How I Met Your Mother: Ted's Relationships Ranked
4. Stella
Stella and Ted's relationship proved to be one of his best. Unfortunately, their breakup proved to be one of his worst.
Ted and Stella meet when he goes to visit her dermatology office in order to remove his butterfly tramp stamp. Since doctors can't date their patients, Ted waits until all ten sessions are over before asking her out. Stella declines since she is too busy for a relationship, but she changes her mind after Ted takes her out for a "two minute date."
They two date for a while, but after an accidental breakup, Ted wins Stella back and proposes to her. She says yes, and despite the fact that Stella has to pretend that she likes Star Wars when she actually hates it, the two make for a very happy couple. However, when the day of their wedding arrives, Ted makes the mistake of inviting Tony, the father of Stella's daughter Lucy, when Stella explicitly told him no exes at the wedding. When Stella and Tony reunite, they run off together, leaving Ted at the altar and breaking his heart.
Though their breakup was devastating, it was ultimately for the best. Even after their engagement, Ted struggled to name a single one of Stella's hobbies or interests. Still, Stella would probably rank higher on this list had she not ended things with Ted the way she did.
