How I Met Your Mother Finale: 10 Questions We All Need Answered

2. How Ted Meets (And Falls In Love With) The Mother Of His Kids

How I Met Your Mother Ted Mother I know this is kind of a given, so I added the part about falling in love to keep you from rolling your eyes. Okay, we've all been waiting for this, some of us for 9 years. How are the writers going to meet our expectations? They clearly took the safe route by pacing themselves with little reveals here and there, staying away from having us meet the mother at the same time as Ted and even showing us how he's going to propose to her. Still, there's a ton we have yet to see. After all, there's a pretty good chance that the mother is still dating Louis, the guy that Ted talks about in The Time Travelers episode from season 8. How is Ted going to win her heart when it looks like it's already taken? For me, that's going to be way more interesting than an exchange of "Haaaaave you met me?" My prediction is that the writers will keep showing us flashforwards of their future relationship before Ted and the mother actually meet. I wouldn't even be surprised if we got to see their wedding before they lock eyes for the first time.
