones were successful and which were flops.

As far as wedding episodes go, this is easily the worst one in How I Met Your Mother. Ted’s mother informs him she’s getting remarried, and to Clint who Ted has never really liked. As well as not seeing much of the wedding itself, we also see Ted’s ugly side as he leaves before his toast due to his unhappiness with Clint’s song and the situation as a whole.
This is incredibly disrespectful in any situation, especially when you’re supposed to be a key part of the wedding, thus there’s a lot of cringe-content with him dramatically leaving. As the main protagonist, we see a lot of Ted’s perspective throughout the show and we get to know his flaws as well as his more loveable traits. But while we might be fine with Ted’s tendency to correct people’s grammar and his pronunciation on encyclopaedia, seeing him act just plain mean feels out of place.
It’s understandable that he’s upset as this marks the loss of his childhood, though while many people might empathise with his feelings, his actions are too far over the line to be supportive of.
